I had an incredible time at this pristine escape! The location offers breathtaking views of Pelorus Sound, and the accommodations are both clean and comfortable. The hospitality from the hosts really made the stay extra special. On the downside, there wasn't much to do nearby, and while the food was generally good, some options could be better. Overall, I found the experience to be great value for a serene getaway.

Te Rawa is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape with stunning views over the magnificent Pelorus Sound. The clean and comfortable accommodations really made me feel spoiled. The warm hospitality from Erika and Walter, along with delicious dining options, added to the experience.

I had an unforgettable stay at Te Rawa Lodge, enjoying the serene beauty of the bay and the vibrant local life. The new owners, Rob and Anne, have certainly transformed the place with their warm hospitality and revamped dining options. The food was exceptional, especially the fresh fish and chips during our lunch stop. However, I wish we could have stayed longer to explore more of the area's activities.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this serene location in Pelorus Sound. The hospitality was top-notch, and I truly enjoyed my time relaxing with fantastic food and stunning views. While I didn't stay overnight, I could see how inviting the place is for a longer visit. The only downside was that I wished we had more time to explore the area, but that's a small price for such a magical spot.

Visiting The Lodge was a delightful experience with breathtaking views of the Pelorus Sounds. The rustic ambiance complemented our lunch perfectly, and while most of the food was exceptional, a few items missed the mark. Overall, it's a beautiful spot worth a visit, especially during a day out on the water.
