Thank you for your kind comments. It is always good when guests enjoy their stay with us but it is especially pleasing when guests appreciate the stunning beauty of Karekare and Piha - so close to Auckland but a different world, More

We stayed at Lone Kauri Lodge in February 2013 for 3 nights - what a lovely place, and Ann and Keith were so welcoming and helpful. Lovely breakfasts (not to mention the cup cakes and other goodies that appeared during the afternoons); and our hosts gave us lots of helpful guidance about seeing the local area - you won't regret...

As wwoofers, we were perfectly welcome in Lone Kauri Lodge. The comfort and equipments were excellent but the most amazing thing with this B&B is probably the scene over the valley, the quietness of the place, the new zealand nature that is so close and the "not old at all" hosts! We deeply enjoyed our stay as we were looking... More

Anne and Keith are warm and welcoming hosts, and really went beyond all expectations in helping out two Canadians preparing for the ITU World Championships in Auckland. They even put us in touch with a local triathlon coach who very generously gave us a personal tour of the Olympic distance bike course in Auckland. They have a beautiful spa, which... More

We have been twice to Lone Kauri Lodge, we love the place, nearby Piha Beach and other outstanding spots. Keith and Anne become good friends. They are very good people and excellent hosts. The B&B is very clean, warm and with amazing views. Food is great. I strongly advise to travelers this B&B: price is reasonable too. Paolo&Evelyn

Couldn't think of a better place to chill out. Outstanding accommodation in superb surroundings looking out to the Tasman Sea. Breakfast was gorgeous. If this wasn't enough, hosts Keith and Ann couldn't be faulted as hosts - a perfect example of Kiwi hospitality at its best. Thanks guys - we loved every minute of our stay Geoff and Jennie Coromandel
