We stayed here in June, as a couple for 2 nights in a Garden Apartment room. Pros: The apartment was very new, spacious with a large bedroom, ensuite and separate dining/living room The food is superb. We had the 10 course degustation menu with matching wine - I cannot recommend this highly enough The cooked breakfast was also excellent, fresh... More

My Wife and I stayed here at short notice. We were warmly welcomed by Barbara and Harrie. The villas and grounds were absolutely stunning. A short drive into Katikati for necessities. Also, turn the other way and great adventure is to be had. Much to my annoyance I only had Harrie cook for me once.....a breakfast. It was stunning and... More

We chose to stay at Fantail because friends had stayed here for a conference about 20 years ago and raved about it. Since then, brand new villas have been built. We spent our wedding anniversary in a lovely shiny new villa and felt like royalty. It looks like they're doing some work on the grounds which will really add to... More

We chose Fantail Lodge for our annual company planning meeting. We didn't know what we were in for so flew somewhat blind as to how it would be. Quite simply, we were blown away with the experience. From the rooms, to the service, but above all the food is brilliant. Harrie & Barbara are world class in their delivery of... More

We stayed this weekend in one of the villas (7B) for a very special occasion and it surpassed our expectations, Our view was towards citrus trees and spacious grounds with quails and pheasants in the early morning, just amazing. Katikati is surely not Queenstown but for a romantic hideaway spending quality time together it could not have been better. the... More

We stayed at the Lodge for 2 nights and we were glad we upgraded from an Estate Room to a Villa. Very clean, tastefully furnished and kitchen and bathroom were nicely fitted out. The setting of this place in the park is unique, it is a lovely environment and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. However, next time we have... More

My partner and I booked into Fantail Lodge for our honeymoon night on the 28th of Jan 2012. The villa was nice and clean, but we had a nasty shock when looking around the place to find that the door to the ajoining villa wasnt locked and we were greeted by a very shocked naked couple when opening the door!...

Our stay was a disaster!! On Holiday from Ireland prior to Christmas 2011 I surprised my wife to a quiet night away. On checking in we were taken to our room on the other side of the lodge, This was a mid week booking and there were 2 other families staying at the lodge and could not understand why we... More

We loved our stay in Fantail Lodge! The villa is very nice and clean, with a beautiful view on the garden. You've got a good privacy and everything you need to relax. The owner is a chef so food is excellent and the service is very nice and warm. Really, if we come back in Katikati, we'll definitly book a... More
