Interesting - no one there to check in or out. Just left key on counter for us. Nice and clean room, small and basic, but that’s all we needed for a short overnight stop.

Value for money but the apartment which sleeps 4 could do with a refresh and refurbishment. Great location in Havelock.

Cosy kitchen. Didn't much like the room, which was a concrete box, but serviceable enough for a quick overnight stay after catching the late ferry.

Room was a great size for four people. Lovely large deck with a view of the boats. Good cooking facilities if needed. We walked to dinner (there were lots of options).

Fun and friendly
Clean, comfortable and good value. We stayed in the apartment which was spacious and had a great balcony looking out over Havelock. It's not The Ritz, but it's unpretentious and friendly and I would certainly stay there again

Comfortable bed and the room was warm. Unfortunately it was on the front of the building where all the road noise from trucks on the state highway from 3.30am kept me awake.

Not bad
The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable but there were a few cobwebs. The bathroom was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. The WiFi worked well. Lots of parking. Good proximity to the rest of Havelock

We arrived late and tried to be quiet, to prevent disturbing sleeping guests, but hinges on cabin door seemed to require oiling, as creaky... as was the door of the guests who arrived later than us.

A haven on a rainy night.
A place for backpackers which welcomed us, a senior couple. Why this place has a 2.9 is unjustified. The ambiance is friendly. People who pay one star should not expect five star lodging.

Good place to stay before a kayak adventure
We enjoyed our time at the Bluemoon Lodge. It is reasonably priced and falls between a hostel and a hotel. A bit closer to a hotel in that you can have a private room and bath, but don't expect extra services. The staff was friendly and the room was tidy. The fridge in the room gave us a good chuckle. The lodge is also the starting point for the Pelorus Eco Adventure Kayak trip, which was the main reason we selected the lodge.
