I contacted the lodge directly for a romantic weekend away with my partner. From the first contact Marilyn and Keith's attention to detail came through. They booked restaurants for us and ensured we got a complimentary glass of reserve wine at the restaurant. Keith drove us to our destinations when possible and both Keith and Marilyn shared their local knowledge... more

Despite only staying one night we were treated like royalty by the best hosts we have experienced yet. Not only that, the lodge was immaculately presented and the facilities and ammenities were first class. Attention to detail was faultless and while Keith and Marilyn made themselves available at all times they were in no way intrusive to our privacy. The... more

I can't recommend Breakfast on the Beach highly enough. It will blow away forever any negative notions you might have about B&Bs as dingy old homes run by quirky people with cats.

My wife and I spent a delightful long weekend as guests of Keith and Marilyn in their recently established lodge on Waiheke. Even before Keith picked us up at the wharf after the short ferry ride from Auckland Marilyn had already made bookings at the three best restaurants on the island: no need for us to even think about it.... more

Simply outstanding. Unreservedly recommended. If you want to know more, read on.... Keith and Marilyn hosted my wife and I, for our combined 50th birthdays, together with our family and friends, totalling a party of 9. Their lodge is easily 5 Star; there are no modern luxuries missing including a five person spa, with built in sound system. The lodge... more
