Gina's Garden Lodges are four spacious, well appointed completely self-contained Lodges with full self-catering facilities. Owned and operated by traditional leader Queen Manarangi Tutai and her family. The property is set in a beautiful garden - two acres of flowers, plants and trees - near Tautu Village.
There is an 11.5 metre by 4.5 metre swimming pool in the grounds complete with large wooden sundecks for sunbathing. This pool and decks are tastefully fenced according to New Zealand standards, so as to be childproof. The gate is childproof and self closing.
Each Lodge is very well furnished for comfortable and relaxed living. The beds are superior, and comprise one double bed and one single bed downstairs, with two single beds in a mezzanine loft, accessed by a staircase. There is a large covered verandah overlooking the garden.
Each Lodge is fully screened for guest comfort. Included with comprehensive cooking facilities ( small stove with oven, electric frypan, toaster, electric jug plus a very good inventory of cooking utensils and dinnerware) - are solar hot water , fans, refrigerator and television.
Mini Bar service is available on request.We are licensed to sell alcoholic beverages to guests.
Room Service: Each Lodge is serviced every day.
Capacity of Each Lodge: We have had a family of five from Europe - sophisticated middle to up-market clientele - living comfortably in one Lodge for five days. They were four adults and one boy of about 12 years.
We are aware however, that some people would wish to have more individual space.Please Note that our brochure is conservative in this respect, stating a maximum capacity of 4 adults, or three adults and two children. Experience
has shown us that given the right customers we could cater for up to five adults in one lodge.
