Tucked away in the bush with native trees and flaxes. Quite and homely with just the sound of Tui's and waves to keep you company. Excellent cooking facilities everything catered for.

“Highly recommend as a base to visit surrounding trails & beaches.”
The proximity to Farewell Spit, local beach and privacy. The shared lounge & kitchen is exceptionally set up with private ensuite rooms. Hosts Trish & Mike were more than accommodating, have good local knowledge and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Lovely bonus having bacon, eggs, tomato, fruit, cheese, bread, cereals, milk, tea, coffee & juice supplied to cook your own breaky.

“A relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings.”
We had a wonderful stay at Twin Waters Lodge. Trish and Mike are fabulous hosts, and looked after us and the other guests beautifully. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the ensuite bathroom modern and well designed. The guest lounge/kitchen is great and it was lovely to prepare a couple of light meals there so we weren’t having to eat out all the time. The lodge is quiet but an easy 10 mins drive from Collingwood. It’s also great for getting to Farewell Spit. We had 3 nights there and loved every minute.
