Top Totara River Hotel Reviews

Awatuna Sunset Lodge

Awatuna Sunset Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Sunset Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Elizabeth and Selwyn made us feel genuinely welcome — their warmth, friendliness and attention to detail truly go above and beyond. The food was absolutely fabulous — beautifully prepared, delicious, and thoughtfully presented, making each meal feel like a real treat. The lodge itself is perfectly located, offering peace, comfort and stunning surroundings that make it incredibly hard to leave. We honestly wish we could have stayed longer. If you’re planning a visit, do yourself a favour and stay at least two nights — one simply isn’t enough to soak in the atmosphere, hospitality and magic of this special place. A truly memorable stay — we can’t wait to return"
