We had a fabulous stay. We had stayed at the property several years ago and we weren't disappointed on our second trip. It was an ideal base for us to visit relatives in the area.

Good area, close to Petone town within walking distance. Easy access via car to the cake tin and the ferry’s. Had everything we needed. Free Street parking right outside the front door. I would stay again.
Wonderful stay. Really comfortable residence. Loved the character of the home. Appreciated the abundance of supplies. Will certainly stay again. Thank you so much for being such great hosts.
This is a former lodge converted into a home large space with interior decorations depicting its heritage. The interior is of high quality and a recently renovated bathroom and (well appointed ) kitchen. The main street (Jackson) is a short walk away.

Musty smell on entering property, but Bathroom and Kitchen facilities clean and tidy. Beds comfyWithin walking distance to beach/ seafront and places to eat
The Orange Lodge is a unique space, so welcoming and comfortable. It is very well equipped and the hosts have provided detailed information to make for an enjoyable stay.There is lots of interesting memorabilia relating to the property's former life as a Masonic lodge.
The Orange Lodge was perfect. Everything one could ask for. Location to beaches, shopping, tourist sights we wanted to visit. Nice and relaxing. 5 stars.
No one staying here can forget this historic old place combining all its golden kauri fittings with an efficient, modern well equipped bathroom and kitchen. We would certainly stay here again.

Thanks for your great feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks again and best wishes.
Good location, quiet and well equipped. Bathroom was snug with heated towel rack and underfloor heating.As other guests have reported there is a musty smell that seems to linger. It’s difficult to allow fresh air to circulate with the design of the windows.

Thank you for your great feedback. You are welcome back anytime. Thanks again and best wishes.
This property is gorgeous and well appointed with everything we needed. We stayed over Christmas and the owners even put up a Christmas tree for us. The location is perfect for driving to Wellington and the Hutt valley.
The kitchen was fully equipped and the instructions on how to use things was thorough. I really appreciated the owners making time to assist with the issue we had with the gas tank. Lots to do in Petone and a quick train ride into Wellington for a change of pace. Go Phoenix!
