This was a great place to stay, friendly staff, who accommodated our very late arrival. Our room was wonderful! Comfy bed and great shower.

If you need to stay in the upper hutt area then this place is a must, great value for money, extremely friendly staff and management, super secure parking, restaurant and a safe pub right next door and if you dont have a car the trentham train station is literally just across the road. I highly recommend the Totara Lodge and i look forward to staying again soon.
