1.0 / 5.0
Upon arrival we were surprised by 4 things… three very bad and one very good.
1) the place is hard to find.
2) When you do find it the driveway is not only in terrible shape but there is a massive dip which caused our undercarriage of car to massively scrape and then the rear of car had massive drop banging rear fender… which later detatched on ride home…
The proprietor witnessed this and stated that has happened before and what you need to do is come in not straight on but at a sharp angle and cut the wheel hard… there was no signage to this effect and damage already done… the driveway is not suitable for a business like this and had limited parking … if also felt like a bed and breakfast vs a hotel … the price was nearly $700 per night.
on the positive side the owner is incredibly friendly, wants guests to have a good stay and has an impressive background.
Peter just needs to sort out the driveway, signage, and lower his pricing… along with his advertising to reflect this is more a b and b where you can hear the other guests and walk thru a home to get to the room…. vs a proper hotel.

This property is a room in a converted basement The steep stairs going down to the room would not be good for those with mobility issues. The foliage has not been trimmed and so the view is obstructed. There is smoking allowed on the property and the smoking drifted into our room and triggered my husband’s asthma.
We felt this room was overpriced and the website is misleading when it is called a “lodge.”

The host and hostess were great. It is important for guests to know these rooms are converted basement or lower floor rooms of a home. We felt the listing was misleading when it was called a “lodge.“
The bathroom lacked a few amenities as in enough shampoo and conditioner for two people and it would’ve been nice to have lotions provided.
We would have appreciated an iron.
An issue for us was cigarette smoking that was allowed on the property. My husband’s asthma was triggered from the cigarette smoking that was allowed in the front of the house which drifted into our room and caused us a problem.
There are narrow stairs that lead down to the room and would be difficult for some who may have mobility issues.
There is a trip hazard in the bathroom which the host pointed out to us. That needs to be remedied.

Very difficult to say anything that hasn't already been said. The place is amazing, the view is amazing and Peter and Katarina are fabulous hosts who made us feel so welcome.

Great stay. Owners are lovely, property immaculate and really private. Very close to Paihia township, I would by far prefer to stay here than at one of the many motels/hotels in Paihia.

Tarlton’s Lodge is the ideal prescription for stress management. From the tranquil water views towards Russell, the quiet interrupted only by birdsong, to the comfort of a well appointed room complete with private spa pool on the deck, the setting is just so relaxing. Add in the generosity and friendliness of the hosts and a fresh, bountiful breakfast served on your balcony every morning...it’s the perfect package.If you want to eat out, be sure to take the ferry to Russell, a 10-15 min walk from the Lodge. Compared to what is on offer at Paihia, our experience was that the fare in Russell was just so much better...try The Gables, The Duke of Marlborough, Hone’s Kitchen, you won’t be disappointed.

We had a lovely stay with Peter and Katalina. The room was large with a comfy bed. We were pleased that there were 2 arm chairs as so many hotels only have one chair! The outdoor spa tub was heaven after a long day playing tourist. The breakfast on our patio was a great way to start the day especially Katalina's omelette! Lastly the view - WOW just beautiful! Thank you Peter and Katalina for all of the information from a locals viewpoint and for making us feel special. Cheers, John and Jules from Melbourne.

Owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Our room had an amazing view of the water. Its a short (15 minute) walk to town (but is uphill all the way back). The food was great. The room was well equipped. We only used the a/v system for displaying camera images on the TV so I cant really comment further on that. The double sliding glass door allowed us to open the room to the covered porch and enjoy the breeze and sound of the water. The private hot tub was also great!

Friendly and very helpful hosts. We had a great time, especially the spa at the end of the day to wind down. Breakfast just right outside our room overlooking the bay just topped our trip. Look forward to staying here again next time we up there again.

2.5 / 5.0
hidden up a small road this is a beautiful bed and breakfast run by two happy , knowledgeable and extremely helpful people, it is a 1 minute drive from bustling Pathia The views from each of the 3 rooms are stunning , lying in bed you can watch the passing fishing boats .Each room has a hot tub to relax and take in the sun sets at the end of the day and to avoid the crowds in town. Breakfast is set up on your veranda, cooked to order and served when you are ready. This is a new looking property and wonderfully run by Tash and Dan.

This was to be our indulgence and it did not disappoint. Our room was well appointed, the bathroom modern, the views were devine. We decompressed each night in the hot tub overlooking the Bay of Islands. The hosts are friendly with helpful suggestions for day trips. Exquisite breakfasts were served on the room's patio with the same outstanding view.

Fabulous, I actually drove to bay of Islands to take a sailing adventure but it ended up being canceled, but it was totally was worth the trip just for the stay. Natasha and Dan are wonderful hosts very nice and fun to talk to, and Natasha makes the best breakfast in all of New Zealand!!!

2.5 / 5.0
I was little apprehensive to stay at a B&B initially, the idea of a shared communal space with strangers and staying in somebodies home really put me off, but, with alot of nagging from my wife I conceded to "not knock until you try it".
We booked through Expedia which was pretty seamless and easy and within 24 hours had received an email from Tash & Dan thanking us for booking and asking when we thought we would be arriving to ensure everything was setup for us, I was a little wowed right from there.
We arrived in Paihia 2 hours before check-in and we rang to see if there was a small chance we could (at the very least) drop our luggage off if we had to explore for an hour or two, Dan answered when we rang, and told me "hey not a problem at all we'll see you and Carmen soon Nick" all I'd said was "Hi we're due to check-in at 3 under ".
This is the second signal that we were staying with people that consider their guest experience paramount to their business, colour me impressed.
The room itself was very very clean, the decor wasn't weathered or old, breakfast was superb each morning with Tash going the extra mile to combine elements from the multiple options they offer in order to cater to my fussy wife.
The views are spectacular and I really can't stress enough how absolutely nothing was an issue for our lovely hosts.
If you're like me and you've never experienced a B&B before then stay with Dan & Natasha, it's private and spectacular value.
We'll be back

Lovely young couple who own the Lodge.
2.5 / 5.0
This B&B is run by a wonderful young couple, warm and friendly. We had a beautiful king room that opened onto a private balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It also had a hot tub. We had beautiful sunrises. Breakfast is included and served on your balcony. So personal. I had the French toast with bananas and blueberries. It was delicious. My husband is not usually a fan of B&Bs but he loved this experience. I just wished we could have stayed longer.
