TARLTON'S LODGE, Paihia
About the Hotel
Tarlton'S Lodge - An adults-only hillside bed and breakfast with panoramic ocean views, private hot tubs on terraces, and personalized hosting
Perched on a hill overlooking Paihia and the Bay of Islands, Tarlton'S Lodge is a 4-star adults-only bed and breakfast with a 9.5/10 Booking.com rating. Each guest room at Tarlton'S Lodge, available as a King or Twin Room, has a private terrace with an ocean view, a private hot tub, air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a flat-screen TV. The lodge's spa and wellness centre, sun terrace, garden, and outdoor furniture are available to guests. Complimentary extras include fruit, home-baked cookies, chocolates, coffee pods, and drinks such as wine and soft drinks, restocked daily. Each room is accessed by a private stairway, and the layout keeps the terraces secluded despite the open outlook. Hosts Peter and Katalina provide daily housekeeping, private check-in/check-out, and local recommendations for restaurants and activities. Paihia Beach is a 12-minute walk down a steep hill, and town restaurants and the ferry to Russell are a 2-3 minute drive or 15-minute walk. Waitangi Treaty Grounds is nearby, while Bay of Islands Airport is 23 km away. Free high-speed Wi-Fi, private parking, luggage storage, and a tour desk complete the amenities at Tarlton'S Lodge.
