Beware of driveway and price. Not a hotel..bnb
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.

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.

Idyllic setting for time out
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 were celebrating our 30th wedding annIversary and Tarltons Lodge met all our criteria and more. The room was homely and spotless. The view was stunning. It is away from the main road so you have the peace and quite, but only a 10 minute walk to the major areas. Our hosts Peter and Katalina were very friendly and helpful. My husband and I highly recommend Tarltons Lodge.

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.
