We stayed here on April 25 and April 26, we stayed in room 2, which had the entrance through the house. Mike was a lovely host and only too helpful in settling in and on advice if needed. The room was like new with lovely furnishings and a great view. Would definitely stay again the cleanliness was top notch. Would... More

If you're trying to choose accommodation in the Bay of Islands & want something a little further away from the bustle & noise of the township - you need look no further than this one. A super quick drive & only 10-15 minute walk into the town of Paihia, but so completely serene & peaceful you don't even know there's... More

Paihia was the first destination on our March holiday. Tarlton's Lodge is superb Bed and Breakfast accommodation. Impeccably clean room; wonderfully comfortable bed (very important); shower that had enough power to give a massage!!! (also very important); sliding glass doors onto private balcony with our own "hot tub"; the most amazing views of the Bay; and Mike, a host who... More

Paihia is a very good starting point to explore the Bay of Islands and Mike's B&B is the perfect place to stay. You can't find a more spectacular view and having a bath in your personal hot tub on the terrace makes it even better. The breakfast is all that you can wish for and Mike's advice about things to...

We have an amazing view from our room, just had a lovely fresh breakfast served with a smile. Thoroughly recommend this place absolutely gorgeous! A light walk into town ( just to work off the lovely food ) into beautiful quaint Paihia. I believe the markets on today, so here we go!'

We loved our stay here! Mike is really a great host with a superb eye for fine taste. Loved our room with own private outdoor spa bath with spectacular views of Paihia. Totally recommend it. And we adored Pedro & Toby too. You will find out why!

Amazing Views, clean, private and with a spa.... couldn't ask for more...... It is a little out of the way and up a windy road but it was nice to be away from the hustle of the beach area. Mike was extremely helpful and we had a lovely breakfast on our patio the next morning.

I'd read on TripAdvisor that Tarlton's had the best view of the NYE fireworks in Paihia, and we were not disappointed! Upon arriving at the house, we already got a sense of the beautiful hilltop view across the Bay of Islands. Mike was a great host, helpful and friendly but never overbearing, and offered loads of great advice on things... More
