This is the most fabulous B&B! Arcadia Lodge is a beautiful house with gorgeous views. It is very tastefully decorated and it was lovely to have the use of a living area with interesting books and music to relax in after our evenings out. Our bedroom was extremely comfortable. David and Brad are not only welcoming, friendly and helpful but... More

We spent 3 weeks in New Zealand on both the North and South Islands and this was our favorite B&B. David and Brad were great hosts and their attention to detail was outstanding. We stayed in the least expensive room ([private bath across the hall) and thought it was wonderful - great view of the Bay. We experienced wonderful, creative... More

We had one night here on short notice and Brad and David were very welcoming and understanding of our situation. The bed in our room was super comfortable, the breakfast superb. The lodge is very comfortable and beautifully appointed, the lounge is a great place to relax. Highly recommended.

"Bliss" is all I can say. The Lodge is charming, immaculate, comfortable, hospitable, and almost impossible to leave when the time comes.

There was a mix up with bookings, someone else had been booked into our room, well we were both called John . They gave us tea and biscuits on the deck while they quickly sorted things, we ended up in a more expensive room at no extra cost. Our room and the guests lounge were tastefully furnished to a high... More

We spend 3 nights at Arcadia Lodge recently and thought it was beautiful. David and Brad were wonderful, very professional and always attentive. The room although quite small was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The guest facilities were fantastic with a lovely guest lounge and deck overlooking the bay where we enjoyed a beautifully prepared breakfast each morning.... More

Our room 'Tautora' was very quaint and very private, we had our own balcony which overlooked the bay below, simply beautiful!. Breakfast was interesting, the menu varied each morning with a twist on the normal breakfast, this made... More
