What a Great Find!

Deluxe-King-Size-Room

Lupton Lodge is everything others have reported. An excellent website, efficient booking process, warm and personal welcome from on arrival, very comfortable, well-appointed rooms, attractive and peaceful location, delightful swimming pool and delicious food, prepared by the owner, Andy, who is also an accomplished chef ….. there is nothing not to like. If visiting Whangarei [...]

Quality Accommodation and Service

Deluxe-King-Size-Room

We stayed for three nights using Whangarei as a base for a fast paced tour of Northland – no regrets at all although you do need to enjoy driving. Andy’s welcome was warm; he kindly served us dinner for our arrival – the experience was enhanced by us eating outside on the veranda. The Red [...]

Lovely Place to Stay

Husband and I stayed for just 1 night but would have been happy to stay longer. Lovely welcome, beautiful surroundings & great room. The house is obviously loved and very well restored. Beautiful garden & orchard to explore amidst very tranquil surroundings. Every comfort thought of for the weary traveller. Can highly recommend a stay [...]

Great Little Lodge!!!!

My wife and I stayed here for two nights during our vacation in New Zealand. It is absolutely beautiful. The family running the lodge is very hospitable and accommodating. The room was nice and the ensuite bathroom was large and clean. The decor is nice and the property is beautiful. I highly recommend this place. [...]

Best Place to Stay in New Zealand!

Deluxe-King-Size-Room

We are traveling New Zealand for 3 weeks, staying in 9 different hotels. The Lupton Lodge will be very hard to top. We really wish it would have been possible to pick up the entire property and take it with us from city to city. The rooms were very nicely decorated, comfortable and quite quiet [...]

Quiet Haven for Business Travellers

Thanks Andy for a [...]

Pure Luxury

Deluxe-King-Size-Room

Thank you Andy & Karen for a wonderful weekend away from Auckland. The Red room is great – loved the Kauri floors and decor, the bed was so comfortable. Evening meal was great and we had the games room all to ourselves. The calf and spring lamb in the Paddock were sweet – we felt [...]

Good for a Quiet Business Stop

blue-room-revamped

After a non-stop day of business, it was nice to stay here. Andy was welcoming and professional. The room was spotlessly clean. Bed comfortable, good linen, quality furnishings. I pre-ordered dinner as I knew I would be tired and it was very tasty. Breakfast was good too. Highly recommended. Blue Room – October 2012 These [...]

A Well-deserved Number One for the Whangarei Area

queen-ensuite-room

Not much more to add to the other accolades, but this is well deserving of more than just a night’s stopover. It’s a mini resort with the billiard table, DVD and book collection, games room, pool, orchard and so on, and handy enough for those dive trips out of Tutukaka or for exploring Whangarei’s The [...]
