Lupton Lodge

Andy ist ein sehr sehr zuvorkommender Gastgeber. Sein Frühstück ist excellent!

Die Lage an der Straße. Nicht viel Verkehr aber er ist zu hören.

Lovely old house with such character and lovely orchard gardens. We had a great stay and enjoyed dinner each night that our host Andy offers. Thanks for the towels for our day use as well.

coffgee can be better, but as Italian in N.Z I am use to that

the coffee

Host Andy was welcoming, cooked us a great dinner even with last minute booking. Also a great breakfast. Interesting, expansive rooms. And a very friendly cat!

Die kleine Unterkunft liegt mitten auf dem Land, obwohl die Hauptstraße direkt daneben verläuft. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und befand sich im Dachgeschoss mit Fenstern, durch die man vom Bett aus die unzähligen Sterne sehen konnte (es gibt Verdunkelungsvorhänge, falls man das bevorzugt). Andy, der Besitzer, bietet auf Wunsch auch Abendessen an. Wir haben dort zu Abend gegessen und ich muss sagen, dass wir es nicht bereut haben: Andy ist ein hervorragender Koch und wir haben zu einem sehr guten Preis ausgezeichnet gegessen. Zum Frühstück gibt es ein kleines Buffet und ein warmes Gericht mit Eiern, die auf Wunsch frisch zubereitet werden.

Breakfast location, food and service was excellent!

Entry was via the bathroom/toilet, off the verandah. We noticed that there was a door from the bedroom leading onto the central hallway, this would have been a preferable entrance. The bedroom and furnishings were of good standard. However the lounge was a let down. It was furnished with items that should have been sent to an op shop. These included an old single bed, indifferently covered. The surrounding gardens were lovely, except there was a badly neglected pool which was looking very slimy.

Host was great. Amazing breakfast. Grounds and location very nice.

This is a historic house. The room we stayed in had an odd layout with the entrance leading you into the bathroom first. The bed was comfy but very squeaky. The walls are not soundproof, could hear everything going on in the room next to ours.

Rustig gelegen, zeer vriendelijke gastheer, kamers netjes

Our renovated room in a barn was really spacious and comfortable with a a lovely outlook. Andy our host was incredibly friendly and helpful with advice about the region.

Een woord uitstekend. Heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam, zeer verzorgde kamer en prima ontbijt

Our welcoming, friendly host, Andy, who went out of his way to help my husband who has mobility problems. The evening meals were excellent.

The property host was very friendly and helpful with our questions. The breakfast was excellent!

Nothing comes to mind. Wished we could have stayed longer.

The blend of modern facilities with the feeling of an old timey room

The bugs behind a curtain

The host was great, he cooked great food for dinner and breakfast. Big spacious room. Comfy bed.

No air con, needed a fan or something. Also the shower only gad shampoo and no body wash.

Andy was the perfect host. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent as was the accommodation. Lipton Lodge will be our go to whenever we are staying in the area.

I booked on behalf of our plumbers who were travelling for work up North. I received very great feedback about the stay. The location was perfect; the value was absolutely worth it with the breakfast included. We will definitely be staying again when we travel for work again!

We are familiar with the location, being former Whangarei residents. Distance from town is immaterial especially as our business was in the Kamo area. Comparison with 3 other locations we have stayed in previously, Lupton was exceptional

Andy the the owner and the host was a pleasure to converse with. Food was delicious And Andy went out of his way to create a perfect And very special stay.

Ligging, communicatie, ontvangst, rustig, ontbijt was zeer goed.

Niet echt proper. Heel het motel heeft dringend een grondige renovatie nodig. Aangeven zwembad is niet meer in gebruik. Neem zeker je eigen drank en snacks mee want er is zo goed als niets te krijgen.

Der Raum war gross und mit allem Nötigen ausgestattet. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Raum. Tolles Frühstück. Freundlicher Empfang, gute Tipps für Ausflüge.

Die Einfahrt ab der Hauptstrasse ist etwas versteckt.

Breakfast was very good. It's nice to stay at a place with character.

Very nice breakfast with personal recommendations from Andy about what to do

Nothing

Excellent service, making sure that all information was provided and very hospitable.

Really good breakfast and the place had a lot of atmosphere. Spacious and quiet peaceful location.

Located just out of Whangarei city a lovely BnB tucked away off the main road. Had a home cooked breakfast by the host which was a neat start to the day.

The Lodge was in a nice location, rooms were large, the beds were very comfortable and it had a great shower.it was nice to have breakfast included which we all enjoyed. It is the perfect location for a peaceful getaway. We would definitely stay again.

N/A

Lovely country property with terrace that looked over horse pasture! Awesome breakfast provided by Host who was pleasant and informative of what to do in area.

Quiet, rural, friendly

Nothing

It is conveniently located and has an interesting history. The neighbor has horses which was a pleasant surprise. Bathroom is large with good water pressure. The AC was appreciated.

Very comfortable country feel stay. Very reasonably priced and a big bonus was the delicious cooked breakfast in the morning. Andy was a great host! Highly Recommend this property

Nothing not to like

Spacious room with a great shower, friendly host & lovely breakfast. Great place to stay.

The breakfast service was first class bacon was cooked to perfection and their was lots of different choices. The room itself was perfect very comfortable and bed was excellent, bathroom and shower and kitchen facility's were also first class.

Peaceful, pretty house accommodation and surrounds, loved the decor and nice breakfasts. Adam was friendly and informative

Our friends in the upstairs studio found making tea and coffee awkward.

A very good breakfast with cereal, fruit and yoghurt then eggs and bacon on a muffin. It was my choice to stay out of Whangarei, and it was a very pretty country area with old stone walls and lush pastures.

I was perfectly happy with my accomodation, loved the decor and the comfortable bed,and the helpfulness of the owner

Quiet location a few minutes out of town in a parkland setting; spacious comfy room, outdoor area with barbecue table and chairs. We wish we could have stayed longer. Great breakfast, friendly host Andy.

Happy with everything, no complaints

Out of the way and quiet, very comfortable. Andy helped us out with a late arrival due to a flight delay and breakfast was fab.

The location was great, the room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was very good.

Tout. L'accueil, les conseils donnés par Michelle à notre arrivée. Nous avons très bien dormi, au calme. Et le matin super petit déjeuner cuisiné en direct par André. L'hôte de ce lieu chaleureux et pittoresque a qq kilomètres de wangahrei.

The breakfast was top notch; we also had dinner on the night of our arrival, which was superb. The wine list was well priced. The location easy to find and quiet with big gardens.

Location, staff, breakfast, and the room itself

Breakfast was probably the best of the entire trip we took - freshly prepared and amazing! room was very spacious, and we felt super comfortable. nice views onto the countryside

Beautiful relaxing location, large spacious well appointed room, Andy the host was so welcoming and helpful with both areas to visit and restaurants to eat at. Breakfast cooked by Andy was delicious and nutritious. We are,already looking forward to planning our return visit and bring friends to experience this gorgeous Lodge and the wonderful offerings,in Whangarei.

Room ( more like an apartment )was cosy and inviting. We loved the character of the building and the surrounding grounds. Andy was very welcoming and served a delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.

It is s really nice place to stay.

Modern amenities and comfort, in a beautifully presented historic property, a short drive from the city Breakfast was great, communication was great, will be on my return list for sure

Fabulous as usual! A+++

Beautiful old villa, very quiet and peaceful

A lovely setting in farmland only 10mins from the Whangarei Basin. The accommodation had historic charm. Warm, clean and comfortable. The host Andy was very welcoming and attentive. The breakfast menu was impressive and delicious.

There wasn’t anything to dislike.

The breakfast was amazing

We had a lovely nights stay at Lupton Lodge! Gorgeous setting of the villa in surrounding trees. A little hidden haven! It was a very comfortable place in which we had a really peaceful & good night's rest! Enjoyed our breakfast. Thank you!!Would definitely stop by again!😊

Lovely property located out of Whangarei and en route to Tutukaka. Rural and set back from the main road. Our room was large but cosy and warm with good facilities. Had a wonderful overnight winter’s stay. Lovely bathroom, good cooking facilities. A great stay in any season. Andy was a welcoming and friendly host. He served a delicious breakfast.

All was good!

Boutique, out of town. Cosy warm & it was just what we needed for an overnight stay. We booked the 2 bedroom barn apartment. Fantastic layout my sister in-law from Sydney had the top floor to herself. Hubby & I had the 2nd apartment downstairs. Beautiful gourmet breakfast included in the cost.

Generally as a sales rep you’re in there for minimal time but it’s time away from home and all that home offers. Andy and the lodge make that experience that much greater with a caring and professional attitude towards looking after their guests. Guttered I missed the breakfast but I’ll be back and better plan to enjoy the feast you’d no doubt put on team. Thank you for a great nights stay away from home.

Fantastic host, idyllic location and very comfortable in every respect. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable bed.

Room was spacious and clean, plenty of parking. Andy was very friendly and great comms. He is also a fantastic host, made me feel very welcome on arrival, helped with my bags, the breakfast was amazing! Thanks Andy, top service and you just do it naturally like it's its the norm, but I tell you it's not and its a first for me being treated so well. That's the point of difference, very professional. Beautiful peaceful place to stay. A+++ Thank you Andy 😊

Perfect!

Everything was great. Breakfast was amazing!

The breakfast was delicious, great advice from Andy on hikes, activities. Played pool in main building. Had the whole barn to ourselves, very spacious and comfortable

The tranquil setting . The amazing breakfast!!

Beautiful rooms, a nice blend of old and contemporary. good food and adapted for our needs

Great stay and very comfortable, nice rural setting, opens up into the paddocks.

Amazing

I stay regularly when in the area for work, always easy and comfortable and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again

Very quiet area. Well appointed room and facilities. Breakfast was amazing.

Definitely be back!

A must stay in Whangerai

We were very impressed with the owner who went over and above to meet our needs. There were 4 of us with ample room . The beds were very comfortable and our room super dark for sleeping. The cooked breakfast was also tasty and much appreciated.

Host very friendly

Reading /bedside lamps not good for reading ,very decorative but not very functional

Lupton Lodge is a short drive to Whangarei and all the shops and restaurants there, but is located in a quiet area. The grounds are large and give it a private feel. Our room was spacious. Head over to Lupton Lodge's website for tons of info to help you plan your stay. I found this very useful and the owner, Andy, is incredibly helpful and communication was great. Helped set up a diving trip. You can also have dinner at the Lodge (to be arranged beforehand) which we very much enjoyed.

food was great and great host

all good

This is our second time staying at Lupton Lodge. Very nice place with an amazing breakfast. Great atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Our stay was superb!! Andy was very friendly and helpful. The property aand our room were beautiful. We loved it here and would highly recommend it. We will stay again next time we are in the area. Loved petting the sweet horses

Breakfast was included Quiet location

Everything was very good. Lots of space and very comfortable. Well located. Very nice breakfast.

The owner Andy is so kind and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast was delicious and the room was absolutely marvelous. Could not have been a better place!

We stayed at 16 different bed and breakfast establishments during our month long trip around New Zealand. Lupton Lodge was by far the best and the breakfast was amazing.

It was all great!
