This is a wonderful, friendly, superbly sited Lodge with the genuine Kiwis enjoyment of entertaining their guests to wonderful facilities and surroundings, grand catering and very good bedroom suites with views over the forest to the Bay of Islands. Ideal and with tremendous hosts.It was 4 days well spent in great company.

My partner and I stayed for two nights at the Bay of Islands Lodge. We where very happy with the accommodation the room was very comfortable the only thing they need is fly screens on the windows but it seems all around New Zealand they don't seem to have them on there homes. The food was very nice and Peter... More

My husband and I enjoyed a very pleasant three nights at the Lodge, enjoying the company of guests from the US, UK and South Africa. When choosing small places such a this, we are choosing individuality, a more personal experience than a similarly-priced, more luxurious suite at a conventional hotel, and we were not disappointed. Our room was pleasant and... More

This review isn't easy to write because the Lodge got so many high ratings - on which I personally can't agree. I'm more with the previous review of Patti from CA, that this is a quite simple lodge which is highly overpriced. We've stayed at many 'luxury B&B, in NZ, OZ, South Africa, so we should have some experience what... More

We stayed with Peter for four nights in mid-December 2011 and although this is listed as a 'Luxury Lodge,' we found this to be simply a B&B. Other than a small pool, it had no ammenities that you would find at a 'luxury lodge.' The rooms were small, with very small patios off each room. The patios were very close... More

The Bay of Islands Lodge was a very comfortable and homey place blessed with a wonderful view. Glennis and Peter were extremely professional and welcoming hosts but in no way obtrusive. Having dinner or breakfast in the open concept kitchen and dining/living area was truly relaxing and one felt instantly at home. Peter is an excellent cook and other than... More

We stayed 2 nigths . We were the only guests but that was great. Peter cooked us a lovely dinner and chatted to us but didn't intrude. We had everything we wanted. The cooked breakfast was delicious as was the dinner on the second night. The views are spectacular and the accommodation first rate. it's not cheap but it's very... More

Our three nights here was the best stay in the whole of our 5 week trip in NZ. We could not fault a thing, Peter and Glennis are consumate hosts, they are friendly, warm, hospitable and Peters food is to die for, we shall long remember the wonderful meals eaten around the table with other guests and the generous quantities...

Having read some negative views on TA I was wondering whether our first NZ lodge experience would live up to our hopeful expectations. Well, it did (in a big way) and I would recommend the lodge to all. We found Peter & Glennis to be just great! As has been said on other reviews, Peter's cooking is fantastic and Glennis... More
