Lupton Lodge - Whangarei

The hotel has been beautifully restored with a nice design. the room is airy and brand-new, equipped with a fridge and tea. the restaurant serves savoury food, and the delicious breakfast includes cooked dishes and three different options. the setting is peaceful and very close to the charming Whangarei Falls, restaurants, pubs, and an attractive garden area.

Beautiful building and rooms with very comfortable bed.

The stuff are helpful as well as the host.

The rooms here are bright and modern, featuring charming claw foot baths, stylish classic furniture, and a lovely veranda.

A good old hotel, beautiful views, nice location in the city centre. Excellent service, really helpful staff during stay. Location very close to local shops and Whangarei and the coast and the beaches and walks. Outstanding experience there...

Our room was comfortable well appointed and spacious with a large ensuite which had both a bath and shower cubicle. A games room with pooltable was available to use at any time and an internet computer was available and FOC. Wi fi internet was available FOC in bedrooms and throughout the the building. Very comfortable and friendly. The breakfast was the best we had had in New Zealand.

I simply adored the charming decor of the lodge. The antique furniture and floral wallpapers reminded me of my grandmother's house. It felt like stepping back in time, in the most delightful way. The general areas were also very accessible for us seniors, with wide hallways and sturdy handrails to assist us as we walked around. It was so comforting to know that the children working there understood our needs and made sure we felt safe and comfortable.

I do wish there had been a lift or an elevator available. Climbing stairs can be quite a challenge for us older folks, especially if we have any mobility issues.

The location was beautiful as was the lodge, rooms well appointed. The service was excellent, friendly and professional. Dinner and breakfast were superb.

Friendliness, service, advises, cleanliness, facilities

We had a wonderful stay at Lupton Lodge. the room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. the kitchen area and bathroom were well-equipped, and the outdoor dining area with a grill was a nice touch. the host was friendly and accommodating, providing recommendations for vegetarian food nearby. the breakfast was delicious and even catered to my husband's allergies. a great experience.

No negatives from this place. 👍.

We received a warm welcome from Andy who was always available. The Lodge is a fine house standing in beautiful grounds.

The host, Andy, is amazing. When we asked about day trips (hiking, running, swimming) he was quick to offer assistance. He marked places on maps for us & gave us detailed driving instructions. Places to shop were also marked. Breakfast was made to order and was substantial. The lodge is small (3 rooms) and allows for individual service. Andy offered to wash/dry our clothing before we left so we didn't have to travel with dirty clothing. We just wish our stay was longer!

Great location! the breakfast here is amazing - love that they offer yogurt and three different choices to pick from. 🌞

The whole experience was wonderful - fabulous home and surroundings, rooms so clean and immaculate and the food and service was second to none, we are so impressed we are telling our friends and we will be back to stay.

There was nothing we didn't like....

A gorgeous home beautifully restored. We had a fabulous stay, everything comfortable and the host very friendly. A fabulous garden - on a better day I would love to have wandered around it. Thank you for an enjoyable stay. I would happily recommend your place.

If we were to suggest one thing, Sky Sport for the All Black game. For those of us that have Sky, Prime was very frustrating. My husband persevered but I didn't.
