My partner and I enjoyed this quiet and romantic spot. The views were spectacular and could be seen right from your room! The shower was great. The hosts warm and welcoming. The private hot tub though is really what puts this place over the top. Highly recommend!

Pete and his wife are gracious hosts and an interesting couple; we thoroughly enjoyed our stay (particularly the priceless view of the Bay of Islands from the hot tub!) and simply cannot recommend Tarlton’s Lodge highly enough. Book it if you can.

Beware of driveway and price. Not a hotel..bnb

Upon arrival we were surprised by 4 things… three very bad and one very good. 1) the place is hard to find. 2) When you do find it the driveway is not only in terrible shape but there is a massive dip which caused our undercarriage of car to massively scrape and then the rear of car had massive drop banging rear fender… which later detatched on ride home… The proprietor witnessed this and stated that has happened before and what you need to do is come in not straight on but at a sharp angle and cut the wheel hard… there was no signage to this effect and damage already done… the driveway is not suitable for a business like this and had limited parking … if also felt like a bed and breakfast vs a hotel … the price was nearly $700 per night. on the positive side the owner is incredibly friendly, wants guests to have a good stay and has an impressive background. Peter just needs to sort out the driveway, signage, and lower his pricing… along with his advertising to reflect this is more a b and b where you can hear the other guests and walk thru a home to get to the room…. vs a proper hotel.

This property is a room in a converted basement The steep stairs going down to the room would not be good for those with mobility issues. The foliage has not been trimmed and so the view is obstructed. There is smoking allowed on the property and the smoking drifted into our room and triggered my husband’s asthma. We felt this room was overpriced and the website is misleading when it is called a “lodge.”

The host and hostess were great. It is important for guests to know these rooms are converted basement or lower floor rooms of a home. We felt the listing was misleading when it was called a “lodge.“ The bathroom lacked a few amenities as in enough shampoo and conditioner for two people and it would’ve been nice to have lotions provided. We would have appreciated an iron. An issue for us was cigarette smoking that was allowed on the property. My husband’s asthma was triggered from the cigarette smoking that was allowed in the front of the house which drifted into our room and caused us a problem. There are narrow stairs that lead down to the room and would be difficult for some who may have mobility issues. There is a trip hazard in the bathroom which the host pointed out to us. That needs to be remedied.
