We spent two nights at Lupton following a busy weekend in the Bay of Islands. It was everything we asked for, very well presented and laid out, clean and very comfortable. The decor was lovely, and the room we stayed in (The Red Room) was furnished to a high standard. The owner Andy was a fountain of local knowledge, and... More

We stayed one night on our way to Russell. Karen and Andy run an exceptional B & B. Karen welcomed us warmly and took the time to show us around the house. We had booked the Red Room and it was by far the largest room we have had in a B & B. The room had a separate room... More

Comfortable bed, great breakfast and helpful advice. My only regret is that I only stayed for one night.

We had a wonderful time at Lupton Lodge - perfect spoiling for a couple trying to get away from the kids - but still have to stick to a budget. There was golf, walks, Whangarei, Ngunguru and Tutukaka on your doorstep, a pool to soak in, beautiful rooms, wonderful food - had the Moroccan Lamb twice - a great oaky... More
