Allegra House

Allegra House, our spacious, modern home with an apartment and 3 bed and breakfast rooms located just up the hill from central Paihia. All rooms have spectacular views out across the bay. The house has gardens, balconies and native bush for guests to enjoy during their time in this peaceful but convenient location - less than 10 minutes walk down to restaurants, cafes and boat departures and maybe just a bit longer for the walk uphill on the bush track. Brita and Heinz have lived in the area for well over 25 years and love to help you enjoy your time here. French and German spoken. Breakfast included in B & B rooms and an optional extra in the apartment.

The place to stay in the Bay of Islands!

Fabulous couples anniversary stay

Reviewed By littlepurplekiwi

Thanks so much Peter and Katalina for a fabulous stay at Tarltons Lodge over looking the sunny Bay of Islands. We had a fantastic time staying in our King bed suite with a private alfresco dining area and private spa. We loved how well appointed the room was and the complimentary drinks and cookies. The room is very well dressed and very clean. We were even able to have a private masseuse come to our room for a couple massage whom we highly recommend and Peter and Katalina can give you her details. The private spa and views from the alfresco dining area are divine. And getting up to watch the sunrise and have an early morning spa is well worth it! Our stay was worth every dollar! Peter and Katalina offer the best kept secret for a luxury stay in Paihia.

Fantastic Room with a View

Reviewed By Lynne M

We stayed 3 nights here and WOW whats a fabulous room and view! The room was very spacious, even the bathroom was large with two sinks, and plenty of spaces to put your things. It was so well equipped, there was nothing they did not provide, they have thought of every scenario and provided what you would need. I loved that there was two luggage racks so you didn’t have bags on the chairs. Very comfortable chairs, dining table and outdoor seating, also with the addition of two comfy loungers. There was a very large comfy bed, and you could pull the curtains in the morning and look at the beautiful view. The view was stunning from the deck and we spent many hours sipping wine and taking in the view. There was also a laundry you could use next to our unit. The location was excellent, right in Russell town, there was an uphill walk up the short drive, and like 2 minutes walk and you were in town. Its such a beautiful place Russell on a nice day. The hosts lived upstairs and were very friendly and helpful!

Absolutely Recommend

Reviewed By RoamingGirlxx

Absolutely fabulous, this charming villa provides everything you can possibly need, beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, huge comfy bed, and a shower that just melted away all of life's stress, and on a cold night it was cosy and warm. Sue, our hostess couldn't have been more lovely, she obviously cares a great deal for her guests enjoyment and is incredibly good at what she does. The breakfast was a delight, as it was cold we were welcomed into her house and served beautiful homemade bread and preserves, cereal, fresh fruit and Yoghurt. We were thrilled with every aspect of our stay and would definitely recommend.

We stayed in Room 3 - a 1 bedroom suite for a 2 night stay. It was very spacious, and had lots of special touches. Really comfy bed and couch, high ceilings with ceiling fan. There was outside seating at both ends of the rooms - so morning and evening sun. A great place to stay.

We got lots of info about the area and borrowed their bikes to ride the lovely cycle track in opua. We also used the tinny to catch some fish right on our doorstep. The (optional) breakfast was delicious. The best place to stay in the bay of islands!!
