Tara Lodge

About Tara Lodge

Get off the main road north to Whangarei & the Bay of Islands and enjoy the beautiful eastern coastline with its white sandy beaches, blue water, peaceful villages & great cafes. Tara Lodge is the ultimate relaxation on this coast - quiet, picturesque, close to Mangawhai village amenities (cafes, restaurants, galleries, beaches, outdoor activities, walking tracks). It is the ideal place to stop - or to make it your destination holiday. Just a 90 minute drive from the bustling gateway of Auckland City, through lush rolling countryside. It has a beautiful English-style garden over 3 acres, and the hosts love using the huge variety of produce from their own and surrounding properties to feed you! The property has a full sized pool and a hot tub - great for summer or winter breaks. Sit under a tree sipping a drink in the summer, or cosy up in front of the fire reading in the winter - the choice is yours. Mangawhai is an ideal spot to stop outside of the touristy towns of Paihia & Russell - base yourself at Tara Lodge to see the north with a wonderful place to return to at night!
