Sandy and Glen run this lodge and you could not ask for a nicer couple. They are truly gracious hosts. Our stay included breakfast and was delivered to us at the time requested on an outdoor seating area. The bay was right in front of us with fantastic views.

We loved Sandy and Glen at Whangaparaoa Lodge. They were incredibly helpful and kind. Our room was exactly as we had expected and we totally enjoyed our stay. The Lodge is small enough to feel cosy and it has great views as well as an excellent location. Having a good BBQ was a bonus for us. Thank you!

On a fairly busy road but the traffic noise did not disturb us. Plenty of space to park, walking distance to shops and restaurants and a sea view, we couldn’t ask for more

Lovely hosts and a fabulous room. I love it when the attention to detail in the room shows that the owners care. This was one of those times. A fantastic kitchenette and bathroom rounded it off superbly. Host were great at giving out tips and tricks of things to do and see. Juat across the road from the beach too. A shame to be leaving.

This was a lovely place to stay especially if you want to be closer to Auckland but have some beautiful outdoor space. The beach across the street was very nice and the Little Manly area had quaint dining. The Shakespeare Park at the end of the peninsula is definitely worth a visit for a walk. We stayed 2 nights to be able to get to the airport easily. I would recommend it for either end of a trip to the North of Auckland and the airport
