A great place to stay.
Skylark Lodge is a fantastic place to stay. The owners have taken a huge amount of care in building their property and they have really made sure that everything a guest could want in a stay has been provided for. The view is amazing from the lodge and the hosts Karen and Darryl are lovely people who really go the extra mile to make your feel comfortable. We had an amazing stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful property with luxurious bed and bathroom. Views were incredible and Karen and Darryl were such lovely hosts. Quiet and peaceful location although well placed for exploring the Bay of Islands. I cannot rate this property enough. It was one of the best places I have stayed.

Gorgeous Getaway
This property is absolutely amazing. Beautiful house, amazing view, and the most wonderful hosts. We felt warmed and welcomed our entire stay. They’re also only a 30min drive to the bay of Island coast. You get tranquil surroundings in the morning and night while you’re at the house without a long drive to all the attractions in the area. If we’re ever lucky enough to come back to NZ and this area we will absolutely stay here again!

This was truely a boutique accommodation experience!
Awesome ever-changing panoramic views over the country-side from every room, hot tub under the stars, accomodating stone bath, daily breakfast, the list goes on...Although the accommodation is in view and close to the hosts' house, our hosts were very respectful of our privacy. It was perfect for our wedding anniversary. Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough - highlights of our stay included the spa (particularly under the night sky), incredible views, very active bird life and the beautiful stone bath. The hosts are so welcoming and have an incredible commitment to quality. This is a five star destination.
