Morepork was our first B&B after leaving a 3+ week guided tour of parts of Australia and New Zealand. We decided to stay in New Zealand for another 3 weeks. The house, grounds, room were all great but it was Barbera and Paul that truely made the stay delightful. The house and room were immaculate, clean and welcoming. The breakfast... More

Morepork Lodge was our first B & B in NZ and our 4 night stay was perfect in every way. The large Riverside Room with huge ensuite and gigantic whirpool were spotlessly clean. The king bed was extremely comfortable. We loved the magnificent views of the rolling countryside dotted with sheep and cows. When taking a walk on the acreage,... More

After driving from Auckland to the Bay of Islands, we were glad to reach Morepork Lodge, our B&B for the next two nights. As soon as we drove in we felt welcome as there was a sign outside the door welcoming us all. Then the front door opened and Paul and Barbara welcomed us as if we were old friends.... More

We (couple plus 12 year old daughter) stayed one night at this delightful lodge in December 2012. We were in the Riverview room - very spacious, comfortable and a lovely big bathroom. Great as the accommodation was, however, what really stood out for me was the welcome we received from our hosts Paul and Barbara, who were clearly put on... More

Seven days in February and the highlight of our five week trip. We were very impressed with NZ B & Bs in general but this one took the biscuit. Paul and Barbara could not have been more welcoming. Every time we came in Paul was there to check all had gone well and to offer tea, coffee stickies etc. Given... More

Having stayed with Paul and Barbara five years ago we were so pleased to be back there again for a three night stay.We were welcomed as old friends and instantly felt at home. Morepork Lodge has developed so well since our previous visit and we were treated to a conducted tour of the grounds and introduced to all the animals... More

We booked for one night on our way back to Auckland, but stayed for two because we liked it so much. The rooms and surroundings are superb and Paul and Barbara are wonderful hosts. I highly recommend Morepork.

By the end of our four night stay here we felt like part of the family. A lovely setting, with comfortable rooms. Paul and Barbara think of everything and couldn't be more helpful. They cooked two wonderful dinners for us and the breakfasts were amazing, especially the pancakes with grilled banana. I highly recommend a visit to Paihia and a... More

Spent 6 nights in absolute comfort. Quiet location , fabulous hosts who provided 2 superb home cooked meals. The grounds are amazing and it's so nice to sit on ones own deck with a drink enjoying the view. Highly recommended ,Paul & Barbara can't do enough to make you feel at home and comfortable. Don't miss.
