Quail Lodge

Quail Lodge is found in a rural spot on the airport side of Auckland city centre, close to Auckland’s peaceful Botanic Gardens, ideal for easing off the jetlag. It is perfectly placed as a first or last stop on your New Zealand holiday, as well as a great point to break the journey for those travelling from the scenic Bay of Islands to Rotorua.

Hosts Samantha and Hamish love to share their local knowledge, welcoming first time visitors as old friends, and with Samantha being a Coeliac herself, gluten free meals are not a problem!

There are plenty of spots to relax on the grounds, from your private deck with views of the surrounding area, to the sun loungers by the infinity pool, and with only two guest rooms, privacy is guaranteed.

• The opportunity to go gliding with the local Gliding Club.
• Chatting with Hamish about the America’s Cup, and the best sailing spots in the area.
• Wandering the charming garden with its abundance of fruit trees.
