We were very very last minute for booking a trip to the Taranaki region, and thus we were left with very few choices in accommodation. Now we normally look for modest but tidy, while the lodge might have been a little more than our usual budget the charm and character were enough to loosen our purse strings. And we were ever so delighted that we did, we were struck by the passion that Linda has clearly poured into this beautiful house right from pulling into the driveway. She met us fairly late and yet still offered to make us a pot of chamomile tea after our long day's travels. The room we stayed in was absolutely charming, such detail to preserved the feel of the original house while still maintaining the luxuries of a modern home. We had no trouble sleeping in the serene silence of the outskirts of Hawera and when we awoke Linda was all to happy to cook us a magnificent breakfast, it was a hearty meal for a great days adventure. Overall I loved our stay here, Linda is both a fantastic host, and keeps a fantastic place to stay and I would recommend her Lodge through and through. Thank you Linda for an amazing weekend. ##### Izabel Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful and Linda is a perfect hostess ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7D62B286DBD358FB58E5E10BFB3A4C8C5AC61DFD1740626841948.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carina Feb 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Old time charm with modern convenience.

Old country charm and wonderful staff (Linda). Quaint and homey. ##### Louis Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tairoa Lodge was a delight. Loved the ambience of the building and the gardens; very comfortable room; and Linda provided a delicious evening meal at short notice so I did not need to go out again to eat after arriving just on dark. Breakfast was also excellent. I will definitely stay again next time I am visiting Hawera. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d184-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Rex Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Rex-Hotel.h2752090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Seattle-Hotels.d178307.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in San Diego County](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-San-Diego-County-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d178304-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Traverse City](https://www.expedia.ca/Traverse-City-Hotels.d3577.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Wolfjaw Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Alpine-Country-Inn-And-Suites.h10387593.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Harbor-Court-Hotel.h384.Hotel-Information) > > [City Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-City-Club-Hotel.h807855.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal](https://www.expedia.ca/Tsawwassen-Ferry-Terminal-Hotels.0-l6127465-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Budweiser Stage](https://www.expedia.ca/Budweiser-Stage-Hotels.0-l6151394-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syd/yyz/sydney-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Yukon (YDA) to Tuktoyaktuk (YUB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yda/yub/dawson-city-to-tuktoyaktuk) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Niagara-on-the-Lake (YCM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ycm/edmonton-to-st-catharines) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Marrakech (RAK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/rak/edmonton-to-marrakech) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Niederanven (LUX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lux/toronto-to-luxembourg) > > [Flights from Terrace (YXT) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxt/yvr/terrace-to-vancouver) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Kitchener](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Kitchener.d10579.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Ireland](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/golf-vacations/84/Ireland) > > [Phillips Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Phillips-Square-Downtown-Montreal.d6241561.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Disney Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Disney.d3000453867.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic) > > [Chilliwack River Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-River-Provincial-Park-British-Columbia.d6309669.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals > [The Pas Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Pas-Vacation-Rentals.d4045.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
