Kaipara Views Eco Lodge B&B is a bed and breakfast and eco lodge on Kaipara Hills Road at Glorit, in the Rodney district north-west of Auckland. It holds a perfect 5.0 rating from its two reviews.
What separates a bed and breakfast from a motel is the hosting: you stay in a home or small lodge, breakfast is usually cooked and included, and the best local knowledge — back roads, tides, where to eat — comes from the hosts. Eco lodges go a step further, typically running on rainwater tanks, solar power and careful waste practices, so expect thoughtful simplicity rather than hotel polish. In country like the Kaipara, mobile coverage and shops are thin on the ground, so it pays to book ahead, ask what to bring and treat the property itself as the destination.
For travellers after quiet, green hills and big skies, this hillside lodge in Glorit is the kind of place you build a trip around.
