Heritage Charm, Modern Comfort

Built in the early 1900s, Arcadia has been thoughtfully restored, retaining its original character while offering all the comforts you’d expect. The ground-floor suites open onto private decks with views across the bay, while the upstairs rooms look out over the water or the surrounding gardens.

Named after the stars of the southern sky, the Matariki, Tautoru and Te Punga rooms each have their own private deck—ideal for a quiet morning coffee or watching the evening light fade across the bay.

Perfect for Families or Friends

Arcadia Cottage, just a few steps from the lodge, is a great option for families or couples travelling together. Enjoy the flexibility of self-catering or join your hosts at the lodge for a relaxed gourmet breakfast each morning.

Easy Mornings

Breakfast is a highlight at Arcadia, with fresh local ingredients served on the sunny deck overlooking the bay. It’s the perfect way to ease into the day before heading off to explore.

Explore Russell and Beyond

Take an easy stroll into Russell to browse local galleries, cafés and restaurants, catch the ferry to Paihia, spend the day out on the water, or explore the beautiful beaches and walking tracks nearby.

With its welcoming atmosphere, beautiful setting and genuine hospitality, Arcadia Lodge is the kind of place you’ll be glad you discovered.
