Captain's Lodge

As the owners of Bay of Plenty's renowned fishing and boating company "Blue Ocean Charters", we invite you to stay at the Captain's Lodge, our self contained accommodation in Welcome Bay, Tauranga.

Situated high on the ridge, we have unsurpassed views of the Pacific Ocean, Tauranga City, and Mount Maunganui, spectacular by both day and night.

The lodge, on one hectare, is set amongst extensive landscaped gardens. The two bedroom suite is in a separate wing of the main house, and is fully self-contained, offering space, peace and privacy.

This area offers excellent shopping, cafes, restaurants, nightlife, hot mineral pools, walks and fabulous white sandy beaches, all within ten minutes drive. We offer personalised sightseeing tours in our classic Jaguar.

If it is excitement you are looking for, join us on a deep-sea fishing trip, swim with dolphins, or experience an ecotrip to Mayor or White Islands.
