The Lodge
The Tamara Lodge is a spacious Edwardian villa built in 1904 as a large private home. It has been used in a variety of ways over time including a boarding house, private hotel and 30 years as a maternity home called Cairnbrae. In 1993, it became the Tamara Backpackers Lodge and has evolved to be a place to return to.
