An amazing, beautiful house and gardens. A little gem in a peaceful setting. Our room was extremely comfortable with lots of delightful touches such as a jar of biscuits, several different teas to choose from and a fridge if we needed to keep anything chilled. Breakfast was lovely with home made banana loaf. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here, we think it is the nicest accommodation we have found on our visit to New Zealand.

There was nothing to dislike - it was all lovely.

A wonderful stay with very welcoming hosts. Clare offered us tea, cheese & crackers on our arrival and we relaxed in the sun, surrounded by the beautiful gardens. Breakfast was relaxed & informal around the kitchen table, a nice way to eat & chat with Sabin, who gave us good tips for our trip into the Catlins. Overall a very pleasant experience, wonderful facilities, not far from town but still giving the country feel. Loved it 🥰

Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay at Whiteacres. And what a treat it was. The gardens were so beautiful & it was rather pleasant having a wine in the outdoor area. The bedrooms were so elegantly furnished and had good quality bed linen. The breakfast, served in the kitchen, overlooked the garden & horse paddocks. The breakfast was excellent & appreciated. Thank you Claire & Sabin for allowing us to stay in your home.

Location, room, gardens, convenience to Invercargill, hosts, breakfast and their dog Vinnie. In a beautiful setting with thoroughbred horses, sheep and lots of things to do nearby. We felt very welcome and enjoyed the wonderful cottage setting for our room. Take time to visit Bluff and have some of the best oysters of your life, and we live in New England on the ocean!

Short stay...

We don't usually stay in B&B but were glad we stayed at Whiteacres. The property is on the outskirts of Invercargill and the grounds and gardens are lovely. Our hosts, Claire and Sabin, were very welcoming and helpful. The area is very quiet. Our room was a good size and very comfortable. Breakfast was great and held in the kitchen looking out onto the lovely garden and countryside.

A large, lovely house with something interesting to look at everywhere: plants, knickknacks, pictures, etc. Very quiet. Delicious homemade cookies and breakfast.

We didn't realise we'd be renting a room within a larger house. Since we are VERY Covid-careful, that made us a little nervous and not feeling like we could eat a takeaway dinner in our room was a bit of a pain.

The uniqueness of a semi-rural environment close to town. The rooms and facilities available to us were comfortably furnished and homely. We felt very at home. The garden was beautiful and it was so relaxing to sit outside and watch nature around d us.

There was nothing to dislike.

Clare could not have been a more gracious and helpful hostess. White Acres is a beautiful and serene respite, perfect for every kind of getaway, including after an unplanned hospital stay. The accommodations are most comfortable and the gardens are exceptionally lovely. We were most grateful for our host's care and generosity.

Very nice accomodation in a quiet spot just out of town. Warm and cosy, nice big comfy bed, wonderful accomodating hosts. Breakfast was lovely with homemade bread, butter and jam, good quality cereals, and hot drink selection. Welcome beer and evening hospitality were most appreciated! Many thanks Clare and Sabin.

Beautiful semi-rural location with wonderful gardens, horses and the lovely dog dog, Vinny. Our room was magnificently decorated with period furniture and art pieces. Fabulous newly renovated bathroom finished the accommodation. Clare and Sabin were so welcoming and it was like visiting old friends. Superb breakfast with home made bread,muffins and crab apple jelly.
