Everything was perfect! The room is beautifully decorated and spacious, the kitchen is well equipped and lovely breakfast options are provided (toast, croissants, fruit salad, ham, cheese, jams and more). The bathroom and overall place is spotless, the bed super comfortable and there are chairs on the veranda and garden to hang out outside in the sun. Jennie and Tony are amazing hosts, Jennie gave us tons of tips and took her time to „walk“ us through NZ and the Whangarei area with several maps. They are extremely friendly and forthcoming, the place feels more like a home than a guesthouse.

The shower head is not adjustable so a bit tricky for taller people to shower. But there is a seat in the shower that comes in handy

Beautiful home and surrounds. Our king room had a separate kitchen area where our breakfast items were available in a space where windows opened to the fresh cool mornings. The stay in this B&B was so pleasant - but it was especially outstanding in service. Knowing we were dependent on public transportation in a city where it is scarce, host Jennie offered to provide transport “home” from the airport & from dinners in the center as well as a bit of sightseeing (waterfall & canopy) that we would have otherwise missed. She’s a rock star host! Importantly, there are hiking paths nearby that lead to both downtown and into the hills. Gorgeous. We walked into town for dinners and visits to the fabulous Hundertwasser Arts Center and the fascinating clock installation nearby.

Other reviewers have complained about the traffic noise. It is a busy road in front, but it is quiet at night. As an early morning person, the noise was not a problem. Nor was it a problem for my mate, who slept in and never heard a thing.

Excellent basic delicious breakfast. Awesome coffee. Nice table and place settings to enjoy it. Jennie will even fix it “to go” for you if you have an early morning tour. Jennie and Tony are the perfect combination of friendly, helpful, accommodating while giving you privacy when desired. My father passed away while I was there and they were so generously compassionate, forgiving and understanding my lack of participation in their delightful story telling. I really can’t think of a better place to have been at that time. They also have gorgeous art and gardens to enjoy.

Everything was perfect!

A really great and beautiful B&B with all necessary stuff you might need. The hosts were super-kind, they also gave us very useful suggestions for activities. The breakfast contents were discussed before our arrival. The room had clear instructions for almost everything that we might use.

Whangarei is a small town - you should keep in mind that most of the places to have a dinner close pretty early, and you are at least half an hour away from the town center if you prefer to walk.

A lot of care had gone into insuring the guess has everything you need. Beautiful room with own ensuite. Hosts were very help, gave advice on lovely local resturant even phoned & reserved booking for us. We were able to walk to resturant, with take aways available in same shopping strip. Jennie & Tony were friendly hosts who made you feel very welcome. Good, secure parking on site.

Nothing

Our room had a small kitchen and choices of breakfast were available, including a fridge full of food. We were told to ask for replacements as needed. We liked the privacy and independence of this arrangement. Jennie and Tony were very welcoming and also informative about the area.

Jennie and Tony were kind and generous hosts. Jennie shared so many tips for where to go locally and across Northlands. Our room had a little kitchen and sitting area which made it better than most B and Bs. The shower was hot and strong. The bed was comfortable.

Muffled traffic noise from road was only downside to our stay. Otherwise, it was perfect. Definitely recommended

A fabulous stay in a beautifully appointed room Everything was provided to make our stay special Jennie & Tony are wonderful hosts who make sure their guests are comfortable.Jennie has a wealth of information about walks,places of interest etc

Traffic can be a little noisy but not a problem once peak traffic into town finished

I would just like to Thank Jennie for being a super host whilst we stayed in their boutique immaculate accommodation. Thank you for all the food and home made banana bread and scones which were to die for. We had a fab time William and Malcolm

The house is lovely. We were greeted warmly - and with homemade banana bread! Our room had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Our hosts were fantastic - lots of great ideas about things to do in the area.
