Helen and Colin are a lovely couple who make you feel welcome in their beautiful home. Enjoyed the spa, the comfortable bed, quiet location, great water pressure in the shower, complimentary home made baking, snacks and more. The breakfast was delicious, especially loved the waffles with fried banana, bacon, maple syrup and option of yoghurt or ice cream. Helen makes another amazing cooked breakfast as well with beautifully poached eggs, bacon, grilled tomatoes, spinach and mushrooms yumm and even a vegetarian option.

From the personalized welcome to the friendly chats Helens attention to detail was exceptional. The house is lovely and beautifully presented for the Christmas season. Breakfast was top notch, and the nibbles and extras provided in the room were lovely to enjoy after a long day. Access to the hot-tub & the fluffy bathrobe brought it to the next level! Delighted to have found this gem in Pukekoe and I will be returning.

Although you are in Helen and Colin"s home, you are made very welcome and then provided with private lounge, bathroom and bedroom area ( much more space than if staying in a motel room). It's very peaceful and then breakfast was a feast. If you dont have a man's appetite I would suggest asking for a half portion!

Everything is provided for in a beautiful, ultra clean home - I can't fault any of it.

Amazing room that had all the trimmings, sky TV, min fridge with fizzy, water and milk. Snacks and little wine bottles. A beautiful private garden/patio area which allowed private access to the room. Amazing ensuite. The host was so lovely, Helen made us a beautiful breakfast with a set up fit for a queen. Overall soo Amazing.

This B&B is the best we have ever stayed in. Helen has a beautiful house and she has thought of everything you could ever need: wines, hand made biscuits, snacks, lemonade, slippers, dressing gowns, spare towels, blankets, pillows… All in stunning Italianate house,beautifully decorated with the most supremely comfortable bed. 3 min drive from town, super quiet at night. oh and the breakfast… delicious! we will be back. Helen you should be so proud of what you have achieved and what you do. thanks you for organising the dinner reservations and the advice on things to do. You are a gem!!! Grazie😀😀😀😀😀

Breakfast during our stay was exceptional, beautifully presented, and perfectly prepared by the owner, Helen, who was incredibly accommodating. At Villa Te Soro, it showcased the best of what this place has to offer, and I highly recommend this place enough for anyone looking to indulge in cozy, lovely views.

Helen, the owner of this lovely house, was very welcoming and hospitable. The bed and rooms were stylishly and thoughtfully fitted out and extremely comfortable, we even had our own little terrace, freshly made Anzac cookies (for my partner) and a box of GF cookies for me! Breakfast was outstanding and my gluten-free requirements (as a coeliac) were met in every way. I highly recommend this B and B and it makes a great stop only 30 minutes from the airport at Auckland to recover from jet lag. We would have liked to have stayed longer…

Can’t think of anything!

The decorations are amazing. There are many lovely corners in the house. It is like visiting a gallery. Many interesting magazines in the room. I read in the guest book that Helen owns a interior design business, that explains why the room is designed with so many lovely details and fine furnitures. The breakfast is also perfect. staying here is like my ideal lifestyle. Thank you to Helen for the snacks and bubbles! It is the last day of our honeymoon and best stay!

My husband and I were very impressed with this extremely well appointed and beautifully decorated traditional B&B. Helen has thought of everything and we had a very luxurious ensuite room, with beautiful linen, fluffy white towels, extremely comfortable King sized bed, a cupboard with drinks ( wine) chocolate brownies, small private terrace and a lovely fully cooked breakfast to enjoy the next day. It was the perfect stop over from Bay of Islands to Coromandel Peninsula. I would highly recommend this B&B.

Breakfast was excellent. Snacks and drinks in the room and in the common area were very nice. I think we received an upgrade as we were the only ones renting at the time. The room was large and the bathroom was excellent. The hostess was very friendly and provided tips on souvenirs.

No complaints.
