We stayed here in May when the outside temperature was minus 5 some nights, the log fires in the evening were great. The room too was warm and comfortable and we got wonderful attention from Margie and Ned.They remembered the little thingslike making a special phone call for us tha tmake you feel welcome and cared for. Highly recommended. More

Amazing views, bubbling spa, roaring fire, snuggly beds (in gorgeously decorated rooms), hearty breakfasts (fresh eggs courtesy of the Bearsden chooks), warm, welcoming hosts and Bruno to pat - we wished we could stay longer! Bearsden is luxuriously tranquil within stunning surroundings (snow-capped mountain views in front and behind...). One of the best B & B's we have stayed in... More

We enjoyed our stay in the Bearsden B&B very much. Margie and Ned did everything to make this a great stay for us. We staid four nights at Bearsden and enjoyed every day of it. Both rooms offered are great. We stayed at the Premiere Room which is very comfortable, quite and clean. Nice bathroom, good bed and a very... More

I am an avid photographer and much of the reason I travel is to both see the world and photograph it. I booked this B&B at the last minute based on the great reviews on TripAdvisor having thought most of my trip would occur in the North Island. This property is owned by a delightful couple, Margie and Ned, both... More

Even having read all the reviews, this place wildly surpassed my expectations. Bearsden is in a beautiful, serene location, with back-porch views onto the most incredible hill views, and the rooms are comfortable and neat. There's a hot tub where nights can be spent relaxing and looking at the stars, and there are trails nearby for morning or evening walks.... More

The main reason I am writing this review is that when I read reviews, I look for a theme that gets repeated by vacationers over time. Thus, when you read about the hospitality of the hosts, the beauty of the location, the comfort of the bed and quality of the linens, the unique and tasteful decor, the plethora of amenities,...

As Kiwis it is great to know that places like Bearsden exist in our own country not only for us to enjoy but perhaps more importantly to give overseas visitors a fantastic New Zealand experience. Margie and Ned were very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about the beautiful area in which they live. The bedroom and living area were both comfortable... More

My husband and I spent new years eve and 2 additional nights at this beautiful property. It was the perfect place to end a day full of activity, with amazing views and extremely comfortable living areas.
