We stayed 2 nights with Scott, Yvonne and family, Our rooms were wonderful. Yvonne was so helpful and even let us take over her laundry room, doing all our washing, and catching up big time. Great location to go whale watching etc. Good restaurants, with amazing food. Loved our stay. J & J Verdon, Oxford, England More

We had a two night stay with Scott and Yvonne (and their super children) in this really lovely B&B. They are such warm welcoming people and we had a lot of laughs with the other guests over breakfast. It was our second visit to New Zealand and on the previous occasion we drove through the middle of South Island and... More

Stayed for two nights and left feeling like we were losing long-time friends. Scott and Yvonne (kids, dog, chickens too) make perfect hosts in a really lovely home with a great view from their deck.

Rooms are clean, spacious and nicely appointed. French doors give direct access to a deck... More

Extremely gracious and accomplished young couple with two great kids run this B+B. Difficult to find, stay on Rte 1. Rooms are quite nice and very well furnished. Rooms have an outside entry point so main house is not disturbed. Outstanding b'fast. Very desirable stay location! More

If you plan to stay in... More
