If you are looking for somewhere to stay near Auckland or planning a trip around New Zealand then you would be wise to book yourself into the Bayview in Manly. The hospitality we were shown is honestly second to none in all of the travelling I have done around the world. A complimentary bottle of wine was given to us... More

I should first of all mention, that I generally don't do B&Bs, but having read the reviews on TripAdvisor, thought it would be worth a try on our way up to the Bay of Islands. All I can say is that it was absolutely superb. The welcome basket and bottle of wine is such a lovely touch and the Shell... More

We stayed at this property on our way from Rotorua to the Bay of Isles. The welcoming we received was over and above what one could expect and clearly the owners pride themselves in being very hospitably and generous with the welcome received. Every aspect was delightful and very much appreciated, from the cheese and wine on arrival to the... More

Our friend who live locally were made very welcome for evening drinks and tea The best breakfast... More

Stayed at this lovely B&B only overnight on our trip from Auckland airport to the kauri woods. But as we found out later Manly on Whangaparaoa Peninsula is an even better alternative to Auckland for visiting Tiritiri Matangi Island, as the boat from Auckland stops at Whangaparaoa Peninsula- and from here it´s only another 4 km to Tiritiri Matangi.For people...

We stayed with Carolyn and Arnold twice during out stay in NZ, once over night and then for two night just before we left. Although a bit of a drive back in to Auckland, this is the most relaxing place we stayed. Having breakfast or dinner over looking the bay from the front porch was just lovely. The whole house...

Great location, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Great hosts, very welcoming and attentive. The room was comfortable with everything that we needed and a nice view of the garden. Breakfast was fantastic, plenty to choose from and cooked to perfection. Would definately recommend this B&B to others. Wish we could have stayed longer!

After communicating with Carolyn and Arnold via email from Perth for some time and receiving first rate,helpful information about bus routes, timetables, as well as answers to our many questions, we were met in Auckland by the charming Arnold, who took us on a scenic drive around the magnificent beaches that surround the Bayview Manly. Wow! They were to die... More
