Jan and Leigh, Took care of us like they were our Aunt and Uncle. I say Aunt and Uncle cause it felt genuine and familiar without being overbearing like parents would be:) The breakfast's were exceptional and the ride to and from the train station was much appreciated. The house does have some cracks from the earthquakes but who cares?... More

The house is inevitably showing some signs of earthquake damage but still very comfortable and the friendliness of Leigh and Jan exceptional. Ideal location although the road traffic is slightly intrusive in the early morning.

Anselm House is the ideal place to stay at the start or end of your holiday - for us it was 2 days at the end of 3 weeks in NZ. It is easy to find and very easy to get to the airport. Also easy to get into town and Leigh was very helpful with directions and recommendations to... More

This a beautiful home surrounded by gorgeous gardens and a crystal clear stream. The location is fabulous and the overall accommodations terrific.

We stayed at Anselm House on our last night in New Zealand - having toured for 25 days staying in an array of hotels and 3 other first class B & Bs. For us, Anselm House was well located. We had no difficulty in finding it having travelled up the SH1 from Dunedin. It was an easy up Findelton Road/Memorial... More

We spent 3 nights at Anselm House during our 3 week visit to NZ - at the beginning, middle and end of our holiday. We could not have found a better place - Jan and Leigh are fabulous hosts who could not have been more accommodating. We stayed in both rooms (our favourite was the River Room), breakfast was excellent... More

Completely agree with all the superlatives heaped on Anselm House and its lovely owners, Jan & Leigh. We couldn't have asked for a nicer start to our first day of our first trip to NZ. The house and garden are just beautiful, even with post-earthquake steel girders supporting the external walls and small cracks inside. But the house is structurally... More

I'd like to point out that all the excellent reviews about this B&B is true. It is a home away from home, the hosts Jan and Leigh are genuinely nice and loving people. The breakfast was AWESOME and the location is just perfect as well. Coming to a new city I just wasn't sure what I was going to get,... More
