Great place to stay in Thames. As the name implies it is high up on a hill. Our room had a private balcony facing the sea and it was a suntrap too. Vicky and Phil were great hosts and made us feel very at home there. Old fashioned class in furniture, decor and style. Soft classical music accompanied our breakfasts... More

Phil and Vicki were the perfect hosts to our brief stay at The Heights. Nothing was too much for them. Our accommodation was perfect and we had a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed.

A lovely place to stay. Hosts made us feel very welcome. Accomodation was very clean and comfortable furnished with beautiful antique furniture. The balcony gave excellent views of the estuary.

We had a very relaxed time staying with Phil and Vicky. They are perfect hosts and we felt pampered. The room was lovely, clean and well appointed. The breakfasts were absolutely lovely and the cookies in the room and lovely little notes everywhere a delightful touch. Phil and Vicky suggested a couple of nice places to eat for dinner one...

Your hosts couldn't possibly be more caring! You can follow all their suggestions regarding sights, times, restaurants etc and never go wrong. Vicky and Phil love what they do! Also the room was very comfortable and being close to the family is exactly what you want from a B&B, in our opinion. Breakfasts, homemade cookies and other meals are delicious,... More

The Heights is well-named, as it is situated about 5 minutes outside of Thames high up on a hill overlooking the bay. Our hostess, Vicky, welcomed us with snacks and drinks and gave us a tour of the B&B and its amenities when we arrived. We stayed in the Te Moana room, which has a nice-sized balcony with comfortable chairs... More

We enjoyed our stay at The Heights. Our room was cosy but comfortable and had a good size balcony looking out towards the water in the distance. The room had everything you could wish for and the hosts were most accommodating. Breakfast wasn't as extensive as at other places, but that wasn't such a bad thing. We only stayed for... More

We spent 2 days here as part of our 5 week trip to New Zealand. Very accommodating hosts who are interesting and well traveled. They prepare a great breakfast and there is an attractive garden and a hot tub to relax in at end of day. Comfortable room with one of the best showers of our trip. One evening the... More
