My husband and I stayed at Teichelmann's B&B in April for one night on a recent trip to the south island. We highly recommend this B&B! We stayed in the English cottage and loved the privacy and how thoughtfully the cottage had been decorated and appointed with amenities. We were even able to make our own hot tea which we... More

Beautiful little B&B in very central location. Brian and Frances are wonderful hosts, and this almost feels more like a homestay experience than a B&B. Everything about the rooms speaks of high quality and attention to detail, breakfast was delicious, and the free port in the evenings much appreciated!

Our journey to Hokitika from Haast had been a little rainy but from the minute we walked through the door at Teichelmann's the sun appeared as if by magic! More of Fran's magic as we sat down to a welcome cup of coffee and tea with delicious homemade biscuits. A bracing walk along the shore and back for warming showers... More

We had heard great things about Teichelmans and were not dissappointed. Great accommodation close to the centre of town. Brian and Frances are excellent hosts, and our one night stay was too short. Breakfast was superb, and we felt like we could have stayed and chatted for a lot longer. We can highly recommend this home away from home.

What more can you ask about Teichelmann's Bed and Breakfast? Comfortable, cosy cottage in a great location that's five minutes from everywhere that's anywhere in Hokitika, and in Brian and Frances a pair of most congenial hosts who'll go the extra distance to see us on our way, picking up from the airport and even giving a lift to the...

Each year my brother and I have ended a week's tramping in Punakaiki with a visit to Hokitika for the Wild Foods Festival and always stay at Teichelmann's. Brian meets us at the bus stop to take all our tramping gear etc to their house. Brian and Frances provide tea and home-made biscuits in their charming garden, ask about any... More

We had a wonderful overnight stay here, and our hosts could not have been nicer. We arrived around 4pm and after being shown to our room and put our bags away, we were invited into the parlor to have coffee and tea. While drinking our coffee and tea, we had a great conversation and were told about the house, the... More

- old-fashioned but traditional bed & breakfast - host-parents are ok, friendly, will provide you with historic background - big bed with comfortable pillows and blankets - breakfast is ok, nothing special - the location of the B&B is a bit off-road and in walking distance to the beach - the town is very quite - upgrade if availalble

One of the 3 best B&Bs we had during our 33 day driving tour of New Zealand! Interesting home, comfortable room, charming hosts, gourmet breakfast. I wish we could have stayed longer. Brian and Frances are very comfortable with conversation, which is the biggest reason we chose to stay at B&Bs. Brian has a biting English humor (think John Cleese... More
