Above all we found that Kathryn and Peter were proud of their area and interested in us and in making our stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. The 6pm social on the balcony with drinks and nibbles allowed us to get suggestions, ask about the local highlights [advice that we followed [Opoutere - wow!] and even drop a hint... More

Our first experience of B&B in NZ and we have clearly started with the best. From the moment we arrived we realised this was going to be special. From the early evening drinks welcome to the long list of breakfast choices we were made to feel very much at home. Their local knowledge enabled us to make the best of... More

Kathryn and Peter are gracious hosts and have thought of everything we could possibly want or need during our stay. The dinner was right up there with the best restaurant meals we had in New Zealand and the breakfast was also top notch.

This B&B is a real gem and... More

This was our first visit to Whangamata and Kathryn and Peter's B&B was a lovely place to stay. An awesome view of the ocean from the room's balcony greeted us. A nice touch with complimentary wine and chocolates in the room when we arrived. A little misunderstanding over the arrival time was quickly averted and we were made to feel... More
