Danielle and Dino were delightful hosts and we shall always have happy memories of sitting on their balcony, soaking in the sunshine and the marvellous view out over the Bay, drinking tea and eating homemade cake and chatting with them. And we thoroughly enjoyed the leisurely breakfasts with fresh fruit salad, plums from the garden, cereals, croissants, homemade jam, and scrambled eggs, all accompanied by bird watching, as the Tui on the Century Plant had its own breakfast, and a Weka wandered by. This was everything we hope for when we stay at a B&B.

We really enjoyed meeting Danielle and Dino. They made us feel right at home and are wunderful hosts. We found their advice on where to visit very helpful.
The house is immaculate, tastefully furniched and with superb views. The breakfasts were terrific, including fresh fruit and home cooked fruit and jams and a lot more, served on the spacious verandah with panoramic views over Russell bay.

This was the best B&B we ever stayed in!

This is a fabulous homestay run by hosts Danielle and Dino - when we left after 3 days it was like saying goodbye to old friends. Views are stunning, rooms are gorgeous (website is accurate - apart from Rose Room having a private bathroom, not ensuite. However this room is worth having because of the balcony). Breakfast was full of home cooked fruit and jams, and a whole lot more,served on the verandah. Little details like chocolates in the room at bedtime, afternoon tea, laying the breakfast table outside your balcony door totally silently! This is a place we just could not wait to get back to, whatever time of day, just to sit and take in that view. Daneille and Dino were really helpful and friendly, without being instrusive. Totally recommended. Russell is also a delightful town.
