Doreen and Geoff were excellent hosts. We stayed here 3 nights and had many pleasant conversations. The whole atmosphere was very relaxing with the oceans views and gardens. I slept very well here. The outdoor patio area is very nice to enjoy a glass of wine. The property is close to Hokitika and Greymouth. (We had a nice dinner at "The Kitchen" in Hokitika and Greymouth has two good breweries available.) There's also a glow worm glen just a few miles down the road at the edge of Hokitika. Great B&B! Great part of the country to visit!

Tyler United States of America

Breakfast was fine, not exceptional however...location was good for our purposes but there would not be much to do if you stayed more than one night.

Mike United States of America

Personal attention from lovely hosts Geoff and Doreen.

Stan_knotts United States of America

A great experience! Doreen and Geoff were very gracious and it felt to us like visiting with family. Delicious breakfast and coffee and spot on recommendations for local activities.

Christopher United States of America

Clean and the grounds are well groomed. The location was a short drive out of Hokitika so it was quite and overlooks the Tasman sea.

Jeffrey United States of America

The hosts were delightful. The gardens were brilliant. The whole place was peaceful and the perfect place to relax.

Gary United States of America

The most beautiful view of gardens and the Pacific Ocean. Birdsongs galore!!!!
