Guest Comments

A Culinary Experience was our favourite B and B on both islands. From their lovely home with it's view of the bay across the Boulder Bank to their fantastic breakfasts and dinners and attention to our needs as travellers in this wonderful land, Kay and Joe were great hosts. ...A truly memorable experience. New Zealand is awesome and so is this B and B.  - John and Louise,, Ohio USA

Remember the difference between a BnB and a hotel is...the hotel staff rarely gives you a goodbye hug!
