We are ecstatic to have received TripAdvisor’s top award for 2023: the Travellers’ Choice – Best of the Best 2023.

This places us in the top 1% of hotels reviewed on TripAdvisor and amongst the best in New Zealand.

A big ‘thank you’ to all our guests

The reviews from our guests power the rating and awards on TripAdvisor and these reviews date back to our very first guests in 2011.  Whilst we always like to receive feedback in any form, our approach to our guests is gentle: please leave a comment in our guest book, or complete a personal comment on check-out. If you wish to review on social media, we are appreciative of a comment on any platform you are comfortable with.

Online privacy is a significant issue these days, and we fully appreciate our guests may not wish to register with a new platform just to leave a review.  That’s probably why you’ll notice our reviews on TripAdvior are from guests who have already left 5, 20 or even a thousand prior reviews – not just single casual contributions.  For us, this makes the award even more significant.

It’s not just about awards

Yes, it’s lovely to receive this award, but just as important for us is the industry standards we strive to meet.  That’s why we are also assessed by Qualmark, New Zealand’s official tourism agency and the Bed and Breakfast Association which promotes high standards for hosted accommodation.

Our final message: book and stay with us with confidence. We’re sure you’ll be delighted.
