After a fortnight in Tonga (sea kayaking) we were ready for a top line B&B and we found it. Great location: near beach, park, shops and city (by bus). Keith very kindly took us a wonderful sail in the harbour on his beautiful boat, Brass Tax (?). Memorable & creative breakfasts with good measures of variety, choice, quality & quantity.... more

Trish and Keith made me feel welcome from the moment I stepped in the door. Taking me (then my brother) in at a moments notice due to a family emergency, they couldn't have been more accommodating. more

Our arrival started inauspiciously as we were met by a timid person who explained that the owners had a medical issue and had left on a cruise...so no sailboat trip as promised on the internet, and no computer to use, and some tv issues, but the hosts who filled in were quite lovely and did their best in every way... more

We spent three nights at Nautical Nook and our ensuite room was large and spotless. Our hostess was wonderful, and despite having had a knee replacment a month earlier, took great pains (no pun intended) to ensure her guests were well catered to, cooking excellent breakfasts each morning, providing advice on what to see and do in Auckland and how... more

We stayed here on our first night in New Zealand. Our room was upstairs with an en-suite. There was room for parking off the street. Keith and Trish are wonderful hosts. The breakfast was very nice with lots of variety. We enjoyed our conversations with them and their helpful tips. more

The best breakfast we have ever had at a bed and breakfast. We like to walk, so enjoyed a walk to Mission Beach, where Keith recommended a Fish and Chips Cafe. They... more

I agree with all the positive comments in previous reviews. We booked at short notice and although they were full for our first night of three, Keith suggested that if we wished we could sleep on his yacht. As we are sailors we jumped at the offer. We arrived at 1.30am and Keith was waiing for us, whisked us down... more

My wife and I came there with two kids, 4 and 7 years old. We chose the location mainly because it is in a quiet area, with a park and beach just over the street. It was also close to Auckland, just a bus ride away. Our hosts were very friendly, and gave us a nice introduction with lots of... more

An excellent B&B, as expected with a B&B you get a more intimate service than a hotel. This was far beyond our expectations however, with excellent bed/room and even better breakfast's. As an added bonus we also experienced a great sail, local knowledge (great restaurants etc) and so much more. Highly recommended for anyone looking for that bit more. With... more
