We stayed in many B&Bs on our recent trip round NZ and the Landing was a highpoint in terms of the quality of accomodation in the Bayview Suite (see other reviews about the spacious, fantastic bathroom) with its breathtaking view over the bay. Yes, it is up on Bluff Hill rather than down in the town but you can't beat... more

The views from The Landing's upstairs bedroom are just incredibly calming and peaceful looking straight over the water. Whether sitting and reading, sipping on a Hawke's Bay red or white, or just chilling out it was a great place to be. more

The Landing is situated up a hill in a dense residential district and it may seem a bit tricky to get to but follow Jill's instructions and you will be rewarded with fantastic views of Hawkes Bay. Parking is provided which is much needed on the narrow streets. On arrival we got a very warm welcome from Jill and a... more

Me and my partner stayed here for three nights in September 2009 whilst traveling around the North Island for a few weeks. We found this place to be beautiful. We were staying in 'The Lookout' which gave you a lovely view of the bay and hill. The house itself is gorgeous, and the hosts Jill and Alain really looked after... more

I recently stayed with my mother and it was great. The house is beautiful with a good view of the working port. Jill makes you feel like you are at home, and if you had a home like this you would never leave. Fantastic breakfast and facilities, I would highly recommend this place to anyone. more

From the moment that Jill greeted us at the front door we were made to feel welcome and at home. The property is beautiful and our room had the most fantastic views and was very spacious, well appointed and the en-suite was just gorgeous - really big and had bath and separate shower with all the amenities of a 5... more
