Ingrid and Arron run an amazing bed and breakfast. Every detail (even the smallest) is attended to. They take enormous pride in their gorgeous property, and it sure shows. The room is by far the most comfortable we have ever slept in! The bed is heavenly. Everything is immaculate!!!!! The floors are heated in the bathroom! The breakfast was hearty... More

We arrived at Aaron and Ingrid's home thinking that we were at the wrong address as it was such a stunning house. However,we were immediatrely greeted by Aaron and his very welcoming smile. Both hosts were so friendly and we enjoyed conversing with them. Nothing was too much and attention to detail was appreciated. Our room was so comfortable and... More

Aaron & Ingrid were very friendly & couldn't do enough for us, wish we could have stayed longer.The first B&B on this trip that has offered a full English breakfast so that was much appreciated as my husband was getting a bit fed up with croissants !Make sure...

When we arrived we all thought the house and garden was absolutely stunning. We booked the garden suite, which was lovely. Ingrid and Aarron are wonderful hosts, and put a lot of work into running a fantastic b&b. They are well travelled and have a terrific sense of humour; we spent an evening with them and another couple staying there... More

I have stayed regularly with Ingrid and Aaron for a night almost every week for the last two years. They are always friendly and hopsitible and make me feel most welcome. It's a large house in a very quite country area near the outskirts of town - just what I need to relax at the end of a busy day. More

This is a lovely place to stay. It's just outside Palmerston North, but handy to the University, and has beautiful gardens and farmland around it, as well as a reserve. I went to PN to do some work, but wished I could have spent more time enjoying the pleasant environment at the B&B. The house is also lovely, the rooms... More

From the moment you turn up the driveway through the lovely gardens past the ornaments and sculptures and the wee pond you know that you are going to love your stay here. Once you arrive at the front door you are greeted by really friendly charming hosts and given a lovely relaxed welcome with tea, coffee or a cold drink... More

Arron and Ingrid have been in the B&B business for only a year, and so don't have any TA comments yet. We were referred to them by another B&B in the area which was fully booked. We stayed at A Country Affair for one night while passing through the area, but their home could easily be a destination in itself.... More
