This was our 16th B&B in 6 weeks in New Zealand and is defiantly in the top two or three, it is in a good location and the rooms are beautiful, and the hosts Neil and Sue are delightful, we had drinks every night and great discussions about our days and our travels. The breakfast are fantastic and they also... More

We were in New Zealand for 4 weeks and this was absolutely the nicest place we stayed. The house, room and gardens were all wondrful but it was Niel(the host) made our stay a memorable experience. The breakfasts were yummy and Niels Paella on the deck one night for supper was outstanding. Niel borrowed me his golf clubs one day... More

The two days spent at the Alfresco B&B have set the benchmark for quality accommodation hospitality and dining - from a beautiful breakfast, afternoon tea and (optional) evening meal which we loved - our "Alfresco Hosts" exceeded every expectation. During our stay we visited White Island ( a real treat) and plenty of advice was available from our hosts regards... More

A modern property with a wonderful feeling of space, tastefully furnished with quality and style. The numerous sundecks in small pretty gardens encouraged eating outside and explains the name of the B&B. The hospitality was first class and a joy to stay at a property that succeeded in offering a different formula to enhance the experience and enjoyment of their... More

Was a great place to start a holiday. Not that close to town but was only looking for a nice quiet place to catch up on sleep after the flight from the States and I was able to achieve that. I had requested dinner for my night of arrival and was not disappointed. Would definitely recommend.

We found this B&B on the Internet - weren't we lucky! Beautiful room, appointed to perfection with port and chocolates and a lovely outlook onto a pretty garden. Our genial hosts are gourmet cooks and the breakfast choice was superb.
