My husband and I had a great stay at this lovely and charming B&B in Seatoun near Wellington. The B&B has a lot of charm. The house is more than 100 years old and the owners have maintained it really well keeping its original style intact.
Our room had a fantastic view to the sea/the bay into Wellington. All the rooms (3) actually have a sea view. Our room was beautifully decorated. Our breakfast was delicious, Craig is a very good cook.
We can definitely recommend this B&B
When we arrived the greeting was scanty and brisk. Only the man spoke to us; the woman was never introduced and showed no interest in us during our stay except to demand that we keep our shoes on in the house and not leave them by the door.
There was no sitting area for guests except in a crowded and uncomfortable room which served as a passageway.
We had booked the most expensive, ensuite room. The other accommodation had even less privacy.
Breakfast was a rushed affair (the woman, whose name we never heard spoken) did not appear. The man did not speak to us when we arrived in the common breakfast area, at one end of the kitchen, so we introduced ourselves to the other guests and made do with what was on the table. Eventually were offered a fried egg. After many of the other guests had finished eating a half-heated offer of croissant was made, but we were just happy to pay up and get out of the unfriendly atmosphere.
We had good experiences in New Zealand; this was not one.
We stayed overnight at the Beachfront B&B. Our room was nicely outfitted, including coffee and tea facilities in the room. We did share a bath with one other set of guests; I believe some en suite options are available. Our host was warm and friendly, and provided a good breakfast. The beach is literally right across the street. If you have a car, this is a great option while in Wellington.
We had a magical time at this B&B, Jude and Craig are the most thoughtful and lovely hosts one could wish for. The house is absolutely gorgeous and our room just lovely. Everything kept spotless, bathroom seemed to be newly refurbished to a high standard. Craig cooks you breakfast in the morning and Jude seems to bake/make everything herself including the awesome granola that's part of the breakfast. I travelled with my mother and we both agreed this was probably the nicest B&B we've ever stayed in. Views are beautiful and it was so amazing to be able to just walk across the road to the beach. In the end Jude sent us off with freshly baked mince-pies and Craig even drove us to the airport. Could not have asked for better or more personal yet professional service. We recommend this B&B wholeheartedly!
Located quite far from the city center and right at the beach provided for the quiet atmosphere and the view from the room was amazing. The owners were very nice and friendly and were always up for a chat. Breakfast was delicious and prepared on the spot. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and I would return again.
