We stayed at the Chelsea House for 2 nights. The house has a great history. The rooms are spacious and well equipped as is the whole house. Jennie made us feel very comfortable and gave us great suggestions on how to spend our days. It is walking distance to great walks and to town and convenient to Whangarei Heads which is a great place to spend a day. There are only two bedrooms so it is very private. The breakfast and snacks are delicious. We would definitely return.
Hi C & S,
It was such fun hosting such a bright and bubbly couple. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you during your stay in Whangarei. You really made the most of your short stay in NZ.
I'm hoping you managed to get home to New York before NZ went into lockdown.
Keep in touch and I hope you get to have your reunion with your furbaby before too long.
Safe travels

Jennie and Tony were incredibly welcoming and we settled quickly in to the most well-appointed room and comfortable bed on our two week vacation. There was on-site parking and plenty of space to spread out and get reorganized at this halfway point on our journey. Jennie was friendly and helpful in many things, including snagging a last minute dinner reservation at the best restaurant in town. She reached out to us weeks before our visit to inquire about our plans and offer suggestions for must-see sights. There were fresh baked cookies on hand, and delicious breakfast cooked to order each morning. Highly recommended!
Hi, R & P,
Thanks for choosing to stay with us, not long before NZ was to go into lockdown and for such an awesome review - to learn that we were your favourite stay is really special.
It was a treat to get to know you both and have time to sit and chat over a cuppa or breakfast.
Every Friday as I sit down to watch Call the Midwife it reminds me of sharing that time with you too.
All the very best and stay safe.
Jennie and Tony
Everything about the Chelsea House B&B was perfect during our stay - the host was so friendly and helpful that we instantly felt at home.
The room was very lovely as well as the whole building!
Breakfast was delicious and miles ahead of anything you usually get in B&Bs (even if they are good), it felt more like a sunday morning with food prepared by a loving family member.
Another plus: there‘s a variety of peaceful bushwalks (the only place where I met people was a lookout) just across the street in case you don’t want to go back to the car after a long drive.
Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous review.
It is such a privilege that you chose to stay with us, and that you considered that your time at Chelsea House B&B to be the best out of a four week holiday in NZ. It means a lot to us, to hear such positive comments.
Keep in touch.
Kindest regards
Jennie
We had an excellent time at Chelsea House. Jennie & Tony are fantastic hosts. The house was beautiful, we had a lovely room. We felt so welcome at there place. There was a delicious breakfast in the morning and there were nice tea facilities with homemade bananabread (so yummy)!! They gave great tips for restaurants, activities etc . We could ask for anything!
For everybody who wants to visit Whangarei and needs a place to stay, we would highly recommend Chelsea House!! :-)
Hi,
Thank you for taking time out during your holiday to review us and the recommendation.
We are glad you enjoyed everything about you stay with us.
Safe travels and happy memories of your time in NZ

Chelsea House B&B offers more than just historic villa with 12-feet ceilings, great accommodations, hospitality, and good cooked breakfast. Jennie is a seasoned travel professional, and her recommendations on what to see on the North and South Islands were invaluable, especially the advice to visit "stunning beaches" (they are stunning, indeed!!) on the East Coast of the North Island. Both Jennie and Tony are very friendly hosts, and it's my pleasure to recommend their old/new villa.
Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us recently.
You were great guests and we enjoyed our chat we other you both over breakfast.
We hope you trip up to Cape Reinga and down 90 mile beach went well.
I hope you are enjoying Christmas and both wish you all the best in 2020.
Jennie
