B&B a East Auckland

“For a homestay the property was in good condition.They offer a basic continental breakfast if you need a quick bite. However, the noise from vehicles passing by the road especially at night was bothering. ”

“Charming B&B! Area is lovely (although it was raining during our stay so we didn’t get as much of a chance to enjoy the location as we would have liked… but it IS breathtaking.) On the bay, lovely walk to town … couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful spot! Hosts are wonderful people … homemade bread and jams, fruit, yogurt and assorted cereals for breakfast… would recommend Dovecote to everyone!”

“Beautiful property with unique features. Had everything we needed. ”

“Amazing place for a holiday or even a weekend away like me and my partner booked it for The property is stunning and right on the beach ! The owners make sure you get a great car park out front and the area aside from the beautiful beach has a bunch of scenic walks. There is food places and shops within a 5 minute drive The stay came with every amenity you would ever need and more ! Everything from plates, cutlery, champagne flutes and cleaning products to water sports equipment. The room was...

“While we didn’t require provisions for disabilities, they had an excellent set-up for those that do need such. Our host was very accommodating. ”

“Location great, cleanliness great, provisions great, access great, nothing about the property could be faulted. Property owner was well prepared and friendly when we arrived, communication before arrival was excellent. The only (very very minor) request for improvement would be a light on the sign on the road, we returned at night and struggled to locate the entrance confidently in the dark. Noting this did not detract from the stay in the slightest.”

“The owner is called Chris who knew how to respect me, my wife and my son. He told me the true how to be realistic to/not to go to South Island without enough time to travel there from North to South and transportation.”

“Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich. Es war sehr familiär, man hat zusammen gefrühstückt und einen schönen Einblick in das reale Leben bekommen. Das Zimmer war sehr komfortabel und das Bett super bequem. Würde auf jeden Fall wieder hinfahren. Die Umgebung war eine schöne Nachbarschaft, ca 15 minuten zu Fuß ist ein Einkaufscenter inklusive Supermarkt.”

“We liked how the property was within an easy walking distance to Howick Village and Howick Beach. Host Steve was super responsive, welcomed us when we arrived and prepared wine, fruits, cereal and milk for us. He also lets us use the washing machine and hang laundry. The independent studio is accessed through the main house so we had to carry all of our stuff through his house. Steve said we could use his main kitchen but we were ok with the kettle and utensils that he prepared for us, so we...

“We booked the cheapest room for two nights, but when we got there, Andy told us that we're their only guests for the weekend, so they upgraded our room to the suite. 😊 The suite was stunning with a big living room and kitchen, also with ecstatic views. When we left the room the next day to tour around the island, we went back to a cleanroom. Although, we didn't expect a cleaning service. They served breakfast inside our room, and we could use the hot tub as long as we can. The pool was...

“Lovely peaceful place. Spectacular views. Hosts are very welcoming.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - our hosts were lovely and set up a beautiful breakfast. The accommodation itself was also beautiful and the views were stunning. We will definitely be returning at some point and this time we will book their private dining dinner in advance :) ”
