    Our host helped to guide us and our route and our hiking in both national parks and gave us some amazing tips and insights. Lovely eclectic Edwardian property with interesting artwork and sculpture. Wish we had stayed longer

    Peaceful interlude

    A fabulous B&B that is made so friendly and enjoyable by the host Mark. Front green room with stunning views and a verandah was great. The breakfasts were the highlight as it was in the formal lounge room and cooked to perfection by Mark. It was a very welcoming stay thank you Mark.

    Especially lovely stay

    Shady Rest is filled with character and warmth, including lots of eclectic art, furniture and decor. Mark is a wonderful host who is passionate about running his B&B, making guests feel totally at home, offering terrific suggestions on places to see, and making a lovely breakfast. The little town is under a 1/2 mile walk so it’s very convenient to walk to dinner if you want to keep it simple. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    A B&B in NZ? Wow! Rare!

    Fantastic B n B, giving you the run of the house and down to the creek to feed the eels! Really comfy bed and excellent shower too. Topped off with an eggsellent breakfast.
