It’s an heaven place, I love it!
Nothing, everything was amazing, and even a breakfast was offer to me.
Ein wunderschönes Plätzchen. Wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt und hatten ein tolles Zimmer mit Blick in den wunderschönen Garten, außerdem ein großes Bad. Ganz in der Nähe ist ein toller Strandabschnitt auf dem man ewig spazieren gehen kann. Wir hätten die Küche benutzen können und die Gastgeber haben uns einfach vertraut obwohl sie am Abend nicht da waren. Wir hatten ein gutes Frühstück, mussten aber leider nach nur einer Nacht schon weiter.
Loved the location. Secluded bush location with lovely walk next door.
Wunderschöne, ruhige Lage, sehr große und komfortable Zimmer. Fantastisch schöner Garten.
Annie and Kevin were lovely hosts and even made up some muesli for us which was delicious. The house is located in a quiet street with a lovely garden. They made sure we had plenty of milk and spreads for our toast. The beds in the twin room were very comfortable.
I didn't get from the description that the living room and kitchen were shared, so it was a bit of a surprise. However, as Annie and Kevin were so nice it wasn't uncomfortable.
This hotel was a pleasant surprise for our trip. The surroundings are beautiful, the hosts are warm and welcoming, and the rooms are spotless. It's the kind of place you just don't want to leave!
Close to airport, could leave car at property while on Stewart Island, and drop off at airport was most appreciated.
A great location
Having to leave the bedroom to use the bathroom
Ein wunderschönes Haus, und die Aussicht vom Zimmer in den Garten ist unglaublich! Es ist sehr ruhig - wirklich ein Hideaway! Annie und Kevin sind fabelhafte Gastgeber und wir haben uns wie Zuhause gefühlt.
The garden was beautiful. The room was private and clean. The hosts were friendly and helpful
A small tv in the room would have been good.
Such a lovely welcome from the host Annie. Clean and comfortable room in a beautiful and relaxing environment. We were welcomed into the lounge room for a chat. Breakfast was an added delight.
Lovely place to stay. The hosts very accommodating letting me use their laundry, providing a bit of detergent, and answering all my questions. The room was large and section off from the rest of the home. The home itself is tucked away in the woods with a beautiful yard.
Conveniece to the airport and comfort
Beautiful spot, hidden away with gardens and birdlife everywhere. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
A wonderful B & B that's beautifully furnished. Very spacious bedroom and comfortable bed. The view from the bedroom sliding door looks out to huge lawns, shrubs, trees and native bush. So peaceful and quiet and waking up to tuis singing in the morning is magical. Clean and tidy bathroom. Continental breakfast included delicious homemade muesli, toast, and a variety of spreads as well as a range of herbal teas and coffee.
No gluten-free or dairy-free options available for breakfast.
Super ruhige Lage. Sehr sauber und schön.
J'ai choisi ce logement excentré de la ville pour son calme et son extraordinaire jardin ou les oiseaux se plaisent. Bel accueil et possibilité de choisir l'une des 2 chambres. Splendide vue sur le jardin, ciel étoilé en soirée. Petit restaurant sympa très bien à proximité. Salle de bains avec douche bien pratique..Une carte détachable comme au centre info pour explorer les Catlins. Génial ! Petit déjeuner sur place bien agréable. .des infos précieuses sur le port de Bluff m'ont été donné par mail avant de venir. Très réactive.
Juste de partir si vite, sans avoir pu visiter le musée des transports....
Wunderschön und familiär. Gute Gespräche mit Kevin. Dankeschön.
Gemeinschaftsbad hätte uns nicht gefallen, wir hatten aber Glück, das andere Zimmer war nicht belegt.
Great little spot. Very friendly hosts. Would happily stay there again.
Die Lage, der Garten, unseres Schlafzimmer, heisses Wasser beim Duschen und die Gastgeberin
Alles super!! Nichts negatives
Literally a hide away! This was definitely a hidden gem. Hosts were lovely & I swear this was the quietest corner of the world. All you could hear were birds chirping in the beautiful gardens.
Nothing really
A good bed, lots of space inside and out.
traumhafter Garten und sehr nette Besitzer
I absolutely loved the property – everything was very clean and well organised. The room was spacious, with coffee and tea conveniently placed next to the bed, and a beautiful garden view. It was definitely worth every cent! Ideal for anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful stay with a stunning view.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the room didn’t have blackout curtains, so it gets quite bright in the morning
Beautiful, private location, surrounded by native bush. Really was a hideaway!
Maybe some shampoo/conditioner in bathroom?
The location was wonderful. It is right next to a preserve where one can walk a loop and hear birds, and see deep trees and ferns. It is very quiet and peaceful.
Head's up: the room is cold, but there is an electric heater and electric blanket. Just be prepared if you stay there in a colder time of year.
Close to where we needed to be. Found our new favourite restaurant thanks to the host.
The room and garden setting was great. Peaceful. Only couple staying so did not have to share bathroom.
Seems host wasn't expecting us. Handed pillow cases on arrival to put on ourselves. No offered set breakfast. Breakfast was basically search and do it yourself. No basic ingredients for any type of cooked breakfast first morning, believe eggs were in fridge second day, still would have had to prepare ourselves.
Hostess could have stayed to greet me and make sure I was okay.
A last minute booking but nonetheless a warm welcome from our host. A beautiful setting and lovely room that made us wish we could stay longer.
Tui Hideaway is located at the end of a dead-end road with beautiful gardens and walk close by. The room comfortable and warm with french doors that opened onto a deck area. The host was very welcoming. We were sorry we couldn't stay an extra night.
The sound of the tuis
Beautiful spot to stay in
Nice outlook breakfast was muesli cereal. ..we added our own fresh fruits & nuts Kevin joined us later on. We were the only guests and so bathroom facilities did not have to be shared.
Annie was a wonderful host. We very much enjoyed staying in her lovely home. We received a wonderful breakfast. The location was perfect for flying out of Invercargill.
Peaceful, out of town location in beautiful sheltered garden setting.
Nothing.
room was cold
Welcoming hosts even went up and beyond by calling us a day before that we can check in early. Peaceful and offers tranquility beyond money can buy. Much needed time away from the hustle and bustle in Auckland where we are from.
Nothing
Stunning location in the bush but convenient to town. Friendly hosts.
Wonderful hosts, beautiful garden and fabulous fire! Great location.
Lovely setting outside of town. Beautiful garden up against green space.
The space was somewhat musty with an odd odor. The accommodations were fine but somewhat run down. Breakfast was very modest, yogurt and musli.
Beautiful location & grounds. Very friendly hosts & breakfast was available free of charge (although we didn’t have breakfast on site as we were travelling).
There was nothing to not like!
Great hosts - got picked up and dropped off to the airport. Beautiful location. We had a room and bathroom all to ourselves and away from the main area so could be as private or social as we liked.
Lovely hosts. Tranquil setting.
Sharing the room with eight legged fiends and their cobwebs. Shower head was broken and gushed out like a garden hose without spray settings.
Lovely hosts. Great location.
The idea that the bathroom was shared. It was fine for us. There are two rooms (one double, one twin) but no one was in the other room ti us.
Everything, beautiful and comfortable room with a great view to the fabulous garden
I didn't realise the bathroom is outside the bedroom, but as we were the only ones to use it, it wasn't a problem
Lovely room with great garden view. Super comfortable bed. Loved it Nice hiking path right there too.
all good
Family were very welcoming. Room was spacious with a comfortable bed. Bathroom and shower were very clean Great out of the way place. Brilliant little reserve right next door, for a pleasant 20 minute walk. Ample parking
Nothing
Pick up from airport and drop off was very handy.
Beautiful
We loved the beautiful garden setting, yet close to the city. Friendly owner and great value for money. Breakfast included, very nice.
We needed to clean the car as we had parked under the trees where leaves dropped.
Beautiful location and hosts were friendly.
Beautiful house and garden with spacious bedroom
Electrical heater did not work well
Peaceful
It's the most beautiful B&B I've stayed in New Zealand, with an extremely large and gorgeous backyard. It was exceptionally clean, and Tui birds were singing in the flower beds, creating a truly perfect accommodation experience.
The location was peaceful, quiet and the beautiful surrounding gardens made for a very relaxing stay. My room was excellent and my hosts Annie and Kevin made me feel very welcome.
What a superb place for a birder, the garden was amazing, full of shurbs and trees. Lovely house, tucked away from the main road 👌 Nice and quiet. Electric blanket and heating. We was made to feel welcome straight away. We really enjoyed our stay here ❤️
Nothing not to like....
Not much
I was not impressed with the 'continental' breakfast. It was a jar of muesli in a cupboard above the fridge, yoghurt, and a search in the owners kitchen for plates, utensils etc. Not sure where the coffee was. No toast or spreads. The room was cold, with only a noisy fan heater, there was no plug for the electric blanket. The owner was not particularly helpful. I would not stay here ever again
A nice stay nice hosts highly recommended
all good
Very comfortable room.
Nothing. Everything was perfect
