NIce stay and simple but good breakfast to start your day. Value for money. Mr Doug, the host was extremely nice.
Wet friendly and helpful owners live nearby. Very clean, lots of homemade treats.
Could get a little cold at night in the winter, but electric blankets help to alleviate.

It's OK
Breakfast was a "continental " breakfast with delicious, home-made muesli, jam and marmalade. Parking was good, hosts were very welcoming and helpful with advice and recommendation about top spots around Palmerston North. Close access to a clean, modern and easy to access and use, laundromat.
The breakfast was generous and absolutely delicious. It really set me up for each day and it was so tasty and also nutritious.
Honestly, everything was excellent. I really like Doug and Jenny and they were so thoughtful. When I arrived home late they even turned some lights on for security. Lovely bed n breakfast in nice location and next to reserve where could run each morning or afternoon.
Lovely sheets
Cold bathroom
干净整洁,安静,房东很nice,自制饼干很好吃!
Fantastic stay with a lovely couple. I was warmly welcomed and felt right at home. Great location for what I wanted
Wonderful peaceful environment, and excellent attentive Hosts
As we are two tall people, a larger bed would have been awesome
Convenient access to supermarket (and laundromat), the apartment is very pleasant. Knowledgeable and thoughtful hosts who had good recommendations on local activities. We borrowed the bikes for some time on the cycle paths which was also very pleasant
Apartment can get quite hot in the afternoon (we were there in full summer so this is not surprising, but maybe plan to take your afternoons elsewhere)
While I only met Doug he was super friendly and welcoming. I loved the location as I was traveling with a trailer and could park in a safe street. Breakfast selection was good and homemade biscuits
Just to nitpick. I as used to a high pressure shower. The showers pressure in the unit was not as high as I’m used to
Jenny and Doug are incredibly accommodating and sweet, plus the food, drinks, facilities, and space they provided are lovely. Adorable dogs too!
The shower water pressure is a little weak, but it’s not a significant issue and it’s perfectly manageable.
Jenny and Doug are great hosts ! Very quiet and comfortable place with good value for money.
Doug and Jenny were very communicative and added many personal touches that made us feel right at home.
Les bons biscuits fait par Doug et Jenny
The hospitality is second to none and made the stay that much more enjoyable. The quiet location is away from the noise and distractions of the city allowing me to relax and unwind. Big tick for the homemade marmalade and cookies.
Nothing to say here.
The personal touch’s were amazing ie the home made cookies, jams and breakfast options. Fresh cut roses. The hosts were so lovely to deal with and had everything ready for us on our late arrival. Quiet neiberhood.
Wat een kanjers, heel behulpzaam met goede adviezen. Fijne verzorgingsproducten met verse bloemen in de kamer tot homemade cookies!😊
Super friendly and welcoming hosts. Lovely breakfast provisions. Would come back again

The property had everything I needed for my stay and was very cute, clean and comfortable. The hosts were lovely and had clearly gone to lots of trouble to ensure a positive experience, including the generous breakfast that was promised. Lovely homemade cookies and marmalade and other refreshments provided. The area was very quiet and just around the corner from Awapuni Racecourse where i was headed - so a great location. Thanks so much Jenny & Doug!
Nothing!
Great location, quiet and peaceful
Jenny and Doug were amazing. Lots of care into the place. Homemade goodies like cookies and marmalade from produce out the back garden. Awesome spot :)
Friendly hosts Jenny & Doug greeted us n arrival, fantastic host. Room had everything we needed. Home made biscuits supplied Breakfast included homemade jam & marmalade Furry friends were delightful

Ontbijt was super lekker, vriendelijke ontvangst, rustige omgeving!
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. It was cosy space wise but we were there for only one night. The breakfast was excellent as were the homemade cookies. The hosts are welcoming and friendly. We suggested perhaps a mat in the shower as I found it a bit slippery when getting out as it was a decent step down.
I did struggle with the access steps into the accommodation as there is no hand rail. My balance and mobility is not the best.
Es war ein total gemütliches Zimmer und die Lage war echt toll und es war total ruhig. Durch den Garten hat es immer total gut geduftet und das Frühstück war einfach aber total ausreichend. Es gab selbstgemachte Marmelade, Müsli und Kekse. Es war total liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen!
Nichts.
Great quiet location host are wonderful.
Jenny & Doug, along with their 2 small dogs, welcome you onto the property. Homemade cookies, jams & muesli are all part of making you feel like you are staying with family. A generous breakfast, yogurt, toast, condiments, plunger coffee & OJ set you up for a day of exploring Palmerston North. Situated within a quiet suburban area that is an easy commute to the CBD. Small details like Handmade soaps, natural shampoo/conditioner show the attention to detail that makes this property special. A memorable stay.
Jenny and Doug are excellent hosts, very welcoming and always provide an in-room excellent breakfast including home baked cookies and musli. Lovely garden. Thank you
Quiet, clean and tidy. Jenny and Doug are lovely welcoming people. Great homemade muesli and jams - everything was perfect. Loved the bed linen and hubby now thinks I should get new towels. Excellent toiletries supplied. We enjoyed meeting the very cute dogs as well
We had a great stay here. Place is clean, comfortable and cosy. The addition of the breakfast was great as were the cookies!!!. Jenny and Doug are great hosts, friendly and welcoming. Thank you - we will be back.
Quiet. Cosy. Friendly. Comfortable.
Hot water was almost scalding. Breakfast didn’t live up to advertisement. One overhead light bulb not working. Not enough coat hooks or shelves in Bart room.
Really nice people. The room was a good size and the breakfast choice was very good.
There was nothing we didnt like
Homemade muesli and baking
Not anything they can control - it was very chilly. They did have heaters and electric blankets.
The place is lovely. Everything is laid on for you and as a single traveler for work, I appreciated the kindness shown… the heater was on before I got there so the room was warm. And the lovely breakfast things and drink and milk in the fridge. I will be returning.
We had an excellent stay! Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The hosts were welcoming and communication was easy. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again!

Cosy and comfortable. Secure and easy access for parking.
A charming self contained unit with all the amenities for a very comfortable stay in a quiet residential neighbourhood. The owners Jenny and Doug are lovely, welcoming hosts and we had great communication with them before and during our stay. Breakfast offerings were plentiful and delicious. We also loved meeting their 2 very cute pups!
Location was handy to event we attended

Host were friendly and waiting for us when we arrived. Accommodation was clean and comfortable.
We had a lovely stay at Jenny and Doug's place. They were so kind, helpful and welcoming. The room was well appointed with the most lovely homemade muesli (among other things) provided for breakfast. It was marvellous to be able to park off the street and keep our car safe up the driveway. We found the bed really comfortable and thought that the linen was great. Jenny and Doug have thought of everything to make their wee space very accommodating. The location suited us perfectly and we will hope to book again. Thanks so much.

Location hosts were very welcoming. Price and the extras they did for you. Like understanding what time I would be back in the evenings. Like leaving the gate open and turning lights on.

Lovely friendly couple keen to make our stay pleasurable Continental breakfast includes home made Marmalade and Jam and mueslj which were delicious. Cookies were also great. New towels every day ,we stayed 4 nights and would stay again. My wife is fastidious and found it very clean and cosy.

"fruit juice" in fridge turned out to be orange drink - definitely not fresh. Shower should have a nonslip mat availalbe. Shower mixer is antique
host Doug was exceptional, offered to rinse the debris from the nights rain and wind off my car before I departed. well appointed lodging, very comfortable.
Wonderful amenities, very private, excellent host!
Nothing. It was great!
Very lovely place. Jenny and Doug were like grannys - you feel so welcome every time. We were able to enjoy fresh grapefruits from our garden, breakfast was excellent.
Exceptional Location. Owners were very helpful + pleasant. Thank you very much.

comfortable bed, nice linen, good breakfast
Shower tap and products are so high I couldn't reach them. I didn't like staff coming into the room every day when I am out. I would prefer to be asked if that's okay.
This is the second time we have stayed here - loved it the first time and just as good the second time. It is the perfect overnight accommodation for our stays in Palmerston North. friendly owners, very comfortable accommodation with lovely decor, lovely garden setting and delicious and generous breakfast - biscuits were a bonus too. Very generous provisions. Quiet area and easy to book-in and check-out. Highly recommended.
Delighted to have returned, we had a warm welcome from Doug and a very comfortable stay. Jenny's biscuits were especially good! Thank you both. Allan and Jayne
The B & B was set in a beautiful private garden. The room was very tasteful and thoughtfully set out, comfortable, quiet and the hosts very accommodating.
It could be a little too far out of town if you didn’t have transport, but I didn’t explore that option as I had a car.
The unit had everything one would need for an overnight stay. The provided continental breakfast was generous and a nice variety to choose from. Loved the homemade goodies of muesli and cookies. Also loved the little fur babies who came to greet us. I wished they could have stayed in the night with me. 😁 The hosts were very obliging moving their car early in the morning in the shared driveway thank you. ☺️
Not a dislike but an observation. The shower head has an included knob to turn on the water ( no taps) and could be considered a little high if someone was short in stature plus there is a reasonably high step up to get in the cubicle which also isn’t very wide.
Excellent price for a home away from home feel. Hosts are very friendly and service the room daily. A range of options for breakfast provided too.
The owners were very generous and accommodating of our every request, as we were in and out attending a National Hockey tournament which meant very early exits and late homecomings to a warm and cosy environment Advice about the area and facilities was excellent. In all, it was a delightful stay with them and the two small dogs who were so friendly,
There was not anything to dislike
Thank you for accommodating a last minute booking. Nice sized space, clean. Everything needed was available. Breakfast laid out. A really nice space.
It might be helpful for other guests to know: parking is right down the driveway and there is no space to turn around. I didn’t have a problem, but some people may prefer a firmer bed. If you have mobility issues, it might be helpful to know, there is a bit of a step up into the shower.
Nice friendly welcome, and felt like home away from home.
Showers Hot water pressure was low.
Exceptionally clean and tidy. A very friendly and warm welcome awaited. Very good breakfast with some home made items . Excellent location and quiet. Off street parking provided. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Only one minor point, the bed a little soft and roll together.
Beautiful looking, friendly owner, gorgeous soaps and breakfast looked lovely.
The bed was very uncomfortable, sagging mattress and made for a terrible broken night sleep and sore backs. Made it a very tough next day travelling.
Breakfast was cereal and/or toast. It was nice. The hosts were lovely.

It met expectations. Friendly owners, clean. Room pre-heated. Nice, hand-made cookies. Good wifi. Quiet location.
Our preference would have been a firmer bed. My wife, who is relatively short could hardly reach the shower rose.
Yummy muesli.
Really nice hosts.. clean and quiet with nice treats as extras.

This is an absolutely lovely place to stay in Palmerston North. It is clean and cozy and has everything you need. I like how it is down the back of the main home, so you feel private and have your own space. We didn't arrive until 4 pm, and the owners had turned the heater on for us. It was warm and cozy and there were homemade biscuits to enjoy with coffee. The breakfast provided was very generous, the muesli is delicious and the homemade marmalade is to die for!!!! The owners are very welcoming and their wee dogs are adorable.
Really clean and tidy. Really helpful hosts and not intrusive. Room really warm and cosy. And great could park my ute close and safely.
I had such a lovely stay at Doug and Jenny's. The place was immaculate and they were such kind and welcoming hosts. The breakfast was delicious and there were so many little thoughtful touches that made my stay extra special. Jenny's baking was delicious and Doug went the extra mile to drop me to my work. I would highly recommend a stay at Quiet Boutique Generous Breakfast.
I did not realize this was a unit at the back of a house. I thought it was a hotel. Big disappointment when I arrived. Also, they should take the "Generous breakfast out of the heading. Homemade muesli and yoghurt IMO is not a generous breakfast.
