Amberlea B&B

Decent stay after a long day drive, quiet and good enough for a good night sleep.

Mediocre on everything, rooms are cold, even with the heat blanket.

Real value for money, especially with the breakfasts on offer. The home-made touches eg needlework, glasswork, stonework. Hosts are top notch, down to earth -not toffee-nosed.

Fabulous 👌

Cozy place ❤️

I had a generally pleasant stay. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel comfortable and relaxed. The breakfast was good, with fresh and tasty options. Overall, my stay was enjoyable. That said, it’s worth noting that this is essentially a regular house where rooms are rented out, each with its own bathroom. Because of that, it doesn’t offer the same level of privacy as a typical hotel. If you’re looking for complete privacy or a very quiet environment, you might feel slightly disappointed. The shared breakfast with the hosts is, on one hand, a nice and somewhat unique experience that adds to the homely atmosphere. On the other hand, it may feel a bit uncomfortable if you prefer to eat quietly without much interaction.

Wij verbleven in de tweepersoonskamer met eigen badkamer, schoon. Prima kamer en badkamer op de eerste verdieping. Daar is ook een zitje voor de gasten, met o.a. koelkast en tv. Het ontbijt was voortreffelijk. Je zit met de andere gasten aan 1 tafel. Geeft leuke gesprekken. Gastheer en gastvrouw voorzien je van goede tips, ze zijn erg vriendelijk. Het is ongeveer 10-15 minuten lopen naar centrum.

Breakfast was excellent

Everything excellent. Owners, breakfast, room, location, cats.

A really comfortable home-from-home. Friendly owners. Lovely breakfast. Good location.

We loved our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and Sharon and Butch were exceptionally kind and helpful hosts. The breakfast was delicious. We also really enjoyed getting to meet the lovely pets of the house.

The hospitality of the host and everything was clean and comfortable

Everything! Hosts were incredible, so welcoming, great cooked breakfast with the best poached eggs ever! Upstairs communal area was handy with teas and coffees and space to relax with all the pets (mostly Milo). Fully recommend.

Everything was great, comfortable bed and shower. Great hosts and breakfast.

The house was really well set up, with adequate sized bedroom and nice (communal) sitting room.

Excellent. Good choices and well presented

Nothing I can think of

Very comfortable and great location. Sharon and Butch were amazing, and the breakfast was brilliant. Sharing the bathroom was very easy, and there is a nice area to sit and have a cuppa

Großes Zimmer, ruhige Lage und alles sehr sauber. Freundliche Gastgeber.

Butch和Sharyn非常友善，房屋非常整洁温馨，期待下次入住

Terrific stay Sharon and Butch are a welcoming couple of hosts and have really nailed what a B&B should be, wonderful stay

That is had to leave :(

Everything!!! Everything was of high quality with great attention to detail. It was very conveniently located for the town. The house was spacious with a beautiful, well-kept garden. There was on site parking. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating and they’d thought of everything to make our stay of a very high quality. There was a pleasant communal guest lounge. Lovely choices at breakfast and well organised.

Nothing.

Die Freundlichkeit der Hosts!

Very comfortable stay with very friendly hosts

Butch and Sharon went over and above with a super breakfast. They were very helpful in suggesting sights to visit and where to go for dinner.

Super clean, nice looking, comfortable room. The owners are lovely people and even kindly gave me a lift to town as they were heading in. Location is quiet and you can easily walk or drive into town. Breakfast was tasty with lots of options. Loved my stay here!

Sehr nette Vermieter die auch gute Tipps gegeben haben. Sehr leckeres Frühstück zusammen mit den anderen Gästen. Gemeinschafts Kühlschrank.

Im Zimmer ohne eigenes Bad etwas wenig Platz für die Handtücher.

Everything cooked perfectly and lovely to chat with the host over breakfast.

Bed 1 seemed great. Bed 2 was a bit old and saggy

Amazing breakfast. Superb hosts

I don’t think there’s anything that could be improved on

Extremely nice hosts, good breakfast, comfortable bed, being at home feeling

Beautiful garden and light and airy spacious room. Super clean and comfortable. A wonderful breakfast - and lots of helpful advice and information from Sharyn and Butch. We loved the cats and dogs 🥰 We had a shared bathroom which wasn’t a problem at all. Easy walk along the river into Hokitika centre and sea front.

Clean with good facilities. Pleasant and obliging hosts. Great breakfast included

Minor gripe, not good food/refreshment prep facilities in guest area. Bathroom shared with potentially 7 others (only 4 on this occasion)

The premises were beautiful and the facilities great, lovely to have a separate lounge for guests and the cat was a bonus!

Nothing

Very clean, comfortable, spacious - and very friendly hosts. Would recommend!

Breakfast was very good. The folks were friendly and helpful. The home was perfectly clean and very much like home.

Nothing really. Parking was tight but that was about it.

Awesome hosts

Warm and inviting home. Clean and comfortable rooms. Added plus were the attentive hosts and their darling pets. Our stay was short. We enjoyed the breakfast and felt spoiled.

In a quiet location, but still within walking distance to the township, we enjoyed the spacious garden, super-clean room, friendly hosts and cute resident dogs and cats.

Nothing to dislike.

Super friendly hosts with friendly cats and dogs! Easy parking Good location Great breakfast Separate guest lounge with lots of home comforts and great array of hot drinks available to make plus cookies too!

Room not the biggest but well laid out

Velmi mily a ochotny personal. Ubytovani je kousek od centra mesta v tiche a klidne oblasti.

Host were friendly and breakfast was tasty. Walking distance to town and well-equipped common area.

Friendly and professional hosts. Clean, comfortable room.

The house was spacious and spotlessly clean, and Butch & Sharon were so welcoming of all the guests coming into their home. They truly went above and beyond in caring for us, and I would not hesitate to recommend Amberlea to anyone considering a visit. If it’s available, book it right away - you won’t be disappointed! We were also able to rent 2 good quality, well maintained mountain bikes from them, at an excellent rate. There are several lovely local cycle routes and trails to explore, and we were glad that the rain held off for us to have a great afternoon. Many thanks again.

Nothing at all - everything is of an excellent standard, both in the facilities and the care of guests.

A nice couple

設備與環境都很完整且乾淨，房東非常親切，寵物很有友善，環境的植物很美。整體很高級。

Really comfortable with friendly hosts.

No issues

Bardzo zadbane miejsce - prywatny dom z wydzielonym piętrem dla gości. Gościnni i troskliwi Gospodarze - cudowne zwierzęta. Czysto i urokliwie - blisko spacerem na plażę.

Very kind owners and delicious breakfast

The breakfast was great. Butch and Sharyn were welcoming as was one, in particular, of their three cats.

The whole experience was great. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful without being pushy. The property was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Town was a fifteen minute walk with several places to eat and amazing driftwood art on the beach

Extremely friendly and helpful owners, Butch and Sharon, went out of their way to make our stay homely and help us out at every turn. I was sad to leave we enjoyed meeting them and our stay so much. Immaculately clean, spacious, great shower, yummy breakfast, comfortable beds - the list goes on.

innanzitutto accoglienza cordiale e gentile ed amichevole è un B&B curato, pulito, con area comune per gli ospiti dove prendersi anche un caffè o farsi un the o una tisana, ottima e abbondante la colazione preparata alla mattina e da vivere insieme agli stessi proprietari e agli ospiti

Everything was superb

Butch made a wonderful breakfast. Sharyn made us feel like home. Easy drive into town and for day trip to the seal colony on Cape Foulwind on Tauranga Bay and the Pancake Rocks. Butch can also do shoe repair.

Our hosts were so helpful and welcoming. Their home is absolutely immaculate and they have thought of everything to make their guests feel comfortable. Breakfast was delicious we enjoyed exploring Hokitika.

Nothing can be improved

We only got to stay one night, but absolutely loved Amberlea. The house was immaculatly clean, and perfectly laid out as a B'n'B with large rooms and comfortable tasteful common areas. Exceptional hosts who offered great suggestions for activities and food. They were very gracious and welcoming and set the tone for a great stay. The cooked breakfast was an absolute highlight and had us lamenting the fact we couldn't stay longer as we drove away. 100% would stay again and recommend to anyone staying in Hokitika.

Excellent welcoming hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Good location.

Nothing

Beautiful and well run B&B, grounds and house are lovely and Sharyn and Butch are charming as well. Highly recommend this spot. If you don’t have car, ask in advance if they are available to pick up or drop as they kindly offer.

The warm welcome, the location and the full English breakfast.Highly recommended for a couple of nights in Hakitiki .

A shared bathroom /toilet .

Breakfast was very generous and delicious, with a variety of selection on offer. Location is in a very tranquil and peaceful setting only a short walk from the beach and town centre.

Absolute gorgeous home with beautiful gardens surrounding it. Everything was spotlessly clean!

Lovely hosts and very nice breakfast in the AM. Enjoyed getting to play with the dogs and pet the cat as we love animals. Room was comfortable and they had a lounge area upstairs with puzzles, a mini-fridge and the shared bathroom was kept very clean.

The common area carpet upstairs has a bit of a pet accident smell that we noticed when we first came in. Having owned indoor pets, I know it's incredibly hard to get those to go away, but it could be a turn off if you are sensitive to it.

Puhtaus, ystävällinen perhe

最喜歡屋主的熱情招待，洗澡水也很好洗，床鋪柔軟

Yummy breakfast, great hosts. Beautiful gardens and setting. Comfy bed. Easy access to town centre.

We liked everything. Butch was more than generous with his time. The cats make it feel like home and the library in town is top notch. The river quay is a calming walk and the pier is lined with history.

The location was handy, just a short drive to town, it was quiet, rooms were clean and had everything you need, and the grounds were very nice. Breakfast was delicious, and the hosts were friendly and very kind!

Nothing, everything was great!

Butch and Sharyn were perfect hosts. Friendly and very approachable. Lovely spacious rooms and lounge area too. Tasty breakfast with plenty of choice. Good chance to swap stories round the table with hosts and fellow guests.

Nothing to dislike.

We felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. The room and bathroom were spotless, and everything was beautifully maintained. Breakfast was simply amazing, eggs prepared in several different ways, muesli, toast, and so much more; nothing was lacking. The plums were absolutely outstanding. Sharyn and Butch are truly wonderful, warm, and welcoming hosts. We wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation! Gaby & Rene, Switzerland
