Bayview Valley Lodge Bed & Breakfast

Sehr schöne und mit toller Aussicht gelegene Lodge mit sehr persönlicher Betreuung durch Host David der auch viele Tipps für Ausflüge parat hat. Man fühlt sich gleich willkommen und wird sehr herzlich begrüßt und umsorgt Sehr schöne Privatsphäre tolles Frühstück mit Aussicht. Vielen Dank ich würde wieder kommen.

The hospitality from the host, David, was exceptional. Our suite was perfect - very comfortable and well equipped, with a fantastic view. It was very private but David was on hand for a chat and for great advice as to activities and planning. We loved using the hot tub in the evening, looking at the stars. We cannot recommend this place highly enough - it is very special because of the personal service. David even provided a spade for our trip to the Hot Water beach!

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. Even with the extremely bad weather and the power outage, we felt safe, comfortable, and truly at home with you. The delicious food and your kindness and generosity made our stay extra special. We are very grateful for everything — especially for letting us stay one more night, as we were unable to leave Whitianga due to the cyclone and road closures — and we will remember this time with a big smile.

The property is up on the hill with a stunning view and a beautiful manicured garden overlooking Mercury Bay. There are 2 apartments on the property which are completely separate from each other. The owner, David Hall, prides himself on excellent service and we wholeheartedly can confirm this. The apartment is lovingly furnished, more like an upscale property and even china and glasses are made from crystal glass/ bone china, a great difference from most properties including luxury hotels. There is nothing missing from what you might need during your stay: packed beach bags with beach towels, nail clippers, sewing kit, sanitary pads, upscale local soap, shampoo, body wash, first aid kit etc. and a magnification mirror for those of us who can’t see well. The breakfast is served at a lovingly set table, English china. David bakes his own bread everyday and makes delicious scrambled which stand out. His granola fruit cup is wonderful as well. Last but not least, David is very knowledgeable about New Zealand and is the best source for any info you might need, independent whether it is about restaurants, shopping or the best way to get somewhere. He is never tired to help.

We are hard pressed to find anything, maybe a slightly softer pillow.

Fantastic views, exceptionally quiet, comfortable and well-appointed suite. Very helpful and attentive host.

Staying in this B&B from David is an opportunity you should not miss on. It is paradise, not only because of the spectacular view, but also because of the hot tub and the excellent hospitality! It is a short drive to restaurants and beautiful beaches. Also highlights like Cathedral Cove and Hot water Beach are a 30 minutes drive away. We were invited to a local neighbour party which made our stay even more special. It is an example how welcome we felt! We would love to go back once!

Everything! The cleanliness, the most comfortable bed, the view to-die-for from the bedroom & lounge room widows, the host - David - for his hospitality and advice of places to visit.

Having to say goodbye!

What a wonderful gem ! We enjoyed our stay immensely and have nothing but positive vibes of a memorable weekend !

Everything exceeded our expectations.

David was an amazing host. He helped make our stay very enjoyable even though the weather was inclement. Breakfast and homemade bread was excellent

Everything was perfect

Wonderful location and attentive host. Everything was perfect!

Stunning suite in a beautiful house ,David went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. From his exquisite breakfasts to activating the jacuzzi for a sunset dip, he really put an effort into making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible

The hospitality, views, food and overall atmosphere of the place was absolutely fantastic!

Location with views

Awesome view. Nice amenities and great hospitality from the host David.

No

Absolutely everything. This place is a very high value gem, from the location (which is exquisite) to the host, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. The property is a short and easy drive into the centre of town, where there is a great variety of bars, shops, restaurants, and activities to choose from. Overall, this is the place to stay at!

Nothing not to love.

Location and individuality. Beautifully presented

We loved everything about this property. The home was perfect, the host, David, was warm and welcoming. He goes out of his way to make us comfortable and well taken care of.

The stay at Bayview Lodge Bed & Breakfast was incredible. David was an exceptional host who went above and beyond to accommodate us. The spa was ready on request very promptly. He arranged dinner reservations for us and also made a beautiful scrambled egg on French bread each morning. I’ve spent most of the year travelling between NZ and Australia and this is one of my personal favourites. The perfect balance between accomodating and privacy with the most stunning view. A 10/10 stay!

Amazing view from the property. Warm host.

Great location with spectacular views of the bay from the bedroom, pool or breakfast/lounge area. Spa Pool is awesome with stunning night or day views. Room is comfortable, with all necessities and heaps of luxury supplies. David is a master at hosting and makes guests feel absolutely welcome, with friendly chats and tons of activity, dining and entertainment recommendations. Privacy was never an issue when we needed it.

Nothing to fault here.

The view was amazing! Property was beautiful and everything was thoughtfully provided for a pampered stay.

I didn't get to stay long enough, the place makes you not want to leave.

Host went above and beyond welcoming us, promoting the region and creating a homey environment.

Peaceful and epic scenery. Attention to detail.

It was lovely

We have travelled the world and our experience at Bayview lodge ranks with the best. The breakfast table was a work of art with a view to match! The attention to detail throughout the property was a credit to David, who was a superb host. We stayed in the upstairs suite with stunning views of the bay and surrounds. We relaxed in the spa and enjoyed the gorgeous gardens. If you are thinking of visiting this part of the world we would highly recommend staying in this wonderful place!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

This bed and breakfast is defined by its host. David is a fantastic human being, he understands the delicate balance between service and privacy, and allows you to feel comfortable in asking for a restaurant recommendation, to get the spa ready, to wash some hiking gear, and all the other wonderful peace of mind enhancements he offers. To top it all off - this place really does have a "bay view", and a breathtaking one at that!

The amazing view from The Tūī Suite, & the Spa pool.

Beautiful property, excellent amenities, quiet, peaceful, easy access to town but situated in a quiet neighborhood. David is a superb host! Very attentive, knowledgeable, and generous. I had an amazing stay and can’t wait to return.

Exceptional views and service from David Perfect place for a quiet, peaceful getaway Highly recommend

The view and comfy bed

Not that private, basic cutlery and plates not in room for use, couldnt use the spa pool when we liked even though no one else wanted to use it.

Absolutely spectacular view from this immaculate and well equipped B&B. Our gracious host provided great suggestions on what to do, helped with dinner reservations, and provided us with a wonderful stay. He has thought of everything! From luscious bedding to chilled water to turn down service, this is five star service! The view is so stunning and we enjoyed the most relaxing time just looking out at the scenery. Highly recommend!!

Truthfully, nothing. This is a spectacular setting!

It was all the small details that one wouldn't expect. The colourful conversations that made it interesting and the extra attention to details that made is absolutely unforgettable.

David is a fantastic, kind and attentive host. He goes above and beyond to make your stay wonderful.

Exceptional stay with a lot of attention of our host

The view was spectacular! You could see right down into the bay and it was a perfect view for a sunrise. David is an amazing host, where nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful breakfast with crystal glasses and dishes, everything perfectly laid out. The spa was set up perfectly for us to relax after the long day of sightseeing

To stay longer!!!

Fabulous stay. Luxury accommodation with stunning views. Best of all was the host, David is a lovely person who goes above and beyond to ensure his guests needs are met. He has vast experience as a travel advisor and bespoke tour booking agent and is able to help and advise with the discerning clients travel plans. Highly recommended and would shift future travel plans just to return there again.

This place exceeded our expectations. It's an amazing place to just relax and unwind. And it's fine to just stay there and do absolutely nothing and soak up the view all day. David has been the best host and giving us tips and recommendations. He is very friendly and approachable. High recommend!

Nothing!

David was a lovely host, and despite the rainy weather, he helped ensure a pleasant and fun stay. The room and bed were comfortable and David's breakfast was wonderful. The bed and breakfast has a lovely garden at the top of a hill with a beautiful view of the bay.

The place was spotless, amazing views, very comfortable and all amenities catered for. Above and beyond our expectations.

This is a great place to stay. David our host was very welcoming, everything you would want from a stay away was considered and available. Spectacular view from our room and outside breakfast and hot tub area. Delicious breakfast and wonderful service. Excellent location. Highly recommended.

awesome location, amazing host

wasn’t long enough

David is new Zeelands response to Siri. He knows every road around the area and exactly how many minutes it takes to get anywhere. Many good local recommendations. The breakfast and the view was great. But we had big issues both nights with the room being way too hot so we could barely sleep which is not the best for a road trip, driving around sleep deprived. The second night I just slept on the couch in the living room which was way cooler. If some AC or better ventilation would be installed this place would go from a 2/5 to 4.5/5.

Relaxing, comfortable, high quality B&B, lovely hosts, welcoming, interesting and informative. Easy access to Cathedral Cove which is stunning and great scenery to the north
