Dovecote House Bed and Breakfast

Mar 9th, 2023

I travel *a lot* -- so when I say that this was the best B&B stay I've ever experienced, this is really saying something. The place is beautiful, with decorator touches that constantly had me doing double-takes. This is a comfy, lived-in, old-fashioned home with so many custom and artistic touches that you'll find yourself with hundreds of photos to sort through by the time you leave. The garden is breathtaking, designed and maintained by the B&B host with a degree in horticulture. The location is spectacular, with its gate opening onto a paved footpath that takes you directly to the beach. The food is wonderful -- be sure to let your hosts know what things you prefer or have always wanted to try! The current chief resident is the cutest kitten you've ever seen. But most important of all is that the hosts are delightfully friendly, very accommodating, delightful people: ready to give you all the space you need or to hang out, if that's what you want to do. Whether for a stress-reduction weekend, a couples retreat (complete with a hot tub and an on-location massage), or a place to work in solitude (bring your laptop and enjoy their nice Wi-Fi in their gorgeous guest lounge) -- this is the place you want to stay if you are planning a visit to Auckland. Seriously: you are going to catch yourself referring to it as "home."

No place like Home! Nathan and Tim are wonderful hosts, and being stranded here at Dovecote House during cyclone Gabrielle was nothing short of a miracle. They treat guests like family, they accommodate on every level (not only breakfast, but dinner, lunch, rides to airport, answers to my questions at anytime, etc.). I stumbled upon this place online, grabbed it, and so glad I did. The local hikes to beach and hillside are lovely. The kitties are sweet, and the doves are beautiful. Also, Nathan is a naturopath, so if you book ahead, you can get a natural health treatment as well! Truly Im in heaven; dont hesitate to book here. Grateful And Nathan is a gourmet cook, food is healthy and tastes fabulous!
