6/10 Good

Pleasant staff, but the courtyard bedroom was small and the bathroom cramped to say the least. Considering most visitors were in transit and had a lot of luggage there wasn’t any room to spread out. ‘Glamorous breakfast’ was a stretch! Coffee, juice and eggs were good but in a country that prides itself on fresh produce why was the fruit tinned?

Great location
Bijou courtyard rooms, we knew that when we did our research. It wasn’t a problem, you just need to be organised! We had one breakfast which we feel was limited. Continental with eggs. It was boiled or boiled eggs. Mine were cold and hard boiled. No meats or continental cheeses. The courtyard area is very pleasant and we enjoyed a drink in the sun on both days we were there. Overall a good stay, excellent location, friendly staff but a breakfast that needs improving.

Super cute property. The room, especially the bathroom was very small, and could use some blackout curtains for the long summer days and early sunrise. Great staff and wine bar.

It was a cute but tiny room for the price. I found a dirty tissue under my pillow which wasn’t mine so I felt pretty uncomfortable about the cleanliness of the room

Great place to stay
Lovely heritage building on the outskirts of town with great views of the bay. Fantastic continental breakfast. Amazing hosts.

The property was ok. Nothing special. The outside is cute, as is the garden. The lobby area is nice. Rooms are tiny and lack soundproofing. There are no screens on the windows, which probably explains the insects in the room and bites I woke up with. There’s not a single shelf or drawer to put clothes in. The shower is contiguous with the bathroom so everything gets wet when the shower is used. The check-in staff person was probably tired when we got there at 5:30 but in any event she seemed to know nothing about the area and was just in a hurry for us to leave. I’m still giving it a 3 because it met basic expectations.

We had a fantastic time at KBH. The staff are great, breakfast very good and the location excellent. Special thanks to Jen who went out of way to get me an adapter and always had a cheer smile when you met her! Will definitely go back again when visiting NZ
