Dovecote House Bed and Breakfast

Peace and quiet. Loved the tour of the garden, very informative and learnt a lot. Enjoyed home cooked dinner and continental breakfast with home made bread , assorted home made jellies and jams. Thank Nathan and Tim and what amazing hosts you have been!

Fantastic accomodation, a big thank you to Nathan and Tim for beeing such amazing hosts and making this place a truely 'home away from home'! We really enjoyed our few days at this place. It's very peacefull and quiet and the food is amazing too (yummy bread and great home made jams). Thank you and looking forward to staying again :)

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.""

Nathan and Tim, the owners, made our visit cosy and comfortable. The food was wonderful and the gardens beautiful. We lived the little kitten,Halyn who loved to cuddle. What a lucky find for us!

We had a lovely stay for our last night in New Zealand. Got massages there and so glad we did! Now we are starting our trip back relaxed and far less sore from our adventures!

We stayed at Dovecote House B&B for four days and it couldn't have been a better start of our travels through New Zealand. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom is really nice, breakfast was delicious with all the homemade jams and jellies and wayy too many tea flavors ;) On top of that the garden is so beautiful and the surroundings are quiet and peaceful, which was perfect as we were still adjusting after the jetlag. We enjoyed the dinner made by Nathan, who even made a beautiful bouquet with flowers from the garden since it was our anniversary that day. Oh and not to forget the cats, they were so cute and curious, we loved them. Nathan and Tim are wonderful hosts and we absolutely enjoyed staying in their gorgeous home.

The best Bed and Breakfast that my wife and I have ever been to!Nathan and Tim are the most deliteful people. They have crafted a beautiful atmosphere through hard work, skill, and passion. I especially loved the fragrant scents from the flowers in the garden, the sound of the Doves in the morning, and the charm from the way the house has been stylized.We are thankful we had the opportunity to spend two nights here.I'd recommend trying the homemade jelly with their homemade bed during breakfast - it's truly delicious.-Andrew and Kaitlyn

Thank you Nathan and Tim make the place very beautiful andHouse very nice and clean and we got room see garden view, we so happy to stay there , We have no more to say it just so good , Will see you agin for sure,

Our stay at Dovecote House really made our recent trip to Auckland.Nathan and Tim looked after us - and spoiled us - from the time we arrived to the time we left. We loved all the extras: being picked up and dropped off to the airport, dinner, massage. I even bought a plant!Dovecote House is adorable and it doesn't feel like it's near a big city. We will be back.
