A real gem of a b&b! Lovely place to stay with easy access into town and a friendly greeting from the owners :D breakfast was great too with fresh local produce and we were even given a couple of freshly baked muffins for the drive away!

The hosts at this B&B were quite simply a lovely couple who made us so welcome from the minute we got there. We wished we had booked to stay longer. The room was good with a large separate bathroom and toilet down the corridor for our exclusive use. The breakfast was excellent. Wholehearted recommended and if travelling the west coast make a detour to stay- you will not regret it.

Ian and Jan are very welcoming and the accommodation is in excellent repair. We stayed in the Annex, which had its own kitchenette for sandwich preparation, lunch or tea. The breakfast was excellent.
Restaurants and bars are without an easy walking distance.

Our short stay in Westport was fantastic. It was interesting to walk around the old town and try the local walks as enlightened to us by our amazing host - Ian and Jan. We felt at home with Ian and Jan - nothing is too much trouble. We would recommend their B & B to other travellers...

Ian and Jen were warm and inviting and made sure our stay was a wonderful experience. Our room was very comfortable and private. They served us a wonderful breakfast as well. It was a great experience.
Welcoming hosts (Jan & Ian), nice facilities, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was spectacular...we were even provided with a take away morning tea muffin! If you are looking for the perfect b&B, this is it! Kay Perth
Lovely Hosts, Very helpful - private bathroom but no en-suite.
Provided a great breakfast with options. When we left they gave us some muffins for our trip.
Can't comment on area as we stayed for one night only to break journey from Franz Josef to Nelson. Ian & Jan were perfect hosts and so welcoming that we wished we had booked for a week.
Ein ganz wunderbarer Aufenthalt, sehr sehr nette Gastgeber, schönes Zimmer und moderne sehr schöne Badezimmer, Dusche und Toilette. Wir haben alles sehr genossen und erst das Frühstück am nächsten Morgen mit netten Gesprächen mit den Gastgebern und reichlich tollem Essen. Der Lemon-Honey war spitze !!! Wir fühlten uns total willkommen.

Ystävällinen ja avulias isäntäväki. Maittava ja monipuolinen aamiainen. Sijainti lähellä kaupunkikeskustaa, silti rauhallisessa paikassa. Siisti ja mukava majoituspaikka; tosin vessa, suihku ja kylpyhuone olivat eri tiloissa mutta silti toimivat ja lähellä.
Si vous êtes dans les parages n'hésitez pas : c'est the place to be !
Les propriétaires sont vraiment gentils et adorables !
Chambre et salles de bains impeccables.
Petit déj qu'on n'oubliera jamais (comme les 2 muffins faits maison qui nous ont offert en partant !).
Vraiment comme à la maison !
Ian and Jan are the best. She served us an early breakfast because we would tavel early in the morning. We loved them.

So ein netter Empfang..... super nett und zuvorkommend. Mit Infos wurde man förmlich überschüttet. Das Frühstück liebevoll und reichhaltig. Mehr kann man sich nicht wünsche. Das Zimmer war anscheinend ganz neu eingerichtet und super sauber.
