Jen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean. Convenient economical. Most places have a sheet about their facilities. This was advertised as bed and breakfast. There was a kitchen but there was a prominent notice "Kitchen facilities to be used by staff only". (Quoted from memory. Probably referring to equipment. I just wanted cereal and milk, but with that "rule" I left with no breakfast and bought on the road. If bed and breakfast the breakfast shold be findable.

I always enjoy my stays at the Braemar House . Its also a historical building with a fascination history . Its in beautiful condition and an excellent presentation of the old charm of New Zealand not found in modern architecture . Cozy area for group meetings in the patio area and ample size kitchen for gatherings to prepare food . Love it .
Mitchell, 2-night trip

Lovely older style b&b, and staff were friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, set with furniture consistent with the age of the building. Bed very comfortable. Access to tea and coffee, but no breakfast available. Could use youth hostel kitchen between 8am and 8pm.
