Outstanding location, only surpassed by the the beautifully presented accommodation. The hosts John and Joan are a credit to NZ. Concentrating on comfort and quality, they provide a holiday experience to be remembered, with a lovely touch of class. I would recommend this as the best B&B I have ever stayed in, and will be recommending to anyone going to... More

This charming B&B has full ocean views and a quiet location. The facilities are excellent and the owners cordial. The room has its own access, is spacious and well equipped. Adjoining is a private garden to relax in. Very good value. More

This was our first stop on a two week tour of South Island during the Rugby World Cup. We arrived on a cold and rainy day and found this warm and comfortable oasis with stunning views. It was a great base for visiting the area and John and Joan were the perfect hosts, inviting us to watch one of the... More

A seaside oasis with everything! Spotless, well appointed, sensational views ( even when it is raining), and best of all - fantastic hosts. It was a pity that we didn't allow for extra night in our itinerary. Highly recommended for couples looking to "chill out". More

2 nights at Molyneux House was just what we needed after a busy schedule travelling around the south island in NZ. Accommodation consists of defined bathroom, sleeping, eating, cooking and seating areas (the latter inside & out!!). The view from two large patio windows is breathtaking; overlooking the south pacific ocean. John and Joan our hosts are very friendly and... More

Molyneux House, a B&B, was an unexpected delight. It small but beautifully presented, with everything you'd want and a wonderful view. Huge windows look out from a cozy sitting area and you even have a little deck. The road is between you and the sea but you can barely see it and there's virtually no cars- it's so peaceful. The...

A wonderful location with ocean views, on the edge of the quiet town of Kaka Point. The hosts were welcoming & the suite was emaculately presented. The owner has a flair for interior decorating, which makes this a special place. The suite opens onto its own deck, with private access to the street. The kichenette is small & functional. The...

My family (1 teenager) stayed two nights at this lovely bed & breakfast. The sizeable self-contained (your own entrance/exit) unit has a full kitchen with en-suite bathroom (shower only). The unit has an unobstructed view (ocean-facing) of the ocean and you are greeted (assuming good weather) each morning with a beautiful sunrise. Beautiful beaches and a short drive to view... More
