Carole and Richard leave nothing to chance at Eden House. Views are fantastic, meals are out of this world, accommodations are cozy and the setting is ideal for relaxation! Upon arrival, Richard asked what we intended to see while in Whangarei. Of course we had way to much planned for our three days. He and Carole had prepared one day... More

We spent seven days in this resort. Lovely hosts: Carole & Richard. They prepared excellent meals. It is really a piece of paradise: so beautiful; quiet; wonderful view from the balcony; nice garden and a very special own native tree forest. We can recommend this for 100%!

Hi Winfried and Evelyn, What a lovely review, thank you so much. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. It was of equal pleasure to us and the time went so quickly. I trust that spring in Holland is all blooming with your lovely tulips? We have just had a few nice warm days though I had... More

We travelled NZ for 3 over weeks. This was our first B&B and it set a very high standard. It is a bit out of town but the views are superb and the room, food and hospitality were excellent. We asked for an evening meal for the first night and that was also very good.

Richard and Carole are wonderful hosts. The rooms are beautiful with lots of individual character. Spotlessly clean but not sterile. A wealth of books, dvds and conversation when wanted. The garden is a little piece of paradise. The bush walk is a must for all especially if not from NZ. The meals were great! The food was lovely and the... More

Hi Dave and Pernina, So thrilled at your review. Thank you so much for taking the trouble and time for us. It's one of the things that makes it all worth while. It's always a little sad as we say goodbye to guests. We trust you had a great trip back to Auckland? We've awoken to nice skies again this... More

The house of Eden was a wonderful place to stay. Richard showed us our room and the view was just breath taking. You step out on the balcony with a wonderful view of their gardening and all the tropical forest around. I have a beautiful picture of the full moon right outside that balcony at night when we stayed. Truly... More

We stayed at Eden House the first night of our trip and it couldn't have been better. After a long flight and drive, we arrived at dusk and were greeted at the door by Richard & Carole, the lovely couple who run the place. A brief tour of the property and we were shown our room, a large space right... More

We spent 3 days and nights during the RWC last october and we really appreciated the quiet, warm hospitality, beautiful house, good breakfast and relaxed atmosphere. We recommend this place as we had a very pleasant time at Eden House.

Richard and Carole greeted us warmly on our arrival. Our room was clean, neat and tidy with a view to die for! The guest facilities are excellent with pool, television room (with a library of DVDs) and a general invite to make ourselves at home and to use the house as our own. They gave us a lot of local...
