One of the 3 best B&Bs we had during our 33 day driving tour of New Zealand! Interesting home, comfortable room, charming hosts, gourmet breakfast. I wish we could have stayed longer. Brian and Frances are very comfortable with conversation, which is the biggest reason we chose to stay at B&Bs. Brian has a biting English humor (think John Cleese... More

The house is lovely and the rooms really comfortable and charming. The breakfast is wonderful with home made jams and everything you may want. You may choose bedrooms with ensuite bathroom or not, and even a private cottage in the garden with spa tub. The owners are really great people, and the cafés and restaurants arround are very good More

Couldn't agree more with all the other rave reviews of Teichelmann's - charming historic house, easy to find, parking right in front of the gate, short walk to main street and beach (for absolutely sensational sunset!), welcome tea & cake, delicious cooked breakfast, lovely cosy rooms with bathrobes, nice bright bathrooms with toiletries (we were offered a choice of rooms)........

My wife and I stayed over for a night and we thoroughly enjoyed the company of Brian and Frances, who are very hospitable people. While our initial impression was of disappointment given there's no TV in the room (or anywhere else in the house), this was quickly mitigated by the hospitality of both hosts. One thing that we appreciated very... More

I think I must have suffered an early senior's moment by not writing a review after staying at the fabulous Teichelmann's B & B in February this year. It was a very bad time for NZ's South Island, we checked in for 2 nights the day after the terrible earthquake in Christchurch. We were feeling a bit rattled but our... More

We stayed in the lovely Teichelmann's B&B for one night in June and had only one regret - that we could not stay longer in this original & cosy place for more nights because of our tight itinerary. It was so cosy we didn't want to leave and the owners made us feel truly at home. The bedroom and sitting... More

We don't usually stay at B&Bs as we often find there can be a huge variance in standards but this one is right up there at the top. Very warm welcome when we arrived. We were shown around the property by Brian and as they weren't full, we were allowed to change our room to a larger one without any... More

beautiful place with elegant and nice hosts. it's hard to believe this is already a 100+ years old house, very well maintained with touches of history, culture and classy details. a bit expensive though. More

At Teichelmann's a warm welcome awaits you by your hosts Frances and Brian, with tea or coffee and homemade biscuits. They are a delightful couple and nothing is too much trouble. The Carnegie room was the one we booked and it was superb, comfortable, light and airy with an excellent bathroom. We loved the soaps and bath wash. Quality at... More
