We stayed at Bendamere House after a 17-day tour of New Zealand and planned or it to be an opportunity to wind down after a fast-paced tour. That is exactly what it was. The view from our room included the ocean and the mountains. With the unique location, you feel like you are right on the beach, even though the... More

Great location with views of mountains and sea across the garden. Comfortable well planned room for bed and breakfast with private entrance. Within easy reach of whale watching boats and flights. Excellent continental + breakfast.

After a long drive along the coast we arrived in this fantastic house with excellent views across immaculate lawn and garden to the ocean and to the snow topped mountains. Our room was separate from the main house. The room was clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. Julie was very kind and gave us a lot of information where to... More

After we reserved our room, we immediately received email from Julie confirming and offering to pick us up at the train station. When we arrived at the facility we were impressed with the view, the cleanliness of the room, the beautiful gardens and the homemade shortbread cookies. Unfortunately my wife twisted her knee on one of our outings making it... More

Rooms are very well maintained.Julie and Kerry (thanks a lot for the crayfish, Kerry!) give all support wanted, but as all rooms have separate entrances there is enough privacy left.

We (2 couples) enjoyed the upper floor rooms for two nights. Julie was there to greet us, show us the rooms, give us an overview of the area's restaurants and attractions. We loved our stay there and the wonderful views of the ocean. The rooms were pristine, the breakfasts enjoyable with homemade muffins and fresh fruit salad. It was quite... More

Great rooms and location. Julie is a friendly and helpful host who homebakes muffins each day for you to take out with you and her short-bread is to die for. A graden with stunning views and beautiful roses. Just a 5 minute walk to town and restaurants.

Bendamere is the nicest place we have ever stayed. Stunning views of the South Pacific and the snow-covered Kaikoura Range; rose gardens galore; a lovely lawn on which to read; and an immaculate, quiet room with a king-sized bed and a deck. Julie was a delightful hostess, sending us off with home-baked muffins and shortbread every day and full of... More
