This was our second stay at the Bellrock and once again we had a great time, the rooms are just perfect with outstanding views of the bay, just to sit and watch the sun go down heavenly. The fixtures and furnishing in the rooms are all top class, Peter and Lorraine are the perfect hoists, so very welcoming and friendly,... More

We are always thrilled when guests come to stay for a second visit, it lets us know that we are doing something right, so thank you for becoming repeat guests and for the great review. We must say it is amazing how you sometimes just "click" with guests and that you do become good friends is such a short time. More

We very much enjoyed our stay at Bellrock B&B in February 2013. The room had a gorgeous view of the Bay of Islands and the town of Russell, with a beautiful sunset extending into our room each evening. The accommodations were comfortable, modern and clean.

Excellent place to stay at the Bay of Islands in NZ's north island. Wonderful hosts. Superb outlook and close to the water and good restaurants. A launching place for a most enjoyable cruise out to the Hole in the Rock. Highly recommended.
