Each of our stays in NZ was better than the previous one on our month long itinerary but Spellbound B&B is a special treat.

Spent one night at Spellbound over Easter weekend. From the moment we arrived and were served tea and biscuits on the deck overlooking the water, we had an excellent experience.
