Everything was great : the hosts were so nice, the breakfast so good, .. We really enjoyed it ! Should you plan to go to Tairua, we definitely recommend this B&B !

Great hosts. The comfortable bed, wonderful breakfast taylored to our taste and the very helpful local knowledge meant that we could maximise our enjoyment of the stay. The facilities were just what was required and the views from the rooms quite stunning. We wish Bob and Jenny good guests in their final season and a wonderful and well earned retirement... More

Very clean, beautiful bed & breakfast in a wonderful environment. Possibility for beautiful walks with breathtaking views. Would have liked to stay there longer.

Our room was the Tui Room, which had a lovely balcony onto a garden. We felt wonderfully relaxed and peaceful while we were there. We highly recommend this lovely bed and breakfast.

We stayed a couple of nights in mid-January and Colonial Homestay was probably the best B&B we stayed at during five weeks in NZ. What can one say other than Bob and Jenny they run their business very professionally and are very hospitable hosts. Breakfast was fabulous, with the freshest of ingredients, lots of choice and home made bread and... More

We stayed here on our honeymoon in 2004, and still talk about it since Bob and Jenny made it so memorable. Upon finding out it was our honeymoon, they broke out the champagne to celebrate with us!
