There is little to add to the other five star reviews. This purpose built BB should truly be the model for every other BB. We would return in a minute, and we plan to recommend it to all our friends.

I fully endorse recent comments. The guest rooms are comfortable and the views from the communal room are wonderful. Fridge is stocked with drinks and cheese for the peckish and thirsty. Wifi available provided it is used sensibly. Evening meal was divine. Visitors' book worth a read as guests are encouraged to write a poetic entry. Very good advice on... More

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Poets Corner. We were so grateful to our hosts, Marg and John, for their warm welcome and the bottle of champagne in our room to help us celebrate the start of our honeymoon. The lodge is in a beautiful spot, high up on a hill overlooking the sea. We had delicious... More

The guest house has 4 units and a common living room with full kitchen that is for guests use. The rooms have no view but the living room has a lovely view of the forest and grounds with a distant...

The comfortable and luxurious accommodation, the delicious breakfasts, Marg's attention to detail and both their warm and generous hospitality made for... More

My wife and I spent a long weekend with Marg and John and it was a great experience. There are 4 rooms each side of a central courtyard which leads to a central living area with kitchen. The kitchen has homemade baking and other food and drinks which we could help ourselves to and the lounge has countless cds, dvds... More

The place is not easy to find but when you are there" what a magic place". The art of the hospitality is perfect. You seems to be in a family, listening the different stories of the place, listening the suggestions for the area. The design of the house is incredible and the terrace view is a dream. The confort is... More

This was our 2nd visit to New Zealand and to Poet's Corner in 2010. We couldn't resist it. Much has been written about the amazing view and the quality of the accommodation, which has just been redecorated. It's just excellent! However, what sets this lodge apart from many of the other excellent places where we have stayed in New Zealand... More
