Marvelous bed and breakfast. The hosts are extremely welcoming and good fun. Beautiful old house backing on to a lovely and fairly secluded bay. A lot of care and attention goes into the operation here, from the furnishings to the fantastic food and booze offerings. You probably need a car as this place is a little removed from the centre, but it's pretty much 30 minutes to both airport and CBD. Would certainly return.

Charming B&B! Area is lovely (although it was raining during our stay so we didn’t get as much of a chance to enjoy the location as we would have liked… but it IS breathtaking.) On the bay, lovely walk to town … couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful spot! Hosts are wonderful people … homemade bread and jams, fruit, yogurt and assorted cereals for breakfast… would recommend Dovecote to everyone!

Positives: I liked the house, situation and friendly owners. It was quiet and thick curtains made for a dark room for good sleep. Breakfast homemade items were nice.
Negatives: I found the bedroom to be small, awkward to move around or put things out of the way. There was an issue with bathroom, so we had to use downstairs. Appreciated, but older people going downstairs a couple of times at night is precarious.
Victorian touches (silverware...) are lovely but need to be practical too. Owners have made a great attempt but need to refine some things.

We booked the two upstairs rooms for one night and had the use of the guest lounge there too. A short but very sweet stay! The house and garden are delightfully quaint and homely and our interactions with Nathan and Tim were very pleasant. We bought dinner at the nearby town and ate at the waterfront just a short walk from the house.

Dovecote house was the final stay of our NZ holiday and we enjoyed every minute there. A wonderful house, a beautiful garden and a thoroughly relaxing atmosphere. Nathan and Tim (and the cats) were excellent hosts and made us feel at home from the beginning. Thanks again for the dinner and great conversation at the table. We were sorry to leave in the morning and would love to stay there again, if we were to come back to New Zealand ... :)

This B&B was so cozy and quaint. It is located just steps away from the beautiful Blockhouse Beach. Nathan and Tim were excellent hosts catering to all of me and my family's needs and wants. You must have Nathan cook for you during your stay, he is an incredible chef! The cats were adorable and so sweet. I highly recommend that you enhance your trip to Auckland by staying at this charming B&B!

Ethan and Tim were very gracious hosts, the property was well-kept and fancifully decorated, and the continental breakfast was excellent. Our room was very comfortable, and there was no issue with the shared bath since there was only one other guest room. Highly recommended.
