Bed and Breakfast

Bed & Breakfasts throughout New Zealand range from the comfortably simple to the more luxurious. Our team excels at matching the right accommodations to our clients' budgets- bringing you more value for your money.

Below are a few B&Bs that we have used for many years as an example of the types of properties we use. As with any property we recommend for our clients, our goal is simply to work with you and help show you the spirit and true authenticity that is New Zealand. Sometimes an itinerary is a mix of different types of accommodations according to your needs, the time of year, the locations you plan to visit, etc.

B&Bs in New Zealand are fun because it is a lost art that many North Americans are not exposed to very often. The art of being a good host. Meeting hospitable and friendly Kiwis, enjoying comfortable lodging and a great breakfast is sometimes all one needs to experience their own "home away from home."

We have relationships with the proprietors and keepers of small B&Bs across the country. If you are interested in the examples below give our team a call or drop us an email. Our experience will provide you a better experience and you will not pay more out of pocket - we offer the same retail pricing as the lodges themselves... but provide so much more in terms of a comprehensive trip!

Arrowtown House

The Arrowtown House Boutique Hotel is located in Queenstown's historic precinct of Arrowtown, one of NZ's most charming neighbourhoods. 

Bronte Lodge

Nestled at the very end of the historic Bronte Peninsula, Bronte Lodge is in the heart of orchard-land, surrounded by wineries, art studios, golf courses and three of New Zealand's most beautiful national parks. This is an area of stunning beauty and tranquillity.

The Sanctuary

Nestled Amongst the Bush in the Northland, this retreat is a perfect location to detox from the digital and seek experiences that allow one to disconnect... and play great golf!

Customer reviews

Frank and the Best of NZ team were exceptional in their planning support and execution of our trip to NZ North Island. We gave them the parameters - dates and golf courses we wanted to play and the pacing we wanted for the trip in terms of days in each region - and they produced an absolutely amazing trip for us. All of the arrangements were flawlessly executed and we sailed through the trip effortlessly. their expert advice - how much driving vs. in country driving would be ideal for us to maximize our experience, the excursion to Cape Reinga which was amazing, having our dinner prepared the first night after a long day getting to Bay of Islands was perfect and the selection of accommodations in Hawke's Bay was brilliant.

We will never forget the spectacular views from Kauri Cliffs golf course, the jet boat rides in Taupo, cycling through the vineyards in Hawke's bay and ending up sipping chardonnay with lunch at Clearview winery, the splendor of playing golf among the birds and grounds at Wairakei, and ofcourse the spellbinding course at Cape Kidnappers. We could tell Best of NZ have strong relationships in NZ because the people we encountered in NZ as our guides/hosts reflected just that - professional and friendly. NZ was an amazing, epic experience for us and we could not have asked for better support and execution from Best of NZ/Frank and his team. We cant wait to go back, this time to the South Island!!!!

Thanks again Frank, YOU are the Best and the Best of NZ is truly the BEST!!
