Chelsea House Bed & Breakfast

My husband and I stayed 3 nights in the Ledwith King Room. A wonderful experience with a small, very well equipped kitchentte. There was absolutely nothing missing, be it in the bathroom or bedroom. Also we had access to a large living room to relax in. But the best part was the friendly owner Jennie who made us so welcome with coffee and goodies and was a rich source of knowledge for our travels around the North Island. Thank you so much Jennie!! Can recommend this place 100%!!

We spent one short night here and wished we could stay longer! Jennie is so welcoming and the house is well appointed. She has thought of everything! She spent time with us chatting through our plans and giving tips (her and her husband used to be travel agents). The front bedroom was gorgeous….high ceilings, beautifully decorated, even toiletries in case you ran out and candies in a dish. There was a cart with tea,cookies, etc for anytime you wanted anything and a large sitting room. Breakfast was wonderful with so many homemade jams to choose from, fruit and she even gave us a takeaway croissant for our early departure. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this B&B….the best stay bar none of our two weeks on the island!

Jennie is a fabulous host. Great B&B! Very welcoming, great tour suggestions in town and surrounding areas of North Island. Knows a lot of fun history of the region. Food was delicious. Home is easy to get to and close to town, hiking tract, Whangarei Falls and other attractions.

The most wonderful stay! Jennie is a fantastic host. The room was incredibly clean, and breakfast was perfect. Loved the walk into town that Jennie detailed for me as well. I hope to return with my family soon… in the meantime, I’ll be telling everyone to book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such a delightful stay at Chelsea House B&B--the house was simply charming and it was in such a good location to enjoy Whangarei! But as charming as the accommodations were, it was Jennie and Tony that really made our stay shine! They are such a delightful couple and were very helpful in making arrangements/recommendations for later in our trip. We had a lovely stay!

Had a great stay here while visiting New Zealand for the women's rugby world cup. Jennie and Tony were so hospitable, Jennie even drove us down to the stadium for the match.Really comfortable beautiful b&b would recommend.

Superb old-world charm, with modern amenities and that little bit extra. Thank you for the chats and the use of your beautiful home, we felt more than welcome, and you go that extra step to ensure we felt relaxed and happy. You run a fabulous B&B and cater to every possible need or some that we didn't know we needed.

Everything perfect and in its place. The grand old villa was warm and comfortable. Large comfortable beds and lovey breakfast. Hospitality was really friendly and everything was lovely. Thanks for looking after us.

Me and my wife spent two nights at Chelsea House as part of our honeymoon trip to New Zealand. Jennie and Tony were great hosts and made sure we enjoy our time at Whangarei. Jennie went out of her way several times for us. She drove us around the area, gave us a lot of useful recommendations on things to do not only in Whangarei but also New Zealand since she used to work in the tourism industry, and voluntarily got us a booking at one of the best restaurants in town! The breakfast that Jennie cooks is great and I would recommend anyone who is going to visit Chelsea House to try Jennie cakes they are so lovely. It truly felt that we were in a home away from home.
