Waimataitai Hotels with Breakfast

This place is the best bed and breakfast I have come across New Zealand. Ian and Rosemary are real sweethearts and a very friendly and courteous hosts. The property is clean and tidy with amazing views. Add to it superb breakfast. This is simply amazing. Nothing less than a 5 star experience. This place set such high standards on our trip that everything else that followed (including 500$a night resort) seemed mediocre. I’d book again just for the breakfast and the couple’s warm and welcoming nature. Add to it amazing sea views and a gorgeous walk.

We stayed here while on a biking trip in the South Island. It was two level accomodation adjacent and below a main road. Walking distance to green areas and supermarket. The unit was clean but had an unusual layout in the bathroom and second bedroom which wasn't ideal. There was no sound proofing between floors where we had kids running around upstairs late into the night and workers using this as a base coming and going. It was not restful with additional traffic noise. Wife was not happy with the amount of light from outside lights reflecting onto the ceiling from the top of the curtains. The manager/owner was very pleasant and helpful and we were able to park safely with our bikes. Location was ideal for us although entry was via a side street. Would be stay again. Probably not.

Clean, comfortable and spacious Slightly noisy by the road 😂 But the motels are like this
