“Great place to take your furbabys, their care for both your pets and you is amazing, highly recommend”

“This place was more than a home away from home. A pool spa Bbq.. Owners were amazing. Breakfast included 4 different cereals fruit. Different food items in room. It was amazing beds were really comfortable. The room bathroom was so clean. I think this would have to be one of the cleanest places I have stayed at. Something for everyone. Playground out the back AAA+ best to just ring for bookings.”

“Amazing stay at the lodge! The location is very close to town (5 min) and to Hobbiton (15 min). The studio was clean, comfortable and relaxing. My friend and I stayed for two nights and enjoyed all the goodies and breakfast provided daily. Mark even packed us a to go breakfast for our early departure. Everything was delicious. Mark and Glenn are great hosts and have a beautiful farm with stunning views and farm animals you can feed/pet. Highly recommended and would definitely return again. Definitely book this unique stay!”

“The host Steve is nice and communicatable. We were surprised by the abundant breakfast ingredients offered by Steve. The equipments in this house are convient. The decorations are beautiful. Staying in a storytelling house which used to be a school was special. We had a great stay in The Old School House!”

“Wow! Just Wow! This was our first ever BnB experience so were apprehensive on booking. From the moment I knocked on the door I knew we had struck gold. We were treated like their family and the surroundings, service and extras were just way beyond any expectation. I cannot rate this BnB high enough. Thank you Penny and Laurie you have set the bar so high there is Ice on it. Thank you for a lovely stay.”

“Dave and Renata are lovely hosts, very welcoming and accommodating. Room and ensuit immediately clean and gorgeous. Beautiful home in a lovely area.”

“What an incredible find! Don't let the lack of online booking dissuade you from staying here- it's an amazing place with truly wonderful hosts. Charlotte and Stephen were so welcoming to the four of us (2 couples), from chatting about their journey to Greenhill, to sharing local recommendations, to amazing homecooked meals (definitely take them up on daily breakfast, and you have to eat dinner in at least once!). We felt very at home, and there were no shortage of spots to relax and soak in the beauty of Hawke's Bay. All guest rooms open to the front porch or the back courtyard, they're spacious and well-appointed, with modern bathrooms and homey touches. The billiard room is especially fun, as was the pool area (complete with cedar 2-person hot tub). We loved meeting all the resident animals (alpacas, mini ponies, goats, dogs, cats), but guests with animal allergies should be aware that a few of the fur babies are indoor pets. I wish we could have stayed longer, Greenhill would be the perfect place to get away from it all for an extended visit to the countryside!”

“This is a superb place, lots of outdoor area, beautiful gardens, bq area, heated pool. Luxurious beds. A roomy villa. Friendly owners. I will be back to stay again.”

“Tidy and modern self contained units, comfy furniture, cozy warm mini home away from home. Situated out of town away from hustle and bustle.”

“Excellent. Friendly staff. Our cat was very happy there. We will definitely use this cattery again. Thank you for taking good care of our baby”

“WOW - not only is the Lodge beautiful and relaxing, but the hosts are equally as charming. Our stay just happened to be on one of the most gorgeous days of the year, still the ambiance and views would be just as nice had the weather not been exceptional. We can't rave enough about the location...simply wonderful. What a nice way to spend a week-day. The food cooked by our host Gene, was first rate, and the friendly atmosphere added to an all-round superb mini-break. Thank you again for such a lovely visit... hope we'll be back. Claude & Taryn Auckland.”

“Perfect getaway spot! Really homely apartment and so thoughtfully prepared (beach towels/mat, fresh milk, coffee, snacks, wine, water, beer). Location was perfect and the hosts could not have been more welcoming. Can’t wait to return! Everything we were looking for :)”

“Amazing food! Great customer service! Will be returning!”

“Absolutely amazing. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. This place exceeded my expectations and the owner's hospitality is top notch i will definitely be going back soon.”

“An absolutely excellent stay. Monika and Rolf are brilliant hosts and their property is perfect. The personal touches like homemade bread, fresh eggs, jams, yogurt and biscuits really made it special. Watching stars while in the spa was a bonus. Location is great and the chickens are a delight.”

“If you're thinking of staying here? DO! If you're thinking of eating out while you stay here? DONT! Breckenridge Lodge puts a new name to bed and breakfast. Make sure you don't miss Marcus' 5 course dinner with wine pairing. It's unbelievable! The best dinner I've had in Hawkes Bay. The attention to detail was impeccable. The flavours were exquisite. The hospitality was next level. If you ever get a chance to stay with Marcus and Ellie..do it! It will not be regretted.”

“I can’t thank Eden enough for her help this week. My beautiful siamese cat and I live in Auckland and we were visiting family in Havelock North this week. Unfortunately my cat ingested a long piece of string and I called the practice for advice. Eden could easily have said she was too busy given I’m not a patient at the practice. Instead she listened, asked questions and immediately spoke to the vet and then gave me easy to follow advice on what to do next. When I went to the clinic, Eden talked me through the signs and symptoms that could indicate an obstruction and had prepared emergency after hours instructions on how and where to get help. Eden also made several follow up calls over the coming days just to check my cat was ok. I just can’t express how grateful I am for the care and support we received. Eden is an absolute legend and a true ambassador for Pet First. If I lived in HN I would enrol here in a heartbeat. Thank you!”

“What a beautiful hotel! The rooms were cozy, clean and well-appointed. From the grand staircase to the jacuzzi and amenities in the bathroom, this hotel exceeded all my expectations. There's even a fireplace in our room. It's set in a very quiet spot with gorgeous courtyards in the front and the back of the estate. There is a salon with a fireplace where you can enjoy pre-dinner drinks and cocktails. I had my wedding here and the staff were unbelievably helpful and supportive. It was such a memorable experience and I will definitely be staying here again.”

“We stayed there for around 4-5 months, and it was our best experience. Philippa is amazing and lovely. She was very helpful and quick when we needed something. We felt as if we were at home. We never had any problems there. Everything in the house worked properly, and it has everything you need to have an incredible time. Without a doubt, it is the best place to stay in Christchurch. Thank you Philippa for everything! We truly appreciate you and we will miss you!❤️”

“Whilst attending my daughter's wedding celebrations, I booked three rooms, for three nights, for my family members travelling from Melbourne. I cannot speak highly enough of our hosts Frank and Jenny, who took us into and shared their home with us. The location is within walking distance of the village of Lyttleton and its services. Our hosts were attentive, friendly and supportive, but, not intrusive. Their rooms were a delight, comfortable, spacious and serviced daily, unless one signed that it was not necessary. Ensuites, heated towel racks, room heaters ensured a comfortable stay. The views over Lyttleton Harbour are breathtaking, complemented by the external open patio, complete with outdoor furniture and barbecue for guests to relax and enjoy. Complimentary cereals, yogurts, fruit, tea and coffees ensure a relaxing start to the day. Frank and Jenny are approachable, friendly and helpful, we enjoyed our stay and commend you to them when next you visit Christchurch or Lyttleton areas.”

“Lovely room, great dining area, lots of beautiful artwork, and nice hosts. Smallest sink ever in the room like so many other places in NZ. Nice shower though.”

“Husband and I had the garden view room. Superb. Bed made up each day for us, hot hearty breakfast - and an outside spa to enjoy. Hosts were warm & friendly. Great spot. Not noisy.”

“Escape to Annandale by Luxury Helicopter with GCH Aviation, Christchurch International Airport. Private jet and helicopter charters.”

“Best lash lift and brow shape I’ve had, and so relaxing! Definitely recommend”

“Lovely location away from the "maddening crowds". Our city grandchildren enjoyed the farm experience. Neil shared his love of animals with them especially his very contented herd of alpacas. Thankyou.”

“I've always been treated as "part of the family"! With staff being helpful with checkups and in all our emergencies. Treating us with empathy and giving great support!”

“Spent 5 nights here with my family and had a wonderful time. Wendy and Mike were very accommodating and welcoming. We were able to spend a day just relaxing by the pool which was much needed after a busy holiday and before we came home. A great place to stay!”
