Malolo house lies very convenient in the center of Helensville. Helensville is possibly not the place to be in New Zealand's Northland. However if you need to stay there, Malolo House is definitely the place to stay, if you are looking for a good value place with shared facilities. The rooms, being former hospital room, are nicely decorated with a... More

We stayed at Malolo Lodge en route to The Bay of Islands. There is not much to do in Helensville, so luckily it was just an overnight. Pluses: - Beautiful, B&B-style rooms for a hostel price - Quiet and romantic - Very nice, well-stocked kitchen (my chef-spouse made mussels stew with fresh green-lipped mussels) - Friendly owner - Clean and...

I have used this B&B as a business base on several occasions and found it lacking for very little. Rene and Annelise are extremely accommodating and more than happy to go the extra mile to help make the stay more enjoyable, at the same time not being "in your face" all the time as some B&B hosts can be.

Beautifully restored villa with charming and sunny bedrooms. Kitchen is modern and very well equipped. However the bathrooms were quite far away from the bedrooms. The hosts were very polite and friendly.

Having booked bed and breakfast a couple of weeks before arrival, we were rather concerned to be told they didn't do breakfast any more, unless we paid for it! Then we were asked if we had bought food to cook for dinner. Sadly we hadn't because every eatery in Helensville, except for an Indian takeaway, was closed!! The room was... More

Mololo House is a charming old house in the main street of Helensville. The house has been lovingly restored and our room was wonderfully old world. We only saw Annelise when we arrived and when we left so got little information about the places to visit in the town. We were awakened early by quite large trucks driving past. This... More
