We stayed with Inge and Ed for 4 nights. We took the Bellavista suite which is self catering for two (twin beds) and the adjacent Bellavista room for two (king bed). This allowed us some self catering. The breakfasts were varied and top quality. We chartered the family yacht (42 feet) for a day and had a stunning cruise, swam... more

Just fantastic. Exceeded all expectations by a long way. Great attention to the little things. The robes, the chocolates on the pillows, a small selection of carefully chosen wines at very reasonable prices and a breakfast unlike any breakfast I have ever experienced. Needing a break after an extremely hectic and stressful period we stumbled across this place. It was... more

This would be the best accommodation I've ever stayed at. Intuitive, friendly, helpful and the breakfast is lovely. The place has it's own character, easy to use and a great view from both rooms we've stayed in (stayed a year ago as well). Thoroughly recommend. Thanks Inge and Ed From Tanya and Ben more

Looking at the description and the pictures I had high expectations. In the matter of fact Chalet Romantica is even better ! Bay of Island is a lovely place but Chalet Romantica makes your stay unique. Great level of service, great view and friendly hospitality. With Inge and Ed you feel at home among old friends of yours. more

The bedroom was luxurious with living room/ kitchenette and bathroom very clean and had all items necessary for a short stay. The view over the Bay of Islands was stunning. The hosts were very friendly and most accommodating. They arranged our boat trip out to the islands at short notice and had various suggestions for other local activities.. Breakfast was... more

Only one jet in tiny pool worked which wasnt exactly relaxing. Neither was the noise the treadmill made The room was clean and tidy absolutely no room for manoevre and minimal "servicing" was... more

Just pulling up to Chalet Romantica in our rental car, we knew right off the bat we were in for a wonderful stay! What a beautiful location, on top of the hill with an amazing view of the bay and all it had to offer. As soon as we rang the doorbell, Inge (the friendly and outgoing owner) greeted us... more

We have stayed in all three rooms at the "Chalet".Comment has been made of the 43 steps from the ground, but they are the most shallow steps and at the age of 72yrs I found them very easy. The whole experience of our stay was of relaxed but efficient service with Inge leading her very pleasant staff in looking after... more

My wife and I wrapped up our 6week NZ holiday with 5 nights at this absolutely delightful B & B. Our room was in immaculate condition on our arrival and was maintained that way througout our visit. The views were terrific, the breakfasts scrumptious, and our hostess, Inge, helped us set up what were some fabulous tours and experiences around... more
