B&B’s in New Zealand must rate among the highest in the world and all, without exception, exceeded expectations during our four weeks on vacation in this lovely country. Pencarrow rated among our favourites though and if ever we return to New Zealand this is where we will stay. What stood out the most was super hosts Bill and Kari both... More

A wonderful B&B where the owners extend gracious hospitality to their guests and bend over backwards to provide great service. From the personal welcome signe upon arrival, the fresh baked muffins upon check in, the little surprise gifts in the room, the warm conversation, and the most fantastic breakfast of our entire trip! Our room - the lighthouse, a wonderful... More

WOW!! What can I say that hasn't already been said in the other reviews? Unbelievably delicious & filling gourmet breakfasts - the food just kept on coming! Breathtaking views of the lake & mountains from each room. Not a speck of dust anywhere. Kari & Bill are incredibly helpful in booking & planning excursions & dinner reservations. We were definitely... More

Our every expectation was exceeded by Bill and Kari's Pencarrow B&B. Our tower room overlooking the lake was enormous; the bed was perfect; there was a homemade snack every afternoon and a small Kiwi keepsake on the pillow each night. But what was unforgettable was breakfast. Kari warned us that she served a "full on" breakfast and she meant it.... More

I didn't think it was possible to deliver this level of service. We felt almost guilty experiencing it :). Bill and Kari are lovely and amazing people. A stay we'll never forget. More

My husband and I spent 4 days of our honeymoon at Pencarrow and it was the highlight of our trip. Forget what you think you know about B&Bs, Pencarrow is in a class all its own. Bill and Kari are the nicest, most hospitable people I've ever met. They instantly make their home, your home. Kari's 4 course breakfasts are... More

We spent 3 nights at Pencarrow and could have spent 3 more. The bedrooms are beautiful, each one a multi-room suite with unique decor. Our bathroom was exceptional, with a jacuzzi tub, double sinks, shower, and best of all, a beautiful view of the gardens and upper lawn area. The sitting room in our suite had an amazing view of...

This is the best of the best B&B's in the world! Breaksfast was fresh and plentiful, wholesome or gourmet, whatever your preference. The views of The Remarkables and lake from the dining area and gathering room fabulous. Accomodations were 5* with fine linens and very comfortable beds. Cleanliness was outstanding. The owners available to offer tips and guidance to local... More
