After spending two weeks camping in New Zealand, we decided to treat ourselves for the final night and what a treat it was. Friendly and generous hosts, a well-equipped suite and relaxing views over the duck filled pond, all finished off with a delicious breakfast. They have definitely raised the bar for B&Bs!

Brantome Villa was the second stop on our tour of New Zealand. It is a really lovely property with beautiful gardens. We stayed in the Queen Lakeview Suite, which was lovely. Valerie & Roger were great hosts, who provided us with some really good information on where to visit in and around Whangarei. If you are planning on visit to... More

Only 40 mins from the beautiful Bay of Islands ... Brantome is perfectly located. I'm so glad I chose this gorgeous place instead of staying nearer to the Bay ....

Unfortunately, our itinerary allowed for only a one-night stay in this superb B&B. One needs to linger longer, to soak up the atmosphere of the lovely accommodation and surrounds, with its spacious suites, impeccable facilities and most gracious hosts, Valerie and Roger.

Having just got back from a fantastic night away at Brantome Villa I felt that I should write a few words to say how fantastic everything was.
