We came to Breakers for a weekend escape from the kids, looking for somewhere to relax. We found a gem over looking the sea with magical sunsets.

We don't normally stay at B&Bs or upmarket hotels but this was a treat and a place well worth visiting to help revitalise the soul.

Right from the moment we arrived Jan made us feel at home. She was extremely helpful and informative as to what to do and where to go in the local area. We fully intend to revisit Breakers later this year to relive the moment and soak up the Sunsets again.

The location is remote on a windswept beach strewn with driftwood. We paid $300 per couple (there were 3 couples) which was said to be a discount. We had just stayed at a 5 star hotel in Queenstwon and paid less for much more. We needed to leave at 7.30am - this was apparently too early for us to be cooked breakfast so we were left a bowl of muesli and some fruit the night before. There were few items of crockery and no utensils in the room. We were required to remove our shoes before entering the rooms and the house. The cost of dinner (chicken lasagna) was said to be $70 per head - we declined. Very poor value for the money.

My husband & I stayed here on our whistle stop tour of New Zealand. Sadly we only had 1 night here to break up our journey to Te Anau. Seriously this was the best little B&B ive ever stayed in....picture the scene, gentle waves laping on the sand of your own little private beach...what more could you want....a waterfall, beautifully attended landscaped gardens and attention to detail? You;ve got it ALL!! We stayed in one of the superior rooms...just beautiful, up to date furnishings, Iron & ironing board, TV, alarm clock, seperate amenities area with fridge, kettle etc, very large room & a fantastic shower and bathroom. All the water used at this property is collected rain water! Very ECO friendly it was lovely. They also have a no shoes policy in the rooms, with slippers provided for you instead! As a Travel Agent myself, I took a look all around the property, the rooms in the main house we really nice too and each and everyone of them are very large with Sea views. UK standards definately 4*. Fantastic hosts, lovely breakfast, beautiful location a perfect retreat...only wish we had 3days there!. Jan will give you everything she can to make your stay a complete pleasure. Sh cooks a mean breakfast and even offers th option to have dinner if you want or need too. Oh and by the way, they have 2 gorgeous dogs, but dont worry...Im scared of dogs but they have been so well trained that they stay away from you, they're just a pleasure to watch...Cant wait to return, you'll love it!
