This would have to be the best bnb in NZ. We stayed here 4 nights. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. Jennie explained the history of the old house and then showed us to our room. The room was spacious and extremely clean as was the ensuite. We were given the use of their lounge which had a small table in it. With use of the microwave, plates and cutlery available in a unit in the spacious passage way we were able to buy at the supermarket and cook our own meals. Breakfasts were filling served at the long table in the kitchen. As we didn't eat the croissants Jennie filled the with ham, cheese and tomato for our lunches. As we were away from home for a while I was able to catch up on our washing using their washing machine. Jennie and Tony are superb hosts, there if needed, if not, in the background leaving us to our own devices. We would highly recommend this BnB.…

Hi Doug and Carmela Wow! Another fabulous review and to be given the title Best B&B in the north island, I'm so very grateful for your review. Thanks for sharing your Sicilian family recipes with me. Now NZ is in Covid19 lockdown will have time in the next four weeks to give them a go. I hope you and all of your loved ones in Italy and Canada are ok. Kindest Regards Jennie

We stayed at the Chelsea House for 2 nights. The house has a great history. The rooms are spacious and well equipped as is the whole house. Jennie made us feel very comfortable and gave us great suggestions on how to spend our days. It is walking distance to great walks and to town and convenient to Whangarei Heads which is a great place to spend a day. There are only two bedrooms so it is very private. The breakfast and snacks are delicious. We would definitely return.

Hi C & S, It was such fun hosting such a bright and bubbly couple. We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you during your stay in Whangarei. You really made the most of your short stay in NZ. I'm hoping you managed to get home to New York before NZ went into lockdown. Keep in touch and I hope you get to have your reunion with your furbaby before too long. Safe travels Jennie

Jennie and Tony were incredibly welcoming and we settled quickly in to the most well-appointed room and comfortable bed on our two week vacation. There was on-site parking and plenty of space to spread out and get reorganized at this halfway point on our journey. Jennie was friendly and helpful in many things, including snagging a last minute dinner reservation at the best restaurant in town. She reached out to us weeks before our visit to inquire about our plans and offer suggestions for must-see sights. There were fresh baked cookies on hand, and delicious breakfast cooked to order each morning. Highly recommended!

Hi, R & P, Thanks for choosing to stay with us, not long before NZ was to go into lockdown and for such an awesome review - to learn that we were your favourite stay is really special. It was a treat to get to know you both and have time to sit and chat over a cuppa or breakfast. Every Friday as I sit down to watch Call the Midwife it reminds me of sharing that time with you too. All the very best and stay safe. Jennie and Tony

Everything about the Chelsea House B&B was perfect during our stay - the host was so friendly and helpful that we instantly felt at home. The room was very lovely as well as the whole building! Breakfast was delicious and miles ahead of anything you usually get in B&Bs (even if they are good), it felt more like a sunday morning with food prepared by a loving family member. Another plus: there‘s a variety of peaceful bushwalks (the only place where I met people was a lookout) just across the street in case you don’t want to go back to the car after a long drive.
