Great
The host was very friendly and welcoming. She went out of her way to meet our every need. The room was very comfortable and quiet too. We also meet others from different parts of the world, which always enriches our experiences.
Exceptional, a home from home.
This is a gem of a b&b. Maria, the owner, went out of her way to make us extremely welcome and well looked after; it felt like a home from home. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with a wide range of amenities and there were places inside and outside to relax. The breakfasts were also outstanding and Maria even invited our two local friends to join us one morning. The property is very quiet and in a pretty setting, being only a short stroll to a local beach and a short drive to Whitianga town centre and marina. It will be our first choice if we return to the area again.
Great host, made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend staying here.
Our hostess Maria was lovely. Great bed and breakfast was excellent!
Our stay at Parkland Place was great from beginning to end. Maria greeted us cordially when we arrived and provided a brief orientation. We had a comfortable bedroom, bed, pillows and well appointed private bath. The breakfasts were top notch. Fresh fruits, juices, multiple choices on bread for toast, eggs, cold meats and cheese, cereals, coffee or tea to your preference. Both Maria and Guy were readily available for questions or ideas about what to do in the area. Quiet, clean and classy home. We can’t say enough about how positive our experience was. Highly recommend.
This is an excellent B&B. Maria and Guy welcoming warm and attentive hosts. Gorgeous property. Spotlessly clean. Breakfast is above and beyond. It is a 3 to 4 km walk to the main restaurant area but it is along the beach front pathway and easy to do., We would definitely return.
Great Auckland Anniversary Day Break
Reviews we read beforehand were accurate. Maria, the owner ,was the a real character and most certainly " the boss". Located a little off the township in a very quiet road near the beach it offered so much. Great breakfast. Nice little touches . Nearby kitchen with a small honesty box bar with tea and coffee facilities. A lovely place to stay and recharge your batteries!
I travelled with my teenage daughter. The B n B was safe, tidy, homely, close to the beach and the layout and amenities were awesome. The breakfast was healthy, fresh, good variety and the dining room was welcoming. Maria has exceptional customer service, she’s always on hand for everything you need. If you want a home from home with a caring hostess I can’t recommend Parkland place highly enough.
This is one of the most spotlessly clean places we have ever stayed. Maria was an excellent host—delightful personality and focused on making us comfortable.
Maria was an absolute star of a host. She said she has been in business for 27 years and its obvious why - she has created a beautiful space, and served a wonderful breakfast. B&B done right!
Maria is an absolute gem! She runs a lovely, clean and comfortable b and b providing everything you could want or need and more. Highly recommend.
Beautiful place Maria and Guy super hosts.
Lovely accommodation and lovely hosts. Very luxurious B and B. Well worth a visit if you want to be spoiled.
Marie is a excellent host, friendly and helpfull. Wonderfull.
The room was spacious with Beautiful European decor. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Dining room had lovely Christmas tree and decorations as the stay was 3 days after Christmas. The Dining table was set with beautiful dinnerware. A delicious Breakfast was included in the stay.
We will definitely be back!
Maria was the most amazing host! She was so kind and friendly and went above and beyond. The bed and breakfast was beautiful and clean. The location is right on the beach. Cannot recommend this place enough!!
10 out of 10!
Very comfortable, clean, and attractive B&B. I'll definitely stay here again.
Lovely owner. Friendly and helpful. Beautiful property. Highly recommend it.
Very spacious and comfortable room with a sunroom and small outdoor area. Very friendly host and superb breakfast included in the room terrif.
The accommodation is satisfying and comfortable, what i like most is the homely ambience and the friendliness of Maria and Guy and the cleanliness. Highly recommended👍
Excellent B&B
Maria was an excellent host - very friendly and helpful. Scramble egg was fabulous! The entire place was tidy and beautifully presented.
What can i say this place is an absolute retreat. Loved every minute at the bnb. From the minute we walked in the door to the second we left my partner and i were treated so well. I can highly recommend this accomodation. Breakfast was beautiful the service was amazing. And for the price overall WOW. We will only stay here from now on in whitianaga.
Great place to stay
Thank you Maria and Gai for your warm, friendly welcome and service! In addition, I enjoyed your amazing massage. This B and B isn’t a B and B. It offers a service and hospitality as great as a hotel! The room was cozy and I especially loved the breakfast by the fireplace.
Better than the photo
The room is actually better than the photo! And the breakfast was amazing! Thank you Maria, we will back again.
Top notch accommodation with welcoming and friendly hosts.
This is the best motel/B&B I have ever stayed at. Maria is the most gracious and helpful host I've met. She goes out of her way to ensure all guests are comfortable, provides fantastic breakfast (and heaps of great coffee), and is always willing to help with activities, restaurants and the like. The rooms are like brand new, spacious, and kept immaculately. My partner and I found the facility to be very quiet, and there was ample common space to sit outside and have a drink or a bite to eat, and enjoy the very well kept garden. It's just a short drive into the centre of town, and a stone's throw from the waterfront too. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I would most definitely stay again!
Maria is a fantastic host, nothing was a problem. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed, and the shower has great pressure. Will definitely stay again next time we're in Whitianga
Great hospitality by Maria. Very clean and a lovely breakfast to add . Easy to find
Our stay at Parkland Place was THE BEST!! Marie is a WONDERFUL hostess and went above and beyond to assist us. Everything was perfect and i wouldn't change anything --- we even extended our stay because we enjoyed staying there so much. Would highly recommend!
Great B&B, highly recommend!
We had a great stay here. Traveling as a couple, stayed 1 night. This is a beautiful B&B near Whitianga. Perfect location to get to Hot Water Beach (about 40 min drive from hotel) and Cathedral Cove (about 30 min drive away from hotel). Breakfast is included and Maria cooks eggs to order. Also a nice spread of meats, cheeses, breads, ham, butter, Nutella, Vegemite, Coffee, kiwi juice and orange juice. Room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in was smooth and parking was easy. Would recommend this hotel!
Miami
The Best B&B I ever been in my life! 5star!
Fantastic
We had a fantastic stay. The hospitality was amazing. We went with our two kids ages 8 and 5. We all felt very welcomed and comfortable.
A very comfortable B&B, welcoming owners and good breakfast.
A great place to stay in a beautiful B&B!
A fabulous stay in a beautifully kept B&B. Maria made us feel so welcome & showed us where to go & what to do while staying in Whitianga. We will definitely be back!
It is in lovely quiet surroundings, very warm and clean and friendly.
The hostess, Maria, is the best that I have encountered during my many years of travels! A motherly figure, she made everyone her responsibility, making sure that every need is met and that your stay is memorable. Till today, we are still talking about her!
Fantastic. Full marks.
I have nothing to complain about. Couldn't have asked for anything else. Thaks
Room and property are clean and tidy. Wonderful hospitality:)
Would have loved to stayed longer!
This B&B was wonderful. Maria goes out of her way to make you welcome, the room was very comfortable and there are extra little touches like bottles of water and chocolates in the room. Breakfast was great, I would highly recommend a stay here and would definitely come back. It was such a lovely location and perfect for taking advantage of the area.
The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Our rooms were well situated and very large. Breakfast was amazing. Maria makes your eggs to order and there is so much else to choose from at the buffet breakfast. Lots of cheeses, Pate, smoked salmon, cereal.
Perfect stay
Very good stay. Wonderful host, excellent breakfast. They really deserve their great rates.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and breakfast was great. Would recommend this place.
Maria was. Dry friendly. The room was spotless & the bewamfast delicious. Highly recommend
Maria is extremely attentive to your needs. Her BnB is impeccably run.
Friendly hosts and suler clean place.
The accommodation was comfy and felt like home. The host was welcoming and very friendly, and the breakfast selection was plenty. Overall, very pleased with my stay at this place, and I would recommend it to others.
This was the most comfortable stay in the area. The host Maria was very sweet and hospitable. The room was very spacious and the bed was super comfortable. The very place is very close to the beach and restuarents. The breakfast was delicious and good variety of options. Highly recommend this place. Thanks
Cosy B & B
Nice B& B near the beach. We love our comfortable bed.
Parkland place is an absolute gem.
Our room was bright, airy and very clean. The king-size bed was perfect. A little kitchen area with a fridge was available for making tea and coffee. Breakfast was a lovely continental spread and we also enjoyed scrambled eggs. Marie, our host, made delicious coffee, the best in our 3 weeks in N Z. My wife and I would definitely come here again. The B&B is an excellent base for exploring the Peninsula.
Brilliant stay with great hosts
Our stay with Maria and Guy can only described as brilliant. The room was spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean and well maintained. Maria and Guy were the perfect hosts, discrete yet always available for help and advise of where to visit or eat in the area. The breakfast deserves a special mention. There is a great selection of cereals, bread, cheese, cooked meats, fresh fruit, yogurt and much more. You can have eggs cooked to order and Maria serves to best coffee we had in New Zealand. If we visit this area again we will book this property again without a moments hesitated. To qualify our comments - we ran a B&B in France for several years and know how hard Guy and Maria must work to keep the high standards that they deliver to their guests
Parklands Place B & B
Nice welcome, very clean room/bathroom, comfortable. Great hosts, very attentive. Eggs with continental breakfast - a plus.
The hotel owners are extremely attentive and helpful. They go out of their way to cater for any requirement. The hotel is pristine and the location is excellent with a river at the back and 5 minutes walk from the beach.
Very lovely B&B!
Lovely couple who took great care of us. Yummy breakfasts and coffee! They spent time telling us about the good places to see. Gave us towels for the beach. Lovely 2-bed room above garage with A/C, fridge, sink, and big tv. Amazing shower. My daughters bed was comfortable but mine was so-so. However, I would still highly recommend this place!
Great service
B and B. Big room. Attentive service. Great breakfast.
Tidy and quiet setting, all one needs.
The hostess was lovely, bent over backwards to help, great experience.
Lovely place Warm and hospitable
Caring and appreciative staff from the moment you turn up Beautiful rooms and surroundings Healthy and plentiful breakfast
Great hosts n great breakfast. Nice quiet location.
Holiday getaway
Very gracious hosts! Loved our room with sunroom and patio deck! The breakfast was served on beautiful china and loved talking with other guests. I’d definitely recommend staying here. Close to beaches and in natural setting!
Very pleasant stay
We enjoyed our stay at Parkland Place with excellent facilities for B & B accommodation. We were treated very well after a mix up in bookings and treated to a lovely breakfast and very friendly owner.
Excellent hostess
We stayed 3 nights at this lovely B&B. We were greeted at door and rules explained fully. Room tidy and very comfortable with its own ensuite. Lots of little extras that were much appreciated like a bottle of water each day and a bar of chocolate. Hostess very helpful and recommended lots of local sightseeing and on one particular day even lent us a backpack when we went out sightseeing. Lovely continental breakfast served every morning along with real coffee. A great way to start the morning. She even went the extra mile and purchased gluten free options for me when I emailed and asked. Thank you Maria we really enjoyed the stay.
Fantastic host
Considerate and thoughtful of our extra needs - bottles of water every day, complimentary chocolates.
Very good location for exploring the Coromandel.
We had a great time on the Coromandel. Maria was very helpful and friendly - nothing any bother to her. Great breakfast.
my best stay in my NZ trip!!
I really liked this B&B and the care that Maria provides. I am an active solo traveller, so having a place that had a late checkin, with a good breakfast, and activities, was very important to me. The free kayaks off the back of the B&B was what sold me the place. And it was fun! Kayaking right off the back, into the creek and into the bay, was a real treat on checkout day. Thank you!! Every day, I rose for breakfast, and talked to Maria and other people that were staying in the B&B. It was like having friends on my trip, and each day we talked about what we did. I really felt cared for. Maria's very professional and your room is secluded from others' rooms so you really don't feel like anyone is intruding in others' spaces. The room was very clean and quiet, a nice place to relax. The bathroom had everything that I needed. Maria went out of her way to make sure that I was cared for, even down to giving me water bottles daily, even on checkout day, for my activities and hikes. Coromandel is an amazing place and I can't wait to go back. Thank you so much!!
Excellent place , wonderful owner , Super clean
One of the best , Owner very friendly and would do anything to make your stay perfect .
Glad we made the decision to stay here!
We knew as soon as we were greeted by Maria that we would love this place. Absolutely spotless! Very comfortable room. The accommodation did smell very fresh and there were beautiful flowers everywhere. The eggs for breakfast were cooked to perfection by Maria and the other items, fruit, meats cheese etc were all delicious. Bottled water and chocolates in our room was a very nice touch. Great location too! It was obvious that Maria takes great pride in running her B and B and was very helpful with restaurant information etc too.
I'll be back !
Maria made it all easy and pleasant.
Very clean and comfortable. Friendly hosts.
Fawlty Towers New Zealand
We started to plan our 25 anniversary trip to NZ last summer and booked this one and another place in Te Anau very early. The plan changed to bringing our two daughters along. We did not change the booking (one room with two king beds) and thought we could pay the extra persons fee at the site. No problem in Te Anau, But when we arrived this one in a rainy evening, as soon as the site manager saw our two daughters, she started lecturing and complaining. In front of all of us, she asked us four times: how many people do you have in your group? Each time, we answered: four and we will pay the extra fee! No use, complains go on and on, not only fees but also she had to make another bed - the two-king room only had one bed made at this time! Shouldn't both beds be ready regardless? We started feeling very uncomfortable and asked if we could add the two girls for one night (girls want to move out the next day). No! We were told we should feel lucky to be able to stay! We paid the 2p x 2nt fee but move out all together the next morning! The room we booked: upstair two-king beds with private bath and kitchenette, is totally misleading: 1. the bathroom is not private, it's outside downstair through outdoor stairs (we were rained on heavily going there). 2. the two beds are actually queens. We moved to a hotel the very next day with actual king beds and the comparison was obvious. 3. The room has a note requiring no food inside the room - very ironic for a room with kitchenette
#AWESOME STAY :)
i simply loved it it had everything feels like home it was clean and spacious it has nice food it has pool,spa,kayaking.etc service is very good it is located close to the whitianga border and pacific ocean is just 300m away from hotel SPLENDID!!
Relaxing two nights stay
Very comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Maria was an hospitable host and cooked delicious breakfasts. She passed on lots of advice about local attractions and ensured our stay was relaxing. Great that she's a 'Coro' fan too!
Fawlty Towers Whitianga (but Basil is a lady)
Ill keep this short - for my long review see Trip Advisor. First trip away with baby (8 weeks old) to surprise my partner. Busy at work, booked online and didn't select 1 child on booking. Well bad mistake if you want to stay here... Lady at hotel sees baby and starts a 10 minute lecture about how rude we are, how inconceivable it is for me to have filled out the expedia form wrong and how our child will disrupt her guests. Im horribly offended, she wont back down an inch, she tells me I'm rude for asking for refund _ I tell her to keep my money and I'll leave an honest review. Seriously felt like we were on an episode of Fawlty Towers As you can see by her response to my early feedback there's no stopping this charmer - there is no misunderstanding - this lady is not nice. Do not stay here. "Hi Rob, I am sorry you were unhappy at my accommodation. You obviously mis understood me, I love children as a review a few days earlier will show you. Please remember to mention your number one priority in life next time you book accommodation."
Peaceful and Relaxing
Thank you for Maria for being such a great Host! We really enjoyed staying at your Bed and Breakfast!
