This property richly deserves all the accolades it receives. The rooms are beautifully appointed, Gabrielle is a gracious and helpful hostess, the breakfasts are sensational, the grounds are lovely, and in every way this was a most pleasant stay. My room -- the Garden Room -- had a separate side entrance to the garden area, and a huge bathroom with... More

A lovely host providing warm hospitality throughout our stay. Gabrielle is so well travelled and knowledgeable in providing travel options n really takes good care of us. She went the extra miles to contact us ensuring our safety for our mount taranki hike. Her house is located at a convenient location with less than 5 mins drive away from town... More

Right from my first contact with Airlie House till when I left was easy. We stayed in the Studio apartment at the top of this 1900's Victorian Villa. The house was a lovely mix of modern and classic. All furnishings tasteful and very comfortable. There was a computer for my 6yr old to play games plus an extensive video library.... More

This is the perfect B&B for a couple. We stayed in the Garden Room room which was roomy and well appointed and included two toilets and a large bathroom with a shower and claw-foot bath. Our host Gabrielle was friendly and knows how to run a top-flight B&B. At breakfast you are spoilt for choice and any individual requirements are... More

Yes, I wasn't quite sure about this B&B since the price (NZ$ 165/night incl. internet & breakfast) made me worried about the quality compared to the other luxury B&B and Lodges we have chosen on our trip through NZ. So expectations were quite low when we drove from Wellington towards new Plymouth, enjoyed the perfect view towards the volcano. When... More

New Plymouth has so many wonderful buildings and taonga to share as well as friendly people, and Airlie House typifies the best of what New Plymouth has to offer. Airlie House is a historic home with luxurious rooms, hosted by Gabrielle who provides a brilliant home away from home. We had the upstairs studio, which had a good sized self... More
