Location is good, the house is perfect! Cute pets!! Good home make breakfast!! Nice hosts!! Still some flaws since the winner price will bring high expectation: 1.Garden room is noisy when preparing breakfast; 2.The bathroom is outside the bedroom; 3.No WIFI signal in the garden room; 4.No cooking;

Good start to our south island trip. The best part are the hosts pam and denis. Thanks to them it does feel little like home. They give great tips what to do, where to eat etc. They were flexible and very helpful. Lilac rose has some great collection of unique items across the home. Personally for us there were 2... More

Our trip of a lifetime got off to the perfect start when we were met by Denis from the airport. From that moment both Denis and Pam looked after our every need and made us feel immediately at home at their beautiful Lilac Rose B&B. We chose the Mulberry room, which was very comfortable and quiet so a good night... More

The Garden Room has an amazingly comfortable bed - the softest I've ever slept in. The breakfast was delicious, and the menu was a great touch. Pam and Denis were very helpful - Denis picked us up at the airport and dropped us off. And they have a very cute dog!

Our night at Lilac Rose was the perfect kick off to our holiday! A beautiful B+B with very friendly and welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make our stay a relaxing and enjoyable one. We would definitely stay there again and have already been recommending it to friends.

We chose the garden room, though it was a small, it was very cosy with our large personal bathroom just an adjacent door away from the bedroom. Denis and Pam were lovely hosts, very attentive and yet gave us enough space. Maddie,... More

My husband and I arrived late on a Friday after multiple trip delays, and Dennis was lovely enough to come and pick us up from the airport to bring us back to their B&B. The Lilac Rose is a beautiful historic home that has been renovated beautifully. Our room was cosy and charming, very comfortable, with all that we required... More

Charming hosts and very comfortable accomodation. The lovely heritage home is a pleasure to be in, quiet peaceful surrounds yet easy to get to city and gardens. Don't miss the Bot garden and Mona Vale garden

Can only really add my own endorsement of the great things already said on here about Lilac Rose. We stayed here twice on our trip around the South Island, once in the Mulberry room and the 2nd time in the Attic room. Both were lovely and comfortable with quality furnishings and 'consumables'. Dennis and Pam are both very friendly and... More
