The four of us had a lovely visit for one night. The accommodation was very good for a party 2 couples and we enjoyed our breakfast and the conversation. We were sorry that we were not able to stay longer

We booked 4 hotels, 2 motels and 7 B & B's on our trip and this was our favourite with wonderfully spacious accommodation (how many B&B's give you the whole floor to yourselves?), lots of extras and very reasonably priced. Peter and Janet were perfect hosts and the breakfast was really good. Sometimes when you choose accommodation which provides a... More

Don't miss this little treat if you're passing through Whakatane. A spotless home with the entire top floor for your exclusive use. Every detail thought of and a very comfy bed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt completely at home and spoilt. Breakfast is delicious and fresh and beautifully presented. Do ask the hosts for their recommendations for dinner,... More

Peter & Janet are the best possible hosts! They are very welcoming and most helpful advising upon (& booking) activities, restaurants, etc. Their guest accommodation is very spacious and comfortable, with a private roof terrace and great views. We would highly recommend it.

Have to agree with all the excellent reviews here. Warm welcome, excellent advice about what to do in the area (take the tip on The Wharf Shed restaurant), beautiful views from first floor, which is like having a whole flat to enjoy. Strong recommendation for Peter's ham and tomato on toast breakfast dish.

Stayed for two nights. Loved the space (the whole top floor is for guests), it felt like home away from home. Located on a steep hill not far from town centre. This place has a fantastic view of Whale Island. Peter and Jan were so welcoming and informative and were happy to help us out as much as possible. Breakfast... More

We stayed at Crestwood for 5 days in December 2011, and never got bored of the view. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and clean with everything you could possibly need including local maps and guidebooks - and if you can't find what you want there, Peter and Janet are on hand with excellent local knowledge, advice and recommendations. Even before... More
