About the host

Hosted by David & Maria

Host profile image
Maria and David moved from Byron Bay in Australia to Eltham in early 2020. We spent over a year restoring the property to her former glory including a full central heating system and new bathrooms. We did a lot of the work ourselves and see ourselves as "lucky custodians" rather than owners of this grand old piece of NZ Architecture.

Why they chose this property

Probably the most luxurious Bed and Breakfast in New Zealand so the travellers tell us.

What makes this property unique

Uniquely located to provide luxury travel accommodation in Sth Taranaki.
