A gorgeous house, beautifully decorated, with the lovely village of Eastbourne just a 5-minute walk away, as are the walking tracks to Butterfly Creek. We all loved the tranquillity, though the teenagers were also pleased to discover the PlayStation! Simply the nicest place we have ever stayed in New Zealand, and a highlight of this trip through the country. Thank... More

The Walnut Tree B&B is better, by far, than any 5 star hotel you could possibly find! It's the personal touch of being genuinely welcomed in Jasmine and Alan's family home! It's going downstairs in the mornings to find Jasmine had woken up early to lay us the most beautifully set table - complete with candles and fine crockery -... More

What a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a girls weekend away! Our wonderful host - Jasmine, made us feel very welcome and relaxed. The breakfast was so yummy, that we couldn't wait to get down there on our 2nd morning! The accommodation was perfect - comfy beds, great shower pressure, huge tv, and the view was breathtaking. We'll be... More

We stayed 2 nights with Jasmin and Alan and really enjoyed it despite the windy weather! Everything about this gracious home from the meals to the bedrooms, lounge, little alcove pantry, bathroom and toiletries, was first class. My husband soaked in the spa pool just down the garden path. There was off street parking for our hire car.

This B & B ticked all the boxes for our Girls Weekend Away. Beautiful home with tasteful decor and many special little extras and absolute comfort for day time and night time living. So nice on a stormy day to relax in privacy in the spa or in front of the fire, pour the tea or wine and select the... More

The Walnut Tree B&B has a very special place in our hearts. Eastbourne is an idyllic seaside community, and the warm stay we had with Jasmine and Alan only made it more delightful. The accommodation itself is not only top notch, but full of character. The amenities are truly stunning. Lovely firm bed - modern bathroom - romantic spa pool... More

Hosts Jasmin and Alan MacDonald run an absolutely wonderful B&B. The room was lovely...........with a panoramic view of the Bay in Wellington. The meals were sumptuous and the warm hospitality rivals any B&B in New Zealand. Gracious and welcoming, the Walnut Tree is not to be missed.
