Having travelled from Christchurch to Gore, we received a lovely welcome with tea and homemade biscuits. Our host. Diane was lovely and made us feel at home. The bedroom was spacious and relaxing. We had a lovely breakfast, with choices. We later saw Dianes husband Barry as he is a fishing guide and had been with a client that day.... More

My husband, John, on his own, spent a few weeks travelling around NZ, finding nice places to stay and good fishing. He really enjoyed his stay here and found it a great pleasure to be cared for so well. The hosts were generous with their hospitality and local knowledge, in this case, of the fishing. He is looking forwards to... More

My husband & I drove around the beautiful South Island and spent a night at the Wentworth Heights B & B in Gore. It was a lovely place with affable proprietors who go out of their way to make you feel like you are staying amongst friends. The common area was very nice and the room very quiet and comfortable....

Barry and Diane are perfect hosts, making us feel that Wentworth Heights was a real home from home. Barry's knowledge (and, in my case, patience) was immense and Diane provided wonderful breakfasts and packed lunches for our days on the river. The rooms were very comfortable - I slept so soundly, dreaming of the one that got away while my... More

We arrived weary with one of us ill with flu. Barry's sense of humour and Diane's warm welcome were JUST what we needed. Wentworth is clean, well furnished, warm and home-like. Barry and Diane went out of their way to find a chiropractor for me, made a delicious breakfast and sent us on our way with fresh blueberry muffins. What... More

We spent several days fishing the rivers in the Gore area and found this to be an excellent base to operate from. The accomodations are excellent as were the breakfast meals. The Perkins were wonderful hosts and provided excellent advice on restaurants and other facilities in the area. Barry also provided us with good fishing information even though we didn't... More
