“My wife and I spent last night at this excellent B and B. The accommodation is well located a short car ride from the centre of town. Jennie and her husband are brilliant hosts who could not have made us more welcome and been more attentive to our requirements. They spent time with us before we arrived and during our stay helping us to plan our month in NZ. We have no hesitation in recommending them and will return on our next visit.”

Best wishes from us both, Alan and Judith Davidson”
“I highly recommend this place!:) Not only is the house absolutely gorgeous (my ideal house for sure.. house goals!) but the hosts were just amazing.

“Jennie & Tony are amazing hosts. I stayed with them for a week whilst starting work at the hospital and I highly recommend Chelsea House B&B to those coming to do the same. They both have years of experience leading tours and this shows in their attention to detail for making their guests truly welcome. I loved staying here and you will too! Highly recommended A***”
“Dear Jennie I want to thank you for hosting me at Chelsea House yesterday. What a treat!! When you get into a new place and meet new people.. there are many options... best to feel comfortable/at ease and relax like you had been there many times and just coming back after a long absence. ALL of these is what you made me feel at Chelsea House. You made me feel a member of your family, offering me tea, coffee, fruits, loaf of freshly baked loaf... with that simplicity and a happy smile on your face. The room was perfect. Breakfast with fresh fruits and yoghurts and baked croissant. No detail missing Helpful is not the word... is much more than that.. its quality time... which makes a BIG difference when you stay in a place like this. At the end it was not just a night I enjoyed .. it was an experience that I loved and appreciate you shared with me. Muchas gracias, Jose”

“This would have to be the best bnb in NZ. We stayed here 4 nights. From the moment we walked in we felt at home. Jennie explained the history of the old house and then showed us to our room. The room was spacious and extremely clean as was the ensuite. We were given the use of their lounge which had a small table in it. With use of the microwave, plates and cutlery available in a unit in the spacious passage way we were able to buy at the supermarket and cook our own meals. Breakfasts were filling served at the long table in the kitchen. As we didn't eat the croissants Jennie filled the with ham, cheese and tomato for our lunches. As we were away from home for a while I was able to catch up on our washing using their washing machine. Jennie and Tony are superb hosts, there if needed, if not, in the background leaving us to our own devices. We would highly recommend this BnB.”
“Fantastic hospitality Chose to stay at Chelsea House because of its proximity to an event we were attending in Whangarei. What a great find! Jennie & Tony are hosts extraordinaire - lovely people and a warm, welcoming home . Jennie went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. Best breakfast we've encountered in our bnb travels. Lovely comfortable well equipped rooms. Would definitely return”
“Great Bed and Breakfast - beautiful old home, super clean with very friendly hosts Chelsea House is a gorgeous old home, beautifully renovated and super clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and the hosts very welcoming and obliging. They went out of their way to be helpful and provided great local knowledge on places to eat and the region. A wonderful stay!”
“Excellent in every way, a standard by which others should be judged, a beautiful old kauri villa, comfortable, and quite but handy to all that you could need. Host went out of her way to provide some cleaning materials to allow us to clean a relatives headstone at Maunu cemetery, a simple gesture that meant so much.”
“Worth a visit to Whangarei - just to stay! absolutely everything was tops. hosts Jennie and Tony went out of their way to look after us, including travel tips and destination advice beyond their own region. the breakfast was yummy and included home made gf goodies for me! we were reluctant to leave.”
“How comfortable the room and bed felt. The house was very homely and the hosts were very welcoming and great chatting with. This was my first time B&B and I enjoyed it. Will go back again for sure. Thank you for a great stay and breakfast. You don't even need the small things like shampoo and shower gel everything is all provided. Was awesome!! Great value for your money!!”
