The Gisborne Club - Boutique accommodation

Our host Tony was amazing. The first time staying at a bed and breakfast and he made my whole family feel at home. Great place for families to stay together.

Would have loved to have stayed longer.

Exceptional conversation

The Breakfast was wonderful. Continental breakfast as good as I have ever had in top restaurants. Pauline, The on site manager was amazing. Went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The house was beautiful with all the historic history and rooms you could wish for and the big billiards table was fantastic. The bedroom we originally booked was downstairs but as we were the only guests on this weekend we took the option to go upstairs with our own bathroom, as recommended by Pauline. (Did I say she was great!) It was a great option for us and worked really well!

Not enough bathrooms if you were sharing with people you did not know. We were fine as we were the only guests on the weekend we stayed, but having more bathrooms for the amount of bedrooms (and price) would be ideal. If you are going with family members though, and happy to share a bathroom, it would suffice. The outside area was very neglected and not up to the pics on the website and the back was a complete construction zone. I am aware that the cyclone caused damage but the area was still in much need of repair. It is a little far out from town and you need to drive to get there but the area is peaceful and quite beautiful with the trees as a backdrop.

Breakfast great. Host Tony very welcoming and hospitable. Cosy fire going. Very helpful with local knowledge and restaurant's. Would recommend to other travellers.

Really lovely place and great conversation - thank you.

all good thanks

A lovely building being restored. Comfortable beds, and nice lounge for relaxing.

It appears that the place has not be well maintained most recently, which is a shame as otherwise it is a lovely place. Unfortunately, the main host wasn't available for our stay, but his friend filled in as best she could. Hard to give a recommendation given our stay, but I think had the main host been available we would have had a better experience, and this is reinforced by others' comments.

What a lovely welcome from our personable and friendly host! From the moment we stepped in, Tony could not do enough for us. The bed was fabulously comfortable and we overlooked the garden so could watch kingfishers and other wildlife going about their routine. Breakfast included, whilst other meals necessitated a short drive to restaurants in town. This is a traditional B&B so all the guests sat around the same table for breakfast which was a great opportunity to meet international travellers or more local folk on work trips. Bathroom facilities were great, shared with 2 other guest rooms. On check-out day, we travelled around the east cape and later that evening, we received a call from Tony checking that all had gone well. Nice touch! We stayed one night and would definitely return.

Swell breakfast. Loved it. More than enough food.

Nothing I can think of.

Very Good and Hospitable. amazing host, and took every care to meet my requirements.

nothing, it was perfect.
