Guest Reviews
- Alison (6/5): -
- heather (9/5): Beautiful terrace stay, overlooking the bay, with a host who pays real attention to detail. - This is a beautiful, well kept property that provided everything we needed for our stay in Bay of Islands.
The apartment is spacious with a comfy bed, open plan living area and everything we needed. From beach towels to sun cream, toiletries and kitchen implements. The terrace overlooking the bay was beautiful, the property was immaculately clean, with thoughtful provisions provided for breakfast.
Our host Inge was kind and knowledgeable about the area. We stayed over Christmas and she helped us book Christmas Day lunch, provided a beautiful breakfast hamper for us and sent up warm mince pies on Christmas Day which was a real comfort and treat.
Parking is convenient, just outside the front door.
We’d stay here again and would recommend it to family and friends. We liked it all.
- Anna (10/5): -
- Goran (10/5): - This place was perfect, had everything we needed and the hosts were amazing, highly recommended to everyone.
- Margery (10/5): Relaxing Getaway - Chalet Romantica was absolutely perfect. We stayed in the Belle Vue apartment and it was extremely comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and had a wonderful view. There was a spa pool and steam room, too providing an opportunity to relax after a day out. The location is perfect with local restaurants and amenities a short walk away.
Inga was a really warm and welcoming host, and provided some really thoughtful touches such as a personal welcome note, home-made treats, ready prepared beach bag and making a trip reservation on our behalf. Inga gave us lots of helpful tips and recommendations which we followed and found they worked well for us.
We would certainly recommend Chalet Romantica and appreciate all the care that Inga made to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Thank you Inga.
- Gray (10/5): Memorable and luxurious - So many thoughtful personal touches added to the room. For example a beach bag with towels and sunblock in it. Fresh water in drink bottles on the bedside tables. The breakfast hamper was amazing and our host knows a thing or two about luxury! Absolutely wonderful in every way. I have no complaints
- Gordon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jim (10/5): Inge was the most gracious host . There are a series of fine little touches added like complementary bubbles , lavender - Stunning hilltop location with an amazing balcony and view
- Geraldine (10/5): Would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend to anyone! - Lovely room with an amazing view. Inge was an exceptional host and couldn’t do enough for us. She went out of her way to ensure we had a great stay and even offered to give us lifts to and from the town. She also gave us great advice on things to do in Rotorua and on our onward travels. Absolutely nothing to find fault with!
- Paul (10/5): What a fantastic place for a weekend getaway for our Wedding Anniversary. Everything at this place was amazing, the room - Everything was fantastic, the room, the view and the hosts.
The little touches that was done in presenting the room was absolutely amazing. There were flowers on the bed with chocolate and just how the slippers and robe was folded.
And of course it topped up with the brilliant complimentary breakfast. The breakfast had everything that you’ll need. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast ❤️. There is nothing that we didn’t like. We loved the place.
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kimberly (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful hilltop location with great views; clean, quiet, comfortable So many narrow steps to our top flier room. But that can’t really be helped.
- Malcolm (10/5): The best accommodation of our trip by far. - Wonderful accommodation, great hosts. Attention to detail and the presentation of the property was exceptional. The hosts were fantastic, attentive and helpful throughout our stay. Nothing not to like
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful breakfast delivered to us, friendly hosts and beautiful views. Thank you for a wonderful week!
- Retha (10/5): Wonderful place to stay, owners were extremely attentive, facilities were great and perfect walking distance location to -
- Faiza (10/5): A most romantic and magical place. tranquillity and love in the air - The location is amasing. The lady who welcomed us and looked after us throughout our stay was really lovely. Available and remarkably kind. The bedding, the kitchen, the balcony and the breathtaking view make this a unique place.
I recommend this place for a romantic getaway.
We were on the top floor, which I highly recommend.
A most romantic place. Nothing.
Everything was perfect.
- Trevor (9/5): Enjoyed - Host friendly A bit small
- Thotri (10/5): Great location, great view, very hospitable host. - We really enjoyed our short stay at Chalet Romantica. The hostess was very attentive and helpful and gave us great tips for our stay. The rooms, the beds are simply first class and the view is really great.
- Margaret (10/5): Stunning room with stunning view - Our room was beautiful and so well equipped. The view from our balcony over the Bay of Islands was amazing. Our hosts could not have done more to make our stay more perfect.- it was an amazing start to our NZ adventure. The steps are a bit steep but worth it for the view from the room.
- Tania (9/5): Superb - Loved every detail, everything covered, sewing kit, shoe polish.....
- Paul (8/5): Very good - The owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast package was very generous and there was plenty of choice.
The spa and pool space was good and helped me relax between being out during the day and before heading out for the evening.
The view we had from the top room was stunning and the balcony area was comfy and spacious. The downstairs area which looked like a communal area for guests in the pictures was actually the owners residence, presumably including the garden space.
The TV was very old, so the screen quality wasn't great for watching anything when we wanted to chill out in our room.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rachel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mary (10/5): Great place for a romantic getaway! - Beautiful property and accommodations. Host was very helpful in booking local activities and recommending restaurants. The short hike back up the hill from the town. The positive is the view is stunning!

Her advise on local attractions was excellent. The provisions for the first breakfast were hugely abundant. The place was spotless. The views were to die for. The property is in a quite location so sleep was wonderfully peaceful. We can't wait to return..... We couldn't stay longer....:(:(
- Susan (10/5): A warm welcome with lots of extra little luxuries thrown in - We have stayed in a lot of B&Bs this trip. Chalet Romantica had the warmest welcome of all of them. I wanted somewhere special and the owners here could not have done more to make it special. Leaving

- Ian (10/5): Excellent accommodation and hosts for a relaxing stay in Paihia. - Very friendly helpful hosts. We stayed in the top studio unit - extremely comfortable and spacious. Very nice little kitchenette. Extremely clean and well presented with fresh flowers and welcoming fruit bowel. King bed was very comfortable. A most relaxing and enjoyable stay. The room was up 2 flights of stairs - it was not a problem for us, but would be difficult for a less mobile person.

- Sven (8/5): Bay of islands - Nice bed and breakfast. Super friendly host. Would stay there again.
- Candace (10/5): Delightful place to stay in Paihia - My husband and I had an absolutely delightful stay at the Chalet Romantica. Nadine is the perfect host, providing a warm welcome and lots of great insight and recommendations on activities and restaurants. Her enthusiasm for the area is infectious. The chalet is very well located on a hill overlooking the bay. It is a very short walk to restaurants and the waterfront. Views from the rooms and terrace of the chalet are gorgeous. Our suite was very spacious and well outfitted. The toiletries were really nice. Nadine prepared a lovely hot breakfast every morning in addition to a good continental breakfast.
- Yehiamn (10/5): - In tis New Zealand trip we have stayed in many B&B, and this was by far THE BEST. The location is wonderful with a super view on the Bay, Breakfast was awsome (with a view), the room is very comfortable, everything perfect. On top of everything Nadin and Inge (her Mom) were the greatest hosts!
If we are ever in the area, we are sure to come back, and will certainly send our friends.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect in every way! - We arrived to Chalet Romantica and were immediately stunned by the gorgeous property and views. Everything is as described in the photos and the views are even better in real life. Nadine went out of her way to assist us- even preparing an in-suite breakfast when our excursion departed around 6am one morning. This is probably the best B&B we’ve stayed at in NZ and would definitely come back if the opportunity arises. Thank you for a magical and amazing stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The attention to detail by the hostess was amazing. From the beautifully present breakfast to the ultra comfortable bed. This is one place we can't wait to return to. A special place that makes it visitors feel special as well.
- frances (10/5): Peaceful Place in Paihia - Nadine and Chris were wonderful hosts. Breakfast was not only tasty, but beautifully set. Nadine even gave us a beach bag with towels and sun block to take with us on our boat trip to the islands.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very rarely can you give top marks to somewhere you have stayed but this is the exception.
Not only is it a beautiful property but Nadine and Inge cannot do enough for you. Breakfasts are wonderful and the hospitality is second to none.

Inge provided a terrific breakfast in a beautiful covered enclosed porch which looks out over the bay. It was truly a wonderful stay in the Chalet.
- Al&Laura (10/5): - Couldn’t have been more welcoming......I can’t express enough how amazing this place is.....the small touches were what did it for me and Inge is a truly amazing hostess.

.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Chalet Romantica lives up to its name. Inge kindly upgraded us. Overall a wonderful 2 nights. Breakfast was fantastic and Inge was a superb host - friendly, informative and attentive. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.
- L (10/5): Lovely room and equally lovely host - B&Bs can be a coin toss but Chalet Romantica is a gem. Inge the owner is lovely and will make you feel more than welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless and the view amazing. Youll be in for a treat for breakfast... beautiful and thoughtfully arranged table. So sad we were only there 1 night but we wont forget this place
- James (10/5): - This is a wonderful place to stay. The Chalet is great. The view is incredible. Breakfast is probably the best we have ever had at a bed and breakfast.
- Dante (10/5): Do not hesitate stay here! - Place was amazing! Inge the owner put her personal touch on everything making this a great experience. If we were not moving on we would have stayed the whole trip. Breakfast was amazing and Inge provided tips and tricks to nagavgate the area. 10/10
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bay views - Wonderful owner and property... we will come again
- jack m (10/5): Wonderful stay and we were treated like royalty - This was a great experience! This is a high end B&B with the most wonderful hosts. Our room had a spectacular view of the bay. The house sits on top of a hill overlooking part of the town with views out the bay to the ocean. Our room had its own private balcony with chairs and a Love seat with views of the bay. A wonderful breakfast is included where the host, Inge, will cook your eggs to order. Each morning there was a fresh yogurt dish at your setting. There was also a fresh cut fruit dish, your choice of cereals, breads, croissants, cheeses etc. Inge and Edi go out of their way to provide all the help they can to make your stay as nice as possible. We would most definitely stay here again! There was also a very good WiFi connection which we find very important in our travels.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice stay. Thoroughly recommended.
- hel (10/5): Lovely boutique B&B with lots of personal touches - Spent a few days there over Christmas. We had a lovely relaxing stay. The location is good to walk into town from, nice views from the balcony and an exceptional breakfast. You are really made to feel welcome by the family and I can't fault it.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place and host. Amazing breakfast!! Highly recommend.
- Carol (10/5): - Exceptional welcome and personalised service. A First class Bed and Breakfast that goes the extra mile to ensure an unique and memorable stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Paradise - Fabulous room, view, host, breakfast. Can’t say enough positive things about this place. One of the best bed and breakfast resorts ever stayed at.
- Chris (10/5): Centrally located property, easy to walk into Paih - Inge is an accomplished hostess and made us feel very welcome. She is a mine of information on local activities and restaurants. Breakfasts are a treat.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful stay with wonderful hosts! - Chalet Romantica was a wonderful place to stay. The room was lovely, with a very comfortable bed. The shower was luxurious. Special touches, like herbs and chocolate on the bed, cosy house coats and tasty cookies made us feel welcome. Breakfast in the morning was superb, with fresh yogurt, cheeses, croissants, fresh orange juice, great coffee, followed by a made to order hot breakfast. The view from the breakfast room was breathtaking.
As good as the room and the food were, the hosts were really the best part of the visit. Inge, Ed and their son Alex couldn’t have done more to make us feel at home. In fact, it felt more like a visit with family than a stay at a bed and breakfast.
- Marilyn (10/5): Absolute attention to every detail - Inge is a wonder. She gives attention to guests concerns and questions quickly and with charm. She thinks of the little details such as arranging tours ahead, having extra amenities such as hand laundry liquid in the room, and clothslines! Breakfast choices include eggs prepared to order, very fresh fruit compote and cheeses, breads, meusli, and more. She even drove us to the Intercity bus stop upon departure. You can see beautiful views over the activities on the bay from the breakfast room, terrace and decks.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great stay. Would definitely recommend. She was very helpful in booking our activities
- Verified traveler (10/5): Best in New Zealand - My wife and I have traveled the world and have never experienced a B&B finer. Inge's attention to details and her warm hospitality is second to none. An experience everyone should have at least once in their life.
- Matt (10/5): Great service, location, and view. - 10 stars!!!! Best service ever. Close to everything. First time I've felt compelled to write a review, and I've stayed at hundreds of hotels.
- Verified traveler (10/5): No negatives - We had a great time. Inge the owner was very helpful, pleasant, and attentive to our needs. Breakfast was amazing and the view from our private balcony was the best.
- Karen (10/5): First rate lodging with outstanding view of bay. - The Chalet is outstanding: clean, spacious, drop dead view of Paihia and bay, home cooked breakfast (more than u can eat) and Inge is willing to help u plan your visit and reserve tours. Quiet because there r only 4 rooms.
- Harnik (10/5): Best B&B Experience - Inge (host) made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast in the morning was masterchef quality. She also booked the tour for us and made dinner reservations in Russell. She got us a discount on the tour. I would book again just to visit her.
The place itself is beautiful with very nice views of the bay. It is also very close to the town center. The host has arrangement for parking in the town. I did a lot of research between Paihia and Russell and in conclusion, I would say if there is a room available, just go ahead and book with Chalet Romantica.
- Verified traveler (10/5): excellent place to stay - Chalet Romantica is an excellent place to stay. The views from here are stunning and
Inge the owner is a great hostess, the breakfasts were great.10/10.
- David (10/5): Best B and B ever! - Wow,from the first greeting from Inge,to the final farewell,nothing was too much trouble.The breakfasts were wonderful,the views were spectacular,and the extra touches made this a 6 star stay!
This accommodation cannot be beaten.
Enjoy!
