Guest Reviews
- Jan Harrison (10/5): - Jan and Ian are super hosts, very knowledgeable, and informative. Their home is immaculate and extremely comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. It's 10 out of 10 in all aspects. Nothing at all to dislike
- martin (9/5): - The hosts jsn and Ian were fabulous. They made you feel so at home. It was so clean and breakfast was good too. The separate bath and toilet. Lack of teamaking facilities in the room.
- Naomi (10/5): - Wondeful homestay! Jan and Ian are lovely people who attended to every detail to make my stay with them comfortable and enjoyable. Good healthy breakfast, pleasant comfortable room, everything clean & tidy with perks like a bathrobe and being able to do my laundry. All perfect.
- Gulzar (10/5): Best stay ever - Jane and Ian who own the property welcomed us very warmly. We had such a lovely breakfast every morning and had interesting chats with Jane and Ian, they are the nicest hosts I have ever come across. Would highly recommend staying here when visiting Westport . Jane gave us a bunch of Feijoa fruit from her garden when we were leaving Nothing
- Mary Kay (10/5): Absolutely perfect! - Jan and Ian were the loveliest hosts, couldn’t ask for more. So clean, welcoming and extra comfy bed. Breakfast was beautiful and delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Usually prefer a bathroom directly adjoining bedroom, but it was clear in posting it’s down the hallway so no complaints. Extra extra extra clean and spacious (and comfy robes) more than offsets
- Gerald (10/5): A lovely place to stay that exceeded our expectations. - The owners Jan and Ian were friendly and welcoming, and the house was well setup for visitors, with everything we needed. The rooms were comfortable clean and quiet and there was a good restaurant close by. Breakfast was fantastic and really well organised, and the hosts gave us great advice on what we should do when we left on the rest of our holiday. I can't think of anything that could have been better.
- Angela (10/5): Best homestay experience ever - Everything is so neat and clean. The best part are the hosts, welcoming, entertaining, helpful. I would love to have them as neighbours. The breakfast cooked by them was delicious and I personally love to talked with them. Anything

- Isabelle MONNIER CRUSSET (10/5): - Un bed and breakfast absolument exceptionnel ❤️ Que ce soit la chambre magnifique, la salle de bain impeccable ou surtout l’extrême gentillesse de Jan et Ian, tout était parfait. Un accueil chaleureux et un séjour inoubliable. Merci encore pour cette belle expérience ! Rien
- Christine (9/5): - Tolle Gastgeber, die Zimmer in ihrem Eigenheim vermieten. Sehr nett, sehr hilfsbereit und morgens ein Frühstück, das keine Wünsche offen lässt. Unser Bad war nebenan, das hat aber in keinster Weise gestört, zumal auch Bademäntel zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Eine schöne Erfahrung auf unserer Reise.
- Sue (10/5): Perfect - Nice hosts , very clean , great breakfast Nothing
- bernhard (10/5): -

- Vincent (9/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): - Everything was great - superb hosts, so friendly and helpful. Immaculate room, very comfortable too. Location was perfect place to start exploring the west coast of NZ.
- Katharina (9/5): Wir würden wieder hingehen! - Ganz tolle Gastgeber! Sehr nett und freundlich und interessiert. Nach einem ausgezeichneten Frühstück haben sie sich noch zu uns gesetzt und wir haben erzählt. Es war schade, dass wir nicht noch länger Zeit hatten. Die Lage ist gut, schön ruhig, man kann in den Ort laufen, es gibt ein nettes Lokal etwa 5 Minuten zu Fuß weg. Es war ungewohnt, dass das Bad nicht am Zimmer dran war.
- Maree (10/5): Welcoming hosts, clean room, great location! - Our hosts Ian and Jan were lovely, very welcoming and provided us with plenty of suggestions on what to do and where to eat around town. I was there to run the Old Ghost Ultra and they helped me out by washing my running gear - definitely above and beyond. Both had a great sense of humour and I would highly recommend Havenlee should you be heading to Westport. Not applicable- it was all fabulous!
- Lawrence (10/5): Westport Homestay - Everything. Ian & Jan were lovely hosts and made us feel so welcome and at home. Nothing at all.
- Trevor (10/5): -
- Jose (10/5): Exceptionnel ! - Jan et Ian nous ont accueilli très chaleureusement dans leur jolie maison et leur jardin fleuri. Leur disponibilité et leur extrême gentillesse nous a fait nous sentir comme chez nous. Nous avons profité d’un excellent et copieux petit-déjeuner et partagé un agréable moment avec nos hôtes et nos sympathiques co-locataires de Chicago. Une adresse exceptionnelle que nous recommandons sans hésiter. Rien. Tout était parfait !

- David (9/5): BEST PLACE IN WESTPORT - AWESOME Breakfast, very hospitable, great hosts, clean, tidy, thoughtful hosts, close to amenities and lived up to all expectations and its reputation. Friendly folk that were very helpful. Only a very small matter in that the lighting in the bathroom didn't shine on the face for shaving but i did it by feel. THIS PLACE IS REALLY GOOD AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Unexpectedly we were faced with catching a bus at 7am and our hosts got up early to have breakfast ready for 6am and dropped us off at the bus stop. We liked Westport and enjoyed the walk to the seal colony at Cape Foulwind. Nothing.

- Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
- Flanagan (10/5): A lovely stay - This was a lovely stay, in a lovely home, of lovely people. Jan & Ian were the loveliest of people & it was a joy to spend the first morning of 2025 with them. The room and facilities were great. The place was spotlessly clean. Jan and Ian were very helpful with my questions. I would highly recommend Havenlee Homestay.
- Andrea (10/5): Highly recommended for night before heading south on the west coast road. - Hosts were warm, friendly, and welcoming. Lovely home with beautiful gardens.

Location was very convenient to town, brewery, restaurants, beach and all conveniences. Would highly recommend.

- Cindy (10/5): A little gem! - Our first stay in a Homestay. Lovely Ian and Jan made us so very welcome,making us an afternoon cup of tea,just like home. The house is immaculate,clean and comfortable. We had our own table and chairs overlooking to beautiful garden. Our breakfast was beautifully presented and so much choice. Even had Feijoas,my first taste this trip! The hosts were perfect. We certainly would stay again!
- Tania (10/5): Homely stay with amazing breakfast - We had a wonderful stay at Jan and Ian’s, such a lovely couple and beautiful bnb! The room is very well appointed, the private bathroom just down the hall has bath and shower and a separate toilet, and they provide robes to go between your room and the bathroom which we found very thoughtful and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing with fresh fruit, home-made toasted muesli (so good!), juice, coffee/tea, toast, jams, and a choice of eggs and/or bacon. It’s an easy walk from the centre, and there are several restaurant options nearby. We spent a day at Karamea from here which worked really well, and Jan gave us great tips of what to do and where to go, both in Karamea and on our way to Hokitika (we really enjoyed our stops at Constant Bay, the Truman Walk and the pancake rocks). We will most definitely stay at Ian and Jan’s again when visiting Westport! Nothing, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
