5.3.24 My husband and I stayed at the Old Post Office Guesthouse
B&B on a recent trip to New Zealand. Deb was very
accommodating, welcoming us early after our long trans-pacific
flight and drive up from Auckland. It was the perfect haven after
our long transit: quiet, comfortable, and spacious. There was
only one other guest, so it often felt as if we had the entire house
to ourselves! The gardens are gorgeous, and the rooms, baths,
and kitchen all well appointed.
In the morning, Deb provided a scrumptious breakfast, with a
wide selection of homemade jams to complement the fresh
bread and muffins. Cereal, yogurt, coffee/tea were also on offer,
and we left refreshed and ready to begin exploring the Kauri
Coast.
Only a few minutes away is the Kauri Museum, which was a
gem — fascinating information on the kauri trees that once
dominated the forests, and lots of historic artifacts and
photographs that helped convey the challenges faced by the
early European settlers. One of the best small museums in New
Zealand, and not to be missed.
The Old Post Office Guesthouse B&B is a lovely alternative to
the motels and commercial development found in much of the
Northland. I heartily recommend it!

26.3.22 We had a lovely lovely stay Deb ... Loved the extra little touches you do.CM
*Stayed 2 nights in the Garden Studio & can't recommend Deb & the gorgeous Bnb enough. Every detail thought of. Deb, herself is a fountain of knowledge in regard to the local must do's etc.But what is the standout is her all encompassing hospitality. Thank you.

la "Guest House Old Post Office" de Deb et Kevin est vraiment sensationnelle. Nous n'avons pas vu Kevin qui était parti depuis 3 jours à la pêche "au gros". La maison est aussi charmante que notre Hôte Deb, pleine d'attentions pour ses pensionnaires. Notre chambre était très confortable, et la maison joliment décorée dans le pure style britannique. Le petit déjeuner était fantastique avec des confitures de toute sorte avec différents pains élaborés par notre Hôte. Deb nous a fait un accueil très chaleureux. Nous recommandons cet établissement qui par son raffinement vaut largement un Hôtel 4 étoiles.
NB this review has to be translated from french, as my knowledge of english is too bad to be understandable.

Had another wonderful stay at this guesthouse. Deb is a lovely host, the breakfast stewed plums and wonderful condiments take me back to my childhood. Unfortunately my stays have been work related, meaning early mornings, but next time I'm planning on ordering one of her yummy looking dinners and having a chat over a wine or two.

We both want to thank you for the lovely stay...You started us off on our road trip in fine style...there was none to match the unique quaintness of your homey establishment.

Thank you so much for everything. All the personal little touches.....to find our yummy breakfast all laid out so beautifully was the icing on the cake. So pleased we chose to stay at The Old Post Office!
* Ann and Kevin NZ June 20. We would like to thank you for looking after us last Sunday night. Loved the Old Post Office with all its charm. Also for going out of your way to cook us dinner, and accommodate me with my food issues.Thanks again
*Linda NZ June 20 : Our family-3 couples and a baby absolutely loved staying at The Old P.O. The place is reminiscent of by gone years. Quaint and spotlessly clean. Deb, the perfect quintessential friendly host. The inclusive breakfast is divine. We highly recommend staying here!
