This must be either among the most fantastic, or THE most fantastic, B&B in NZ. It is a delightful old house in a stunning garden, and Ron & Carolyn really put themselves out to make one's stay memorable. We were overwhelmed by their kindness and generosity

This B&B was fantastic, our last night of a 3 week NZ holiday. What a way to end a wonderful break! The room was beautiful, the setting was magnificent, the house was splendid. I could go on and on, but if you are going to stay at a B&B on your NZ trip, pick Drury Homestead! Very warm &welcoming hospitality.

We stayed here on our wedding night and absolutely loved it. The breakfast Carolyn put on for us out by the stream was amazing. A stay we will certainly never forget.

We had an excellent stay here. We booked initially for two nights at the start of our trip and loved it so much we re booked for the end of our trip. Ron and Carolyn are lovely hosts who make you feel very welcome. The house and setting is beautiful. The best B&B we have stayed in ever!!

The location is superb, looking out over fields towards Auckland and mountains in the distance. A wonderful garden with stream, places to sit and all manner of hidden delights. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming, friendly or helpful. The best breakfast we have eaten in years and a beautiful home.

The Drury homestead was the most relaxing stay we have had. With a rural outlook to a stream, which adds to the stress-free atmosphere. Carolyn is always happy to help with making our stay as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Also with two very friendly dogs to add a homely feeling. We enjoyed our stay lots.
