Just wanted to comment on how truely fantastic Fantails is. Both the accomodation and host were absolutely fabulous. It without doubt the quietest B&B in Levin. Heather the host / owner was an absolute delight. Nothing you needed was a problem. The little extra's that Heather would do as well such as baking daily organic lemon/lime muffins, or cookies or whatever else she would make that day. We returned to our cabin each night with some sort of goodies waiting for us as well as the guarentee that Heather had been in to turn on your electric blankets and turn the heater on. The home cooked breakfasts were awesome. Fresh fruit, toast (home made bread) juices, and full hot breaky. Nearly everything you eat from Fantails grows in one of Heathers gardens. Delicious. We both have already recommended the B&B to family and would not hesitate recommending to anyone in the future. We could not fault Fantails and look forward to our next stay.

Beautiful location. Very hospitable & friendly. Went out of their way to arrange winning dinner. Attention to smail details makes a big difference. Wonderful scrambled eggs. Home made preserves etc. Tremendous value for money. Scenery in NZ wonderful but difficult to remember the view of one lake/mountain from another after so many, BUT do remember the names of our host and what they did to make us feel so welcomed.
