Feels more like a home than hotel so takes a little getting used to. Self check in and help yourself type place but very comfortable.

Rooms were spacious and continental breakfast setup is great. Very nice breakfast area and shared lounge room. The owners are very helpful and friendly Upstairs kitchen with specialty teas is a nice touch. Swimming pool is very nice. Highly recommend this place.

Very hospitable host - a comfortable friendly place to stay. Spacious, with lots of living area spaces, it's so easy to relax and enjoy, in private or in communal areas. Excellent accomodation.

Beautiful, stately house with oodles of room and very comfortably set up for relaxing.

Expected more than a serve-yourself breakfast of cereal and toast and coffee.

A beautifully maintained 120+ year old house with modern pool, pool house and decks. Our first floor room had high ceilings, nice seating area with bay window looking out on pool area, very comfortable king sized bed, updated en-suite bathroom.

Lovely place, friendly staff, lovely balcony views, excellent facilities.

A few rooms have a private but detached bathroom accessible in the hallway. Obviously this isn't something that can be changed and was no issue at all but just be aware of it in case you are sensitive to that

The rooms are so spacious and the whole place is so well fit out and finished.

The property was amazing and the hosts were great. Would definitely stay again.

It was a beautifully refurbished old house. Extremely comfortable and tastefully furnished. Very comfortable and spacious bedroom and superb bathroom. Also a lovely Lounge and range of drinks and snacks supplied. Walking distance to good restaurants too. Thank you both!

Continental breakfast on our second day was disappointing in that there was insufficient food for the number of guests = appreciate the owners had to take an early flight to Auckland so all forgiven!

beautiful property which was perfect for our needs - would certainly stay there again

There was no tea making facilities in the bedroom we had to walk upstairs to make tea or get a drinking glass. Also as a gf person I had toast or toast for breakfast. No cereals for GF.

Ease of access to the town meant that we could walk from property. We loved the comfortable room, and sitting room. The owners were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Gisborne area.

Everything was exceptional at Cedar House.

Stayed in February 2024

Everything was fine

We had a large, bright, downstairs ensuite room with access to the pool area. It was well decorated and the room and the bed were very comfortable. The shower was also great. Breakfast was well laid out in dining room with shared family table. Good choices and very relaxed. The flow of the common areas was lovely. After checking out we sat outside in the pool area whilst waiting for our ride. A pleasant end to our comfortable stay.

Previously i was offered a full breakfast which included Bacon and Eggs. Not this time ???

Nothing - everything was spot on.

Bathroom was beautiful and very fancy. Breakfast was well organized and coffee was excellent.

There was nothing we didn’t like, only comment that, as we were the first to stay in the Pool House, perhaps side lamp in the bedrooms and one hair dryer - but you couldn’t fault this place - it was fantastic!

Everything. The property itself, the hosts, the area - was the best stay

The private bathroom was across the hall, but this was a minor inconvenience. There was no fridge in the room, but there was a portable cooler for my medications. Again, only a minor quibble.

The room was large and very comfortable, as were the public rooms. The staff were very accommodating, and the location was quiet and perfect for my purposes. There was a generous range of breakfast options and hot drinks available at any time of the day. I would certainly stay again.

Location was excellent. Breakfast was quite lengthy with family so we had use of breakfast room for several hours.

Stayed in October 2023

Unfortunately our plans and schedule did not allow us to enjoy the facility and amenities it offered as a whole. Next time we will definitely leave more time to relax and take a swim, have a meal and enjoy the property and other amenities on offer.

The property and accommodation itself was delightful and comfortable, and although our room did not include an ensuite, we did have a very private, lovely & modern bathroom opposite our bedroom. There was also a thoughtfully stocked kitchenette with a great selection of complimentary beverages, snacks and treats. Unfortunately we did not get to have the delicious complimentary breakfast that was available each morning, as we already had plans.

All was amazing

Would have liked a work lamp on the desk.

Loved the property. Comfortable b&b, owners had well thought out guests' needs. The extra snacks in the kitchenette were a nice touch. Clear instructions provided at arrival (arrived late for check-in)

Nothing much

It was warm comfortable and welcoming. Decor really good.

Stairs but only because I have a heart condition and stairs make it worse (private comment)

Rooms. Facilities. Real life hosting in Gisborne. Being from Martinborough it is frustrating know what it should be like. How good?

Stayed in April 2023

I wouldve loved an ensuite rather than a private bathroom

Loved the room, it was clean and comfortable with everything we required.
