“Peaceful oasis”

Clean, comfortable, amazing hosts, excellent breakfast.

We had such a lovely stay here! The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was a real highlight, delicious, and clearly prepared with care. Everything about our stay was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Would absolutely recommend and would love to come back!

Nice and quiet

“Super comfortable B&B with an incredible breakfast to look forward to”

The rooms were beautifully decorated, well appointed and very comfortable and clean. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and the breakfast was first class. We also had an unexpected bonus on our walk back from the town after dinner at No.31. We saw the most amazing display of Southern lights. Typical that my good camera was back at the B&B but the images on my iPhone are pretty neat anyhow

“Ray and Rys couldn’t have been more accommodating. From the welcome to the comfortable room and excellent breakfasts.”

Personal friendly service

“A perfect place away from the rat race”

The hosts went out of their way to ensure your comfort and enjoyment during the stay. Nothing was too difficult and their friendly demeanour and pleasant conversations made for a restful stay. You feel like friends not just guests. Breakfast was fabulous and customised to my vegetarian needs. Thank you Rhys and Rayone :)

“Fabulous accomodation. Breakfast was delicious!”

We found this accomodation to be absolutely perfect for our first night in NZ. Host provide a great intro on arrival and were so welcoming. The bed was comfortable and plenty of little extras such as snacks and towels to borrow. Breakfast was fabulous and I would recommend this accomodation any day to my family and friends. Thank you so much for providing this accomodation.

The hosts were great. They had thought of lots of little details that made it special

“Perfect hosts, beautiful rooms.”

Very quiet/ peaceful location just out of the township. It was very clean and tidy. Ray and Rhys were amazing hosts, very inviting and the breakfast was delicious and cant forget the muffins .....!

Lovely, friendly hosts with great tips for the local area and beyond. Delicious breakfast and muffins!

The decor was beautiful. The bed was so comfortable. The place was emaculate. Rhys and Rayone were friendly and went the extra mile dropping us off. The cooked breakfast was delicious.

“An exceptional B&B experience!”

Our hosts were so welcoming and helpful. The room was superb and so thoughtfully decorated. Our room had a fantail theme. The shower had great pressure and the bed was very comfortable. It was lovely not having a TV in the room. So peaceful inside and out. The breakfast was beyond our expectations. As it was a weekend, we received a full cooked breakfast that was plated up on a platter for us to share. Our hosts explained how nearly all the food was local or sourced locally from the home made preserves to the eggs. There were even towels for us to use at the pools. As it was the last night of our holiday, this B&B was the perfect place for our final night of our holiday and we would definitely book again next time we come to Hamner not only for the accommodation but for the very hospitable hosts.

“One of the best Bed and Breakfasts in New Zealand.”

Excellent location, really lovely cosy and warm rooms. The hosts were so friendly, so warm, and made us feel at home.

“We had an extremely relaxing and comfortable stay here.”

Very clean and comfortable room. Extremely lovely and welcoming hosts. Little things like water, snacks and chocolates etc were a great touch. Hosts cooked a beautiful breakfast and were extremely engaging and informative. We have rarely stayed at a more welcoming place. They have two lovely furry friends as well! Wonderful stay.

“Attention to detail made it a great stay!”

We were impressed with Ray and Reece’s attention to detail. They were well organised and thought of the needs of the visitors. Extra touches such as snacks, towels for the thermal springs and muffins to go were all provided as was a wonderful breakfast. It was very clean and pleasant! Thanks so much!

Such welcoming hosts.

“I would highly recommend Birdsong Alley.”

Ray and Rhys were very welcoming and had a lovely warm room ready for us on a wet and chilly evening. The breakfast was very good and the muffins delicious.
