From humble beginning’s , my house was completely renovated several years ago , plans to travel ran into the pandemic , so made the decision to run a B&B , l really enjoy helping people out , giving them a great place to stay , and exceeding expectations , Having travelled myself , l feel well-placed to know what my guests require, be it relaxation , attending events & functions , to just having some quiet time in a private setting . I always enjoyed my privacy & have made sure this is an easy option also for my valued guests . Guests have exclusive entry to the room - no space is shared with myself as have a seperate access , l also include the outdoor furniture & loungers in this offer . Guests have their own personalised parking place that is for their exclusive usage as long as staying at Te Rukutai - The rooms are kept well-maintained & regulary cleaned , also happy to cater for any special requests if possible .
Welcome to my place ! I am fully committed to providing the best experience possible .. Happy to provide advice & recommendations for a wide range of activities from concerts , sporting events , workout options & of course hospitality & restaurants
Most guests appreciate the quiet location on the Eastern side of Bastion Point with enough elevation to really enjoy their stay -close to Tamaki drive with its beaches & hospitality options , only a short walk away
