Teichelmanns Bed and Breakfast

What a delightful place to stay. Frances and Brian are very attentive and thoughtful hosts. They even booked our evening meal at a local restaurant for us. They also packed a tasty, nutritious and energy filled lunch for the next leg of our Wilderness Cycle Trail adventure. We loved the afternoon tea on arrival with home baking. The house has a wonderful old world charm rooted in local history. thoroughly enjoyable experience.

My partner & I spent 2 nights at Teichelmann’s B&B and found the hospitality & cooked breakfast second to none. Frances & Brian were the most considerate hosts (nothing was too much of a problem). The house itself & the room was charming & super clean (beds were comfy & shower pressure great). Location was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful West Coast experience. We will be returning again.

This was a fabulous ‘home away from home‘ and everything from the welcome cup of tea in the beautiful hydrangea filled garden to the comfy bed was perfect. |We stayed in the little cottage which is beautifully furnished in a homely style and so comfortable and clean! The shower is to die for! We even had robes! |Brian and Frances are a very hospitable couple and both are full of information on the house and Hokitika itself. It was a joy talking to them. |The breakfast was brilliant. Homemade preserves, fruit, yogurt, eggs and bacon amongst other temptations. |We stayed for two nights and would happily have stayed for more.

We had the best experience staying with Francis and Brian, such a warm welcome and very comfortable home from home amenities plus a wonderfully comfortable bed. |Francis & Brian hosted us and their other guests superbly and we felt part of an extended family, our only regret was that we were only staying one night!|If you’re planning on visiting Hokitika make sure you book at Teichelmann’s, you won’t want to leave!

This place is a bit dated but has charming hosts. It is located in the centre of Hokitika with several sites within walking distance. There is ample free parking in front of the place. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. The room was a little cramped with large comfortable beds and a bathroom across the hall. The shower curtains vacuum into the stall but the shower has good hot water as you take a shower. There was some street noise with the windows open. There is no air conditioning but a fan was provided and the room did cool off at night. The breakfast was good and tasty. They provide a beautiful common room with free sherry or port. The electrical outlets tended to cut out after 20 minutes of use.| Overall, it was not good value for money.

We stayed one night at this old fashioned B&B. It was great! Our hosts Francis and Brian were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The room was comfortable and airy with exclusive use of a shower and toilet across the hall. |A good breakfast was a communal affair with other guests and our hosts. It felt very homely. |As it was pouring with rain when we checked out Brian kindly walked us to our car with an umbrella as we carried our bags. Service doesn’t get much more personal than that. |Highly recommended.

We had the priviledge of spending 2 nights enjoying the world class hospitality of Brian and Frances. The welcome, the luxurious accomodation, the amazing breakfasts has created an amazing memory of our time in Hokitika while biking the West Coast trail! Thanks to you both! Absolutely wonderful.

The hosts here went out of their way to help us out when we had been let down with a booking elsewhere. We don't normally stay in B&Bs but had a wonderful experience here. Greeted with homemade biscuits and tea. The bedroom had comfortable bed, great shower, fresh milk for tea as required. Breakfast was delicious using local produce including boysenberry jam and Manuka Honey. The hosts couldn't do enough for us, advice on outings and interesting historical local knowledge. Provided with insect repellent to fight off the midges on our walks. Very kind and helpful. Would highly recommend.
