Villa Walton Bed & Breakfast

Villa Walton was an absolute DREAM to stay at. We wish we had been there for 2 nights instead of 1. The hosts were delightful. We stayed in the Walton Cottage which was super clean and cozy with a private kitchen. We notified the hosts before our arrival our desire to have dinner with them as well as takeaway lunches on the day we checked out. All the meals we had there were absolutely amazing: steak dinner was a chiefs kiss, the breakfast was a favorite of our trip, and the takeaway lunches were perfect for our day in the car. 100% recommend Villa Walton!!

Beautiful B&B with absolutely lovely rooms and decor and fixtures—- everything is so cozy and well done. Gardens are gorgeous, hosts are amazing and it was so fun that they had a moment to have a glass of wine with us! Great conversation and evening. I like to think we could be friends if we lived closer! We wish our travel agent had booed us for a few nights with them instead of just one. Make sure and arrive on time and not late so you can truly enjoy the home and space and the garden. You don’t want to rush in and out for sure. Also to Neil— my husband wanted to let you know he found and safely secured for passage the Awildian purple gin you recommended.

What a great place to stay! Sue, the owner, is so welcoming and really went above and beyond. The house is absolutely beautiful and so are the grounds. I took dozens of photos. The gardens are filled birds singing and beautiful flowers. The room itself was beautifully decorated and had an extremely comfortable bed and very nicely decorated ensuite. This is a wonderful place to stay a romantic getaway. Sue is also a great cook! The very large breakfast she made for us was fantastic. I highly recommend a stay here!

Amazing stay! Would highly recommend for couples looking for a great b&b! We love the breakfast and hospitality!

As any other first timer tourists to NZ, most of us makes a stop at hobbiton. We did the same, and this accomodation is about 20 min away from hobbiton. It is not just a accomodation, it is a 5* jewel. A beautiful-looking cottage, it gave a very good impression when we arrived. Very neat garden, too bad the weather wasn’t on our side, hence we couldn’t enjoy the garden that much. But that didn’t spoil our stay here. Neil had warmly welcomed us and showed us around. The sitting and dining rooms have such a cozy and welcoming vibes. Good selection of wines and any other drinks too. Our room faced the backyard of the cottage, it is a very immaculate room, with very comfy bed, and a modern bathroom. Sustainable bath products are used, totally loved it. Tea and coffee maker is also available. A little touch of cookies and gingerbread on the side table gave another welcoming feeling. We decided to have dinner there and chose to have lamb rack. Sue had prepared the meals perfectly. It was well presented and it was so tasteful too. Not to mention the dessert, my oh my, it was so good! And the breakfast….oh my do I need to say more? It was another mouth-watering meal! It was such an experience to stay here, Tips: no need to eat out, stay in and have your meals here, you won’t regret it! We highly recommend this accomodation to everybody. It is beyond our expectations.

This was the most beautiful B&B I’ve ever stayed at. The attention to detail with the decor, the bedding, the dishes, EVERYTHING, made you feel like you had walked into a modern-day Austen novel. The host was extremely accommodating and lovely. The views from the windows and porches were simply stunning. I could not recommend this place more.

We arrived at Villa Walton midway through our 3 months of travelling around Australia and now New Zealand. We received a warm welcome from Neil and Sue, and of course Ted the dog! We were told to treat the Villa like our home , and that’s exactly what we did ! Our room was beautiful,as was the en-suite bathroom. We had a dip in the hot tub and then settled in the lounge for a few hours of reading and relaxation until dinner was ready. (It was raining so we couldn’t explore the beautiful garden). The food was exceptional , all freshly home made (a rack of lamb with potatoes ,carrots and broccoli). I asked Neil if he could recommend a wine to accompany our lamb and he recommended a wonderful Pinot Noir. Everything was perfect. We sat at their lovely large dining table , with other guests, and then Neil & Sue joined us and we had a fabulous evening. It was so lovely to feel “homely” again after so much travelling. Breakfast was superb and we just wish we had stayed an extra night! Thank you Neil & Sue

Fantastic. I wished all my BNB's were like this one while touring through New Zealand. Beautiful gardens and surrounding area. The breakfast was great, she just keep bringing more food. Service was impeccable.
