We had a really lovely stay at Bendamere Bed & Breakfast, unfortunately only for one night. Next time we’ll stay at least two nights, and we can’t think of a better place. Everything was just perfect and clean, and Julie was a great hostess! We highly recommend this place.

Julie was a wonderful host and Bendamere BnB was in an idyllic and central setting. We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer!


Julie’s homemade shortbread was a lovely welcoming touch to the stay.

It makes a massive difference on a big trip when a host makes you feel so at home that it's like going round to your mum's for breakfast - Julie was that host. Julie made us feel so welcome, it was the most relaxing and homely stay of our whole trip. Brilliant view from the garden and the laundry facilities very welcome btw.

We had a wonderful stay at Bendamere House - everything was spotless and well kept, the property was beautiful, the views onto the sea were gorgeous and Julie and Kerry were fantastic hosts. The homemade shortbread in our room was a lovely thoughtful detail and breakfast was a treat. I would highly recommend booking a stay here.

Really great to see how warmly welcoming the hosts at Bendamere House are and how much care they invest in the guest experience—from views of the bay, thoughtful breakfast, to the well-maintained gardens. Their attention to detail clearly shows up in the reviews. upwellscaffolding.co.nz

The room was clean and very comfortable.

Breakfast was lovely, and filled us for our day ahead.

We had an excellent stay at Bendamere House in March 2025. The room was clean and comfortable, with a fridge. A washing machine and dryer can be used for a nominal charge. There was a good breakfast.
