We thoroughly enjoyed our three days at Bronte. The property is beautiful and unusual and our hosts were particularly attentive. We were lucky enough to be there the day apple harvesting began and I couldn't eat enough of them. We also liked the pinot gris harvested from the property. Although secluded, Bronte made an excellent departure spot for day trips... more

My husband and I traveled to NZ for our 25th anniversary and we were happy to have been able to stay 3 nights at the Bronte Country Estate. We stayed in the Barkley suite and we loved the beachfront feel of the bungalow and enjoyed the fantastic views from our room and deck. Daniel was extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations... more

Bronte Country Estate is beautiful and relaxing. The peaceful setting and elegant accommodation coupled with Daniel's attention to detail and local knowledge made this a fablously relaxing start to our holiday. Go; whether at the start, middle or end of your holiday, just go! more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bronte. It's tucked away, almost like a garden hideaway. It was so peaceful and tranquil. And the breakfast was spectacular - everything was freshly made with local, in-season ingredients! Daniel and his family really take pride in their property and in New Zealand, and it shows. Daniel's mom's garden is charming, and she was... more

This was our second trip to the Bronte Estate and we experienced the same superior level of service from the staff and family that we did during our first visit. This time we stayed in their new unbelievable Te Koi Villa. The sharply detailed dwelling and it's outdoor decking were immaculate. It's easy access to the vast, well groomed grounds... more

My wife and I stayed here at the end of our honeymoon. I cannot think of a better place to stay before travelling back to our hectic lives. From the evening turn down (which included some small sweets and the next day's weather report) to the wonderful morning breakfast set amid the perfectly manicured gardens, it truly was perfect for... more

This was our second stay at Bronte - this time for our wedding night. We live locally and knew that for such a special night there was no other place we would rather be. Daniel, the host and manager, looked after us superbly and thought of everything - including a delicious breakfast of croissants, orange juice and bubbly all pre-prepared... more

This was our 4th visit to Bronte this January, staying two weeks again and our enjoyment of the place has not deminished, the place we look forward to most an our annual trip to New Zealand. The warm welcome and care taken of all guests,whether a one night stay or longer, is spot on. Daniel, the manager, takes great interest... more

On our month long family expedition to New Zealand, Bronte's luxuriously appointed new villa was the nicest place we stayed. With its magnificent views and stylish decor, we were immediately made to feel at home, with Daniel's freshly prepared breakfasts, and plenty of grounds for our kids (ages 9 and 6) to explore. With the magnificent scenery of the Abel... more
