The first thing you need to know is that every review below, except that by James G G, is of a previous version of Cliff Edge by the Sea. Peter Meier has “reverted” the facility to a fully hosted three-room guest lodge, with common guest areas occupying a separate floor (we guess that the kitchen, where Peter cooks, is not... More

Three couples visited Bay of Islands for 3 days and wished it was longer. Every room in the place has a view to die for and the common area has a 180 degree view of the harbor. Peter cooked two dinners while we were in residence and both were terrific. Wines were complementary and the food plentiful. Peter provided every... More

My husband and I had a couple of nights here, staying in the one bedroom apartment. We had arrived from the Langham in Auckland and Peter expressed concern that the apartment was not up to our standard. In fact it is small but charming. There are lots of little details that welcomed us such as the absolute cleanliness, the flowers,... More

I'm living in Luxembourg and my son went to NZ that time (feb. 2009). I had absolutely to use this excuse to go and visit the land of the white cloud. I decided to start my stay with a nice treat and found Cliff Edge. A very nice location, on top of the hill, with a splendid view over Bay... More

Four of us stayed here, our first 3 nights in New Zealand so jet lag was an issue. The appartment is well equiped and the hosts very generous - the fridge was always very well supplied! The views are magnificent and this is a lovely place to stay. First night we ate at the Bay of Islands Lodge, also owner... More

We booked for a week having previously stayed at the Bay of Islands Lodge which is under the same ownership. The apartment has the most fantastic outlook over the Bay of Islands and the inlet leading to the ferry and local Marina. Lots of boats moving back and forth makes it interesting. Fabulous open plan living room and kitchen meant... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and although somewhat pricey for a family it was a beautiful location. The views were great and the breakfast was very filling. The hosts were very welcoming and tried to fix issues as they arose such as not having a clothes line which they say in their welcoming book they have. We went for... More

If you are not a sophisticated traveller, or expect to be waited on hand and foot, this is probably not the place for you. But this is a New Zealand B&B, not the Plaza Athenee. The place is immaculate, the rooms all have unforgettable views, and Peter Meier is a master chef and worldly person who at one time was... More

We spent one night there during our honeymoon after 2 nights in the other Host's accommodation "Bay of Islands Lodge" managed by David and Caroline. We arrived for the aperitif and lots of guest were having drinks already. We were almost not welcomed at all and Peter the Host just said "hello"... His wife show us the room and nothing... More
