About Us

Waiuku Bed & Breakfast is a relaxing weekend away!

  De-stress and unwind at our Bed and Breakfast in Waiuku. Stay in comfort and enjoy our beautiful surroundings.

Relax in the sauna or spa, knowing you are just a 50min drive away from seeing the sights of Auckland.

We are located on Taurangaruru Road, Waiuku, with three spacious double rooms available for up to a maximum of six guests.

Our coffee/computer nook is perfect for guests to have some quite time with a coffee, while catching up with any business work that needs to be done.

We are a very active couple, who have always enjoyed meeting new people. After having lived in the Waiuku and Awhitu area for many years, we can provide a wealth of information on what to see and do.

Jim & Phyllis have also been members of the New Zealand Firefighter Sports Association for over 30 years, selling the New Zealand Firefighters Calendars to raise a substantial amount of money for their principle charity, the 'Child Cancer Foundation'  

Phyllis was a member of rxfitness235 in Waiuku and loved the challenge of Crossfit.

 Jim challenged himself and achieved his goal, to be the oldest active firefighter at 80 years to climb the sky tower in full fire fighting kit (25kg) to raise vital funds and awareness for Leukemia & Blood Cancer NZ.

Jim then retired after 57 years as a volunteer firefighter with the Waiuku Fire Brigade.   

Jim & Phyllis have been married for 59 years and they have had 3 children and now have 5 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Their interests over the past 50 years have been orienteering, hiking, kite fishing, kayaking,  Waiuku Christmas Display, Crossfit, Waiuku Fire Brigade, the Sky stair challenge and fund raising for Child Cancer and LBC.

For our next adventure, we have bought a Sea Horse Kontiki, for some great fishing at Karioitahi beach.

Jim and Phyllis are looking forward to the opportunity to welcome you to stay their slice of paradise at Waiuku Bed & Breakfast, 100 Taurangaruru Road Waiuku.

  • Wendy Auckland

    Had the pleasure of staying at Waiuku Bed & Breakfast in December 2021 whilst attending a Christmas event. Our group were over the moon at both the beauty of the surroundings, room layout and amenities on site. We made use of both the sauna and spa and breakfast was both plentiful and delicious. We would all recommend a stay at this accommodation, you would not be disappointed. Our host Phyllis was the consummate host. She was on hand with answers to our numerous questions and made us all feel very special. We would all recommend spending time at this very special place.

  • Marla, Santa Rosa, CA

    A bit of heaven in the New Zealand countryside - a perfect spot for some peace and quiet just a brief ride outside of Auckland. The house is modern, smart and tastefully furnished and the rooms have all of the modern modcons. Mornings start with birdsong and are accompanied by great breakfasts (why isn't New Zealand yogurt a style?). Phyllis and Jim are excellent and attentive hosts with deep knowledge of the local scene - ask to see Jim's collection of fire badges that he's accumulated from fire stations around the globe.

  • Diane & Dave, New Plymouth

    This is the 4th time staying with Phyl and Jim and I’m sure each time gets better and better. I haven’t slept so well or woken pain free for months and the divine bed and sheets are the most luxurious I’ve had. The accommodation and grounds are stunning, the spa and sauna are amazing, this place is serenity at its finest! But also not to forget the breakfast, this caters for everyone’s needs and is scrumptious. Thank you so much we love staying with you.

  • Jamie, Auckland

    Amazing hosts, so welcoming and ensured everything was taken care of. Look forward to heading back, thanks Jim and Phyllis a great stay

  • Lisa, Adrian and Brady, Kaitaia

    We stayed at this beautiful place while in Waiuku for a close family bereavement. We rang quite late the first night and it was not a problem at all to arrive in the dark, quite stressed and very tired. We stayed for 6 nights. Nothing was an issue. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable at a very sad time. The grounds are beautiful and calming. The spa and sauna were a blessing. The breakfasts are yum. The birds, cows, chickens and bunny rabbits were entertaining. We would not stay anywhere else in Waiuku. Can’t thank them enough. Arohanui Lisa, Adrian and Brady.

  • Pepita, Auckland,

    Jim & Phyllis were incredibly welcoming, helpful and even offered to drop us off at Castaway for a wedding celebration. It’s a great rural getaway, the airbnb area is attached to the house but private and spacious. The breakfast was awesome too.

    Definitely recommend!

  • Amie Jean Wright

    We stayed for my brothers wedding, and wow what a place! Set in tranquil countryside with roaming chickens and cows! The bedrooms were beautiful and the beds so comfy! The house inside is very well maintained, clean and tidy. The host Phyllis and Jim are wonderful people. They truly make you feel welcome and part of the family. They even brought out their children’s old toys for my 3 year old niece to play with. We were given advice and tips on local attractions and even invited to the local Crossfit gym that Phyllis is a member of, I wish I had brought my gym gear!

    Overall a great stay and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!

  • Mathew & Diane, Rothesay Bay

Our hosts were phenomenal, so welcoming, helpful and so much fun to talk to.... The rooms were way above spectacular! Seriously! The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in and huge, I couldn't find my husband all night!. The whole place was plush with incredible furnishing, linen and food/drink.

  • Neil & Rose Rotorua

    What a marvellous pace to stay. Jim and Phyll were the nicest hosts, and made us feel like we were members of their own family coming to stay. We were a family of 6, and every one of us loved our stay. The beds were super comfortable, the house was modern, stylish and clean, the grounds were beautiful and the hosts were attentive and interesting. Our family enjoyed stargazing out on the deck before turning in for the night. Thank you very very much for a lovely stay, topped by a scrumptious breakfast.

  • Anita, Wellington

    Amazing place, beautiful surroundings, lovely rooms and facilities, and delicious breakfast. The location is excellent, it is just a few minutes drive from the centre of Waiuku but feels like a whole world away. The most gracious hospitable hosts you could ever wish for.

  • Rhianon & Steve - Hamilton

    Fabulous, kind and friendly hosts. Would come back to stay in a heartbeat!

  • Joanne - Auckland

    Joanne

    Jim and Phyl are wonderful hosts with a lovely home. We enjoyed a spacious room in a separate but adjoined part of their house. Peaceful rural setting. Lots of local knowledge. Delicious breakfast. Comfy areas to rest and relax, watch tv, read, wander. Nice spa and sauna - bonus.

    Excellent experience at very stylish Bed & Breakfast. This has class not often seen in New Zealand. Think of it as Harrods quality with relaxed easy going charm at a reasonable tariff. You'll not be disappointed at this establishment.
