"Great place to stay"
We loved to stay there. The super friendly and welcoming hosts made our stay very unique and special. Nice clean room, comfortable bed, a perfectly maintained house and a great breakfast in the morning. We couldn't ask for more. We would book again if we be around this area.

"Very hospitable hosts"
Very friendly and a very decent breakfast was served. Very well decorated and comfy. The room and ensuite were very tidy and clean. The host, Gillian, is very good to deal with — a very friendly and welcoming host.

"Amazing hosts"
I don't usually stay at B&Bs but had an amazing experience at Fossil Coast B&B. Great spacious room with private ensuite. We were served breakfast every morning. Good location, close to city centre. Owners Gillian and Sam were great hosts. Highly recommend them.

"Excellent accommodation"
I was after a place to stay at very short notice in Hawera and was able to stay at Fossil Coast. The price was very reasonable, the room and ensuite were very tidy and clean and the place in general was very well kept.
