Loved it
The caretakers were lovely. The house was absolutely amazing. We felt right at home. Having access to laundry was really important to us and everything was there and easy to use. I highly recommend this home. The art and stained glass was a wonderful treat.

Simply amazing!
This place was simply amazing! Beautifully maintained, finely furnished, with modern bathrooms and kitchen. This was one of 8 stays on our trip through NZ and by far the most lavish. I wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy the home and the hospitality of the hosts.

Archer a House is a historic property, which has a lovely homely feel, combined with a state of the art contemporary kitchen. Facilities are second to none, great breakfast, and hosts extremely helpful for local knowledge, places to visit and onwards journey information. Fabulous gem of a property.

Fabulous house to stay in. Comfortable and beautiful. We were greeted with tea and cookies upon arrival, served by Jackie and Charles. They returned the next morning to make our delicious breakfast. In between we had the run of the house to enjoy with one other guest. Westport itself is not a reason to stop overnight,but the ArcherHouse makes it more than worthwhile.

Wonderful B&B
What an amazing house with wonderful hospitality, part museum part high tech kitchen, this house has something for everyone, large rooms with very comfy beds and a great shower with toiletries provided, we were the only guests on our evening so relaxed and enjoyed the house as our own. A wonderful breakfast was prepared for us with no pressure to rush off, this house would appeal to all ages and deserves the high praise it receives.

Archer House itself is simply beautiful - a stunning mix of traditional and contemporary with lovely gardens - and we feel very lucky to have stayed there. Charles and Jackie were excellent hosts who made us feel very welcome. Staying here has been one of the highlights of our trip to New Zealand. Our only regret is that we only booked one night!

Beautiful B&B historical home
We loved our stay here. The home and grounds are beautiful and meticulously maintained by the caretaker couple, who greeted us warmly, gave us lots of information about the area, restaurants, etc., and prepared a very nice breakfast for us the next day. We had the whole house to ourselves, with its gorgeous stained glass windows, 100-year old leather wall coverings, and lovely antique furniture. We got an excellent meal at the nearby restaurant (an easy walk) they recommended. They also recommended an outstanding New Zealand jade carver in Ross, who we visited and bought a very nice piece from the next day. The caretaker man is a professional quality photographer who had compiled a beautiful book about the area's places of interest.

Beautiful B&B in a quiet little beach town.
We had a nice hike by the ocean. Dinners at two local restaurants were very good. The town was recovering from a severe storm but everything we needed was up and operating just fine.

Room with a museum
Great facilities with an amazing collection of art, antique furniture, and collectibles. The new renovations to the kitchen are amazing and the garden will look fantastic in a season or two. Only issue is that the bed mattresses are of the same era as the furniture.

Hi Matt thank you for your comment, but not quite sure where you are coming from about the mattress being of the same era as the furniture. As they are of good quality by Back Masters Collection, Spinal Paedic. But every one is entitled to an opinion.

Stay here if you in Wesport!
Archer house was a most memorable stay. It is the oldest home in Westport, beautiful stained glass windows, embossed leather walls in the entry and lovely treasures from all over world decorate the home. Our hosts, Jackie and Charlie provided a wealth of information about the home and the area. Charlie is a photo journalist and had great insight into the attractions on all of the south island. Wished we'd talked to him prior to scheduling our trip as we would have done a few things differently. Truly a memorable stay. Better do it soon as they are talking about retirement.
