Lovely restored historical building in a little old world village type area with a park and walkway .Quiet and interesting . Could be in a period piece . Very amenable hosts .
Nothing . My room was booked but I was upgraded to a queen . For some people , not having the toilet and shower could be inconvenient .

Pleasant kitchen. Nice breaskfast. Not large, but fine.
The only downside was the location in a slightly rundown part of town. I realise this is not something that can be fixed.

From the friendly warm welcome, the interesting history of the building, the large bedroom, great choice of pillows, comfortable bed, very clean bathroom rooms, the small personal touches, great hospitality to the delicious cooked breakfast. What is there not to like. You have to experience it.

Excellent stay at Lady Bowen B&B. I received a warm welcome from the host as I arrived, as well as a drink. The bed was very comfortable, with lots of blankets and pillows. There are common areas downstairs with a pool table, games, a TV, etc.

I really appreciated the welcome by Stu, who greeted me after a long drive in the dark. He offered to give me some history of the hotel before I settled in for the night. The next morning after a very quiet and comfortable night's sleep, a beautiful breakfast awaited me and Barbara helped me out by answering some travel questions. I definitely recommend this accommodation and I plan to use this hotel again.

The breakfast was delicious! Stuart and Barbara are very friendly and helpful. They gave me useful ideas to spend a good time in Thames! Would recommend to my friends.
I can’t think of anything. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful old property, with a very colourful history. The owner, Stu, was very welcoming and gave us a tour & rundown of the place. In the very large & beautiful lounge is a pool table, which we made use of. Breakfast was very good & made by Stu.

The best B&B you‘ll ever find.
Barbara and Stu are so nice, they tell you all about the history of the building and show you around the house, so you know where to find everything. They offer a welcome drink on the house and also prepare a very lovely breakfast.
The bathrooms are very clean and spacious.
In total the house has a modern but still very classy touch.
Enjoy the beautiful garden or the loving room to read a book or just relax.
The beds are very cozy, too.
For me the best experience on accommodation in NZ!

Breakfast - nice - always good when someone else cooks and cleans up!. Great hosts - we will stay there again when we visit Thames next.
I could smell cigarette smoke through window at night - I think a tenant was smoking in the garden,
