Our Story

Dunluce was built in 2005 by a couple with strong Irish roots. They named it after Dunluce Castle on the coastal cliffs of North Ireland, a medieval castle with a rich history that was occupied by their ancestors in the early 16^th century.

In 2018, Hannah Gray moved back to Fiordland after two years in Canada. She had always wanted to own a bed and breakfast so when the opportunity to acquire Dunluce presented itself, it was an easy decision to snap it up. Hannah has put her background in hospitality and creative arts to good use, adding her own special touches to the property that evoke its warm and welcoming feel.

If you want to stay in a boutique B & B give this one a try. The whole place is immaculate throughout. Rooms are very exquisite and have the most amazing view of the mountains and water. Hannah is a lovely host and makes lovely cakes and an excellent breakfast.

Superb B&B in an excellent location. We stayed 2 nights in Hannah's beautiful home in Feb 2020. It really was the best accommodation we had during our 5 week visit of NZ, which included 5 * hotels. Hannah was a most hospitable host and catered for our every need. She had thought of...

Stayed for 5 nights package. Very happy with the entire experience, Hannah couldn't have been more accommodating and the room was spacious and comfortable. The little extra touches set Dunluce apart from the norm & made the whole experience very enjoyable.

This small B&B was the perfect place to stay: warm host, private rooms, gorgeous modern home, postcard view, delicious snacks and the best breakfast spread. The host was so kind and generous; we just came off a big hike and she went above and beyond to help us wash our gear. This is by far...

Very comfortable and friendly. We stayed here just after Christmas and enjoyed the beautiful quiet location. It is just enough away from the main drag to offer a very comfortable stay and yet not too far away, so its easy to zip in for a meal. The people are friendly, the bed luxurious, and the...
