Peace

Bon Marie Bed & breakfast is in a rural setting just outside of Hillcrest, Hamilton. We are situated away from the main highway, just 4km from the airport and 8km from the city centre. You are assured a quiet and peaceful nights rest in our well appointed Bed and Breakfast units. Each unit has its own separate entrance, deck and large sumptuous ensuite. There is a fully equipped kitchen & plenty of space to spread out.

Tranquility

The self contained guest rooms are extremely quiet due to the double glazing and the half metre thick plastered strawbale construction of the house. The ceilings use all natural wool insulation which is double the normal thickness.
Guests frequently comment on how incredibly quiet the rooms are and how well they slept !

Sustainability

Our property is based around using minimum inputs and maximum organic recycling. All our food scraps go to the chickens. The majority of our paper waste is shredded and used for packaging in our import business as is the cardboard packaging.
Our human waste is handled by tiger worms in our eco friendly vermicasting septic tank system.
Grey water is used to water the gardens.
100 solar tubes provide water heating & heat the house via underfloor piping.
Passive solar design with 2m deep eaves.

Two Rooms Available

As of todays date of 20/05/12, both rooms are available!
