Gorgeous view over the lake. Located about 15-20 minutes from Cambridge and 20 minutes from Hobbiton, this was a nice small B&B for our visit. The owner is very friendly and the breakfast was very good.
Wonderful to stay with our hosts. Wonderful property, fabulous views, great conversation and fun with Goldie the beautiful and friendly dog. Fantastic breakfast as well.
Fabulous hospitality! Love Collin and Jane. Room is gorgeous and huge. Incredible view. One of best lodges we’ve ever stayed in, and we have traveled all over the world!
Lovely property with amazing views. Great hosts. Perfect breakfast. Close to lots of activities eg Waitomo, Tirau, Cambridge, Hobbiton but you need a vehicle.
Very pleasant stay with friendly hosts. Perhaps it would have been nice to have a cool room on arrival on the hottest day this year, the room had not had the air conditioner turned on, so it did take a while to cool. Blankets were provided to replace the very fluffy duvet which is too heavy for summer, perhaps a lighter summer weight duvet would be better?
Over all a very comfortable stay and highly recommended.
