Thank you, we had a wonderful time.
Lovely place incredible views and spectacular host
Gorgeous views and sunset each night with a cozy room and knock your socks of shower! Best one we’ve encountered in New Zealand. Jets all over to relax your tired and sore body after exploring all day. Collin and Jan were delightful and I highly recommend this place! We’d love to come back here
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.
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.
Lovely property with amazing views. Great hosts. Perfect breakfast. Close to lots of activities eg Waitomo, Tirau, Cambridge, Hobbiton but you need a vehicle.
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!
Nette Gastgeber und sehr große im englischen Stil eingerichtete Zimmer. Sehr schöner Ausblick über Lake Karapiro. Die Fenster zur Seeseite sollte man aber nachts schließen weil unten der Highway vorbei führt. Zur Gartenseite ist es dagegen sehr ruhig.
