Great B&B

We had a room with an ensuite. It was large, clean and had a great view over the valley. Owner (and pet dogs) were very friendly. Continental breakfast was excellent.

It was a very different bed and breakfast experience. Did not ever meet or talk to the host. Instructions were wrote on a board as we came in. Room was big and clean. Nice views of the countryside. Continental breakfast at anytime. The hot tub was awesome. Only downside was we needed to carry our bags to the furthest room in the rain and right next to a highway so traffic noise all night

If I ever booked something like their “Honeymoon Suite” again, I’m sure my wife would divorce me. Where to start? Worn 80’s decor, threadbare but hard small bath towels, the shower mat was wet when we arrived, no place for suitcases but the floor, carpet worn through in places, a shared hot tub just off the little “private” patio, another unit’s patio 3 ft from the bathroom window, endless highway traffic noise - I kept checking that the window was indeed closed - still busy at 2:30 am, but down to a car every minute or so at 3:30 am, no one to greet you on arrival, loud voices through the lightweight door into the main house (which we weren’t to use), must drag suitcases across grass to get to the room, it was wet in the a.m. and my suitcase shed grass clippings into the car and every subsequent hotel room for days. Now we are swearing off any and all B&Bs in the future. Close to Waitomo, but not worth it 😡

Lovely place to stay.

Interesting b/b set up in a no hassle manner. Great views, very comfortable with full use of the facilities and grounds. Includes buffet breakfast. Shared bathroom but this wasn’t a big issue. Trevor was a most welcoming host. Recommended.

We arrived later in the evening and it was hard to find and difficult to see the instructions for check in. It felt like we were walking up to someone’s house. The fresh fruit at breakfast was wonderful but the rest of breakfast was underwhelming.

Comfortable bed with spacious room. Easy access and close to golf course. Very helpful host with recommendations regarding dining options. Great continental breakfast and easy parking. Only thing to mention that we had some issue with operating the tv and no tea bags in the room. However easy over looked with all the other comforts.

This bed-and-breakfast was a very relaxing, comfortable, and peaceful stay. We enjoyed the patio overlooking the orchards. We enjoy walking through the orchards and finding a right plum. The breakfast was very enjoyable and the host quite pleasant
