Quiet sanctuary
Lovely quiet property. The entrance is shared which is not apparent in the listing but the host is very professional and does not use this entrance whilst you stay. So it is very private and exceptionally clean and comfortable.

Short but comfortable stay
Judy was a wonderful host. She was very quick to respond to inquiries. The house was warm and inviting when we arrived. She even had several delicious breakfast items for us. Unfortunately we only had time to stay for one night. We would definitely stay again if we return to the area.

Best place to stay for events at Karapiro / Cambridge
We loved staying in such a beautiful setting, just across the road from Mighty River Domain. So handy for the Long Course Weekend events. Easy drive into Cambridge too. Beds were very comfy, everything was meticulously clean and the breakfast provisions and yummy treats were greatly appreciated.

Home base for Waitomo and Hobbiton
Super clean and quiet guest suite very close to Cambridge, easy access to Waitomo glowworm cave, the Shire, and more. Judy was extremely friendly and helpful, she even called in to the restaurant we had selected to ensure we had a table. Accommodation was comfortable and well-appointed, everything you'd need in the kitchenette--including continental breakfast fixings. Wish we'd been able to stay longer and enjoy the private porch and beautifully manicured yard, would definitely stay here again!
