Maungakawa Villa

Our first night in NZ was fabulous, setting the bar high indeed. Kaye's Victorian villa is as advertised, and more. Our room seems fully restored but is surely original as well. We looked east out onto a lovely brick patio with birdsong aplenty. Kaye's hospitality is even better - our light dinner and cook to order breakfast were both lovely. As were our little chats. Kaye is a relaxed, conscientious and attentive host.

Stunning house, back patio and grounds. Host, Kay, was so kind and welcoming. She gave us a lovely tour and had a great recommendation for dinner. Would love to come back.

Nothing!

This is a gem of a b&b. Kay is without a doubt the most wonderful host. Her house is beautiful, situated in a lovely part of the world. Her attention to detail is magnificent from the freshly baked slice in the room to the complimentary cheese platter, bottle of wine and other goodies. She gave us great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Don't get me started on breakfast - freshly home baked bread in a cozy kitchen with delightful conversation. If only every b&b could be at this standard! Loved, loved, loved it.

Absolutely fabulous stay. Great host, friendly and helpful. Beautiful room, hot tub and delicious breakfast. The house is like an art gallery with beautiful artwork as well as a lovely garden.

Nothing except we didn’t stay long enough !!

Beautiful house, exceptionally caring landlady. Discrete entrance to the room. Beautiful garden with sculptures scattered around. Absolutely tasty breakfast, with a wide selection of cheese and pastries. Just outside Cambridge, just 5 minutes drive from city center.

The heating system is not the best one. In winter time could be quite challenging to stay. High prices due to the NZ Fieldays.
