Applecross Sanctuary

A beautifully serene place to stay. Very relaxing and a lovely environment to stay in. We will stay there again.

Wendy and Michael were the consummate hosts and were discreet, but available when needed. The room was clean with everything needed for my short stay, including a private ensuite. It was too cold for the pool, but I enjoyed a lovely quiet afternoon in the sun, sitting on the deck, listening to the cows in the nearby paddock. The property is an easy 7 minute drive from the middle of town, but why bother with town when there’s so many beautiful views to be had nearby. It’s conveniently located within less than an hour and a half of everything the region has to offer - Rotorua, Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Hobbiton, Bridal Veil Falls and much more.

Nothing

Nice quiet location out of the city. Room is attached to the main house with an adjourning door that can be locked if you wanted. Comfy bed, clean and tidy, separate lounge area with table, kitchen, TV etc. Very friendly hosts with excellent communication.

The location was excellent. Located in beautiful farm land with only a 5 minute drive to Cambridge shops. The outlook was beautiful with a swimming pool and spa surrounded by a deck to look at the view. Wendy and Mike, our hosts, were absolutely amazing, kind, friendly and extremely helpful.

Nice quiet location, great host, great facility.

The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Accommodation was tidy, clean and had everything we needed.

Spa

Thought it had a full kitchen.

Communication with the owners was great when we were held up & arrived very late. We didn’t have long to relax or see the gardens/pool area but it all looked amazing & would be a great place to base for several days.

All great.
