Guest Reviews

• teresa (10/5): Simply lovely and so accommodating - An absolute joy to experience this delightful country mansion! Beautiful views and the ambience was lovely. The breakfast was sensational. It was perfect
• Emma (10/5): Respite! - We had a toddler and booked especially to see the ponies and alpaca. Very friendly animals that loved apples. Great selection of breakfast, and the hosts were so accomadating to our fussy son and our allergies. Not far from the city to head there for dinner, and far enough to enjoy rolling hills and fresh air. Fresh cold water from the well. Big toys cupboard for kids (and adults) of all ages. Just lovely! Thanks so much Colleen and her hisband for a well needed respite from the city.
• Ee (10/5): A family friendly stay, with a welcoming atmosphere. - Colleen and Clive were amazing, and their efforts made the stay a very personable one. They responded with care and attention to our requests, and ensured that my entire family was catered for. The animals were also very friendly, and a great treat for any young ones.

The vibe of the place was great, hosts were friendly, helpful and cooked a fabulous breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our night here Nothing, it was all fabulous
• Denis (10/5): - Maison magnifique superbement décorée. Très grands volumes. Chambre très spacieuse. Accueil chaleureux. Literie extrêmement confortable. Petit déjeuner copieux et excellent. Le plus : la vue tout autour de la maison et les poneys que nous avons nourri avec le propriétaire. Rien
• Patterson (8/5): Good stay - Beautiful home in countryside with ponies, cats, etc. Our room (RUA) was very large with large bath. Liked the separate toilet room. Lots of stairs getting in and then many stairs to the 2nd floor where our room was. Our room had an air-conditioner and private bath. Most do not. They did not want us running the air or fans unless we were in the room due to high electrical costs.
• Samuel (5/5): Not our favourite spot - The animals were great for the kids. The main host wasn't very pleasant. We didn't feel welcome.
• Nadine (9/5): - Heel mooie locatie. Italiaanse stijl; niet typisch voor Nieuw Zeeland. Het was er heel proper! Het zicht was adembenemend. Goed verzorgd ontbijt.
• Andrei (10/5): Lovely place - Great place: interesting architecture, good room, good breakfast, if you like animals you'll enjoy petting cats/horses outside, very clean (shoes off). Nice owners. No complaints at all
• Meng Ai (9/5): Beautiful home in the countryside with lovely views and comfortable family room - Beautiful property 10 minutes from central Hamilton. Lovely countryside views. The family room was lovely; much nicer than the pictures. 1 double, 1 single in the big room and 1 single in a small room without windows. The beds were comfortable, Airconditioner available if needed. Lovely, toilet and bathroom. Lovely views by day and at sunset in the common dining room and living room. Easy parking. They have several farm animals outside the house and a friendly cat wandering around. Breakfast was ample. The owners were warm and friendly. Would have been nice to have a fridge in the room. Otherwise, nothing else.
• Brian (7/5): -
• Deepa (9/5): Very nice. - Beautiful location. Friendly host family. Highly recommend this place.
• Aline (7/5): Solide Unterkunft, wer B&B mag ist hier richtig. - Sehr nette Gastgeber und die Lage ist auch schön. Das Bett, Kissen und Decke war sehr bequem. Katze ist supersüß. Zimmer hat keine Schlüssel, muss man mögen. Schöne Anlage, aber keine Möglichkeit im Schatten draußen zu sitzen. Dorf hat etwas den Charakter von Duloc ( Shrek1). Lautstärke durch viele Gäste auf den Fluren.

• Olivia (7/5): - The breakfast is good. The soundproofing is not very good.
• Isabelle (10/5): -
• Rosa (10/5): Amazing! - De locatie en gastvrijheid was fantastisch. De eigenaars zijn uiterst vriendelijk en er waren hele leuke dieren op het terrein. Helemaal niks! Ik zou hier zo nog een keer heen gaan maar dan zeker langer dan 1 nachtje. Dat is veel te kort!

At the resort the kids were able to do some exploring and even feed some animals, they loved that. Super comfy beds. Great for kids. Communication regarding the early check-in seemed have gotten lost. We were very early and I was very tired.

• Graham (10/5): - We did not stay here. However, the management alerted us to not having the room available within a very short period of time. We were able to rebook at another lodging facility. So, good ratings on the communication level.
• Felix (7/5): Good location for local activities and has amazing views and animals. - I liked the animals and surrounding views. Close to Hamilton and good location for doing the Waitomo caves and Hobbiton. 20 minute drive to Hamilton for dinner. Cooked breakfast was yummy. Free WiFi and access to Netflix on TV. Cooked breakfast was a small portion size. Shared bathroom facilities. Small room but fine for what we needed it for.

• JULIE (10/5): Séjour parfait à tous points de vue. Nous serions bien restés plus longtemps ! - L’accueil des hôtes est très chaleureux, on se sent comme à la maison. La chambre et les lits étaient très confortables, la salle de bain spacieux avec une baignoire. La cuisine et les espaces communs bien équipés et très agréables, jouissant de très belles vues sur la campagne alentour. L’emplacement au milieu de la campagne et entouré d’animaux que les enfants ont pris plaisir à nourrir. Petit déjeuner savoureux préparé par nos hôtes.
• Liju (8/5): Food was really good. Toys for kids were provided. Thanks - Location was really nice Scenery was amazing.Room wad used by another guy an we were asked to used same were his clothes were in the dressing closet like left there.
