Guest Reviews

- Ruchi (10/5): I would definitely recommend this place for stay. - Everything
- Dongmei (10/5): -
- Clair (8/5): Lovely spacious accomodation - with a great view - Lovely outlook - immaculate presentation - very spacious - owner went out of the way to help us Breakfast which was included was a bit
disappointing considering it is a 5 star price
- Jonathan (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful location. A once in a lifetime view.
- Danyul (10/5): Absolutely brilliant - Beautiful lodge in the lake. Huge and spacious. Loved it Nothing
- Hengyi (10/5): We will be back~ See you~ All the blessings~ - The garden looks amazing.
We were living in the one bedroom lake-view lodge it is so comfortable and elegantly decorated, also full of necessary facilities for cooking,laundry,basically everything and more of what we need.
The owner Mr. Wang and Mrs. Helen treated as like families, we were deeply touched especially during Chinese New Year season.
Last but not least, the beautiful Lake Karapiro is within walking distance, and you can just look outside of your room windows or simply walk to the terrace of your own then the lake is just all in your eyes.
And the doggie here named HAPPY is everything to us, we have had the best time with him. He is the best.
- Schirrmeister Marchetti (10/5): -
- Lê Văn (10/5): -

Proprietari gentili e premurosi!
- Peter (10/5): Excellent - Le lodge était tout simplement exceptionnel, avec vue dégagée sur le lac.
Les équipements - cuisine entièrement équipée, lave-linge et sèche linge mis à disposition, grande terrasse aménagée (point bonus - sapin décoré à l’intérieur pour la période de Noël).
Très bon petit déjeuner fourni par l’établissement. Rien.
- Martins (10/5): -
- Yong (9/5): Very good view - The view is breath taking, very good. A little far away to restaurants, stores, etc.
- Viet (10/5): Perfection - Amazing location and amenities The property was perfect. We liked everything.
- Lily (10/5): -
- Song (9/5): -
- Kelcey (7/5): -
- Shicheng (10/5): All beyond expectation - Gorgeous view, , lovely people, tidy rooms, tasteful decoration
We enjoyed a perfect holiday in the lodge.
Will come again.
- Jenny (9/5): Beautiful location and very comfortable and quiet - Beautiful location stunning views We needed more kitchen items eg oven containers
Also needed more cleaning items
- Lcb (9/5): Beautiful views, don't plan to do anything. Just relax. - The view, comfort, relaxing. The road closures happening at the time of stay, and pre ordered meals were forgotten about or not ordered as per said in emails.
- Franklin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Barry (9/5): Superb -
- Merrylynn (10/5): Absolutely amazing, beds were comfy, the lodge came with beautiful views. Would recommend 100% - I was not present for the breakfast but everything was exceptional. The place, the lodge itself was wonderful. Beautiful scenery and the car park were big enough to fit many cars. The lodge itself was amazing to stay in, very spacious and big to hold an entire family. Would 100% recommend to anyone travelling towards Cambridge!
- Anne (9/5): Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others. - Helen was very friendly and helpful.
Everything was beautifully kept inside and outside the location.
Gardens and views beautiful Hard to fault really. If I'm being real picky continental breakfast was average
- Abhishek (10/5): MINDBLOWING AND FABULOUS! Would love to come back for a longer stay! - It is by far the MOST AMAZING property I have stayed . Right from the warm host, the stunning location, the cleanliness of the place…. Everything is outstanding !! Lovely garden, Linen , amenities, connectivity to the different attractions … it was just perfect for us! It’s ideal for families and even more fabulous for couples !! The host is fabulous and friendly, very prompt to respond to anything we needed. Her suggestions of good Italian places for dinner was spot on! There’s nothing to not like about the property! It’s almost perfect ! If I do have to pick something it would be the proximity to the main road ( however that’s also an advantage) and you can hear the traffic ONLY WHEN you stand outside . Inside the house it’s absolutely quiet.
- Jeslyn (10/5): A beautiful , vacation accommodation ! Peaceful and tranquility that you get every day! - The beautiful spectacular view from the apartment ! Nothing
- Bryce (4/5): Freezing and noisy. - Clean and large Cold one heat pump not working in main lounge
Only a heavy duvet on bed which was TOO hot and no blankets to substitute
Not feather pillows
Tiny shower
Motel type shampoo and body wash
This is not a $700 per night accomodation
Rate at $350
Situated close to SH1
Could not sleep because of duvet and traffic noise
Would never consider going back
This is the first time I have written anything negative about accomodation
The owners need to visit others who charge that tariff
Great gardens
- Karen (10/5): The most beautiful and breath taking views and 5 star accommodation! - Every detail was thoughtful and welcoming. The house is 5 star accommodation with every amenity catered for. The host greeted us, got to know us and then personally shopped for our Continental breakfast. The views are outstanding, we wanted to live there! Thank you so very much for our stay! We loved the home, nothing was out of place.
- Therese (10/5): I loved the house. I loved the stay. I loved the location. The view is just amazing! - The location was great! We enjoyed driving to get to places because we wanted to get the most of the scenic drives.
The place was so relaxing you really could stay there all day!
Perfect to wind down after a long day if you choose to have a long day out ! Everything was perfect!!! The only thing I would like to comment on is the shower.
- Abigail (9/5): Superb -
- Sama (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely Beautiful. Really convenient location near Hobbiton and stunning views. The house itself is spacious and clean. Staff were very accommodating and it was easy to add extra beds, really appreciated the flexibility and it made our stay a lot easier.
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - This house was amazing everything about it was spectacular! You walk in and your jaw drops it's feels warm and cozy ❤️, everything is flash, the bathroom has extra lil touches like perfumes in there lots of extra complementary toiletries, the water pressure is amazing and their were plenty of towels etc, the dinning room fit all my whānau really well, the longe has extra things in like games to keep all the kids occupied etc, when our breakfast goodies got delivered my jaw dropped again, organic home grown fruits and your able to access the vege garden for herbs etc so blown away by the amazing hospitality 😁❤️, will definitely stay if we go to Cambridge again 🙌🏽, Thank you for having us and being so kind and amazing, also the kitchen has more appliances than my actual house! Everything you need plus way more!!like a walk in wardrobe 😁🙌🏽 The views are also spectacular! Best whānau trip yet 🙌🏽
- Willem (10/5): We enjoyed a lovely time at this amazing lodge. Thanks! - The house is beautiful. Very well equipped and the views breathtaking.
- Criselda (10/5): The most amazing stay! - Our whole family had the best weekend stay here! Perfect interior, complete amenities and just the most beautiful view! We’ll definitely be back again! Nothing
- Michael (10/5): A beautiful property in a stunning location and wonderful setting, with spectacular views. - Alpacas in the paddock; superb deck with a gorgeous outlook, beautifully kept gardens and a warm, welcoming 'home' perfectly in tune with the lovely Cambridge countryside
Tastefully furnished, excellently equipped with lots of lovely touches
A perfect place to stay for 6 or more adults 3 bathrooms for 4 bedrooms! Perhaps converting the small double bedroom to a bathroom would resolve this, our one and only issue
- Daniele (10/5): Just come and stay - you will enjoy it ! - Thé excellent lake views, drew us to the verandahs each night to enjoy the sunsets, starry skies and a beverage or two - even my grandson joined us for the moments of enjoying nature with hot chocolate - The lodge is very well designed and catered to our large group four queen rooms one twin share three toilet/showers large dining lounge area and well catered kitchen and laundry. Would definitely come back. Helen and Steven are wonderful hosts and offered us foods for breakfast - very thoughtful. Various points of interest - the sculptures and night lighting in the gardens, alpacas and family dogs, the veggie garden which Helen offered some food from . Thank you Bring insect repellent
- Catherine (9/5): lovely property with exceptional views - Clean comfortable and an exceptional view. The grounds are immaculate, the owners work very hard to keep them pristine. Not enough bath towels and we didn’t realise we would have to cook our own breakfast. Although there was a lot of items left for us to make breakfast, there was only six eggs for two days. The lodge wasn’t serviced in the two days we were there, I read in their guide that they weren’t serviced at the weekends but we stayed Monday to Wednesday.
- Ainur (10/5): Amazing, stunning! - View, hospitality, kitchenware selection 😻, selection of coffee/tea and very thoughtful, mindful, personalized breakfast 😊
- Ruahini (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jie (8/5): Very good -
- Kurihara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tracey (7/5): we had a good stay and enjoyed the venue. A few hiccups, but an absolutely STUNNING view - Breakfast arrived the morning after we checked in and didn't arrive until 8:30am. Unfortunately we had an early start so ended up buying our own before it arrived. Communication with the hosts
- Claire (9/5): Superb -
- Pamela (9/5): Superb -
- Altaaf (9/5): amazing time with fantastic views - Great location on a beautiful setting, spacious property was lovely, possibly could do with a spa pool
- Doug (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely beautiful location. The house was clean, beds comfortable, host provided farm fresh eggs and fruit and other great breakfast selections. Wish we could have spent more time here on our trip.
- Surangika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (8/5): - everything is perfect except for the latest check out time is 10am. 3pm-10am is not enough for enjoy the stay. Another issue is there is no walk-in bathroom in the room. Always enter to the wrong room in the evening.
