What's nearby

  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

Lovely private room off it's own entrance way. Plenty of room for parking. The room was already heated for my arrival on a very cold and wet evening!

Warm welcome and lots of extra touches

From the warm welcome, we enjoyed our stay in a rural location but still within 5 km of the town, shops and restaurants. A "continental" breakfast was an added pleasure the following morning before check out.

Very welcoming hosts, beautiful cozy room with its own private deck area which was lovely to sit and have a morning cuppa. Views were wonderful also. Stayed only one night so didn't get to use spa pool and Sauna 🙁 but will definitely return in summer for few days as a treat. Thanks so much for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely night in Cambridge in a lovely setting in what was previously stables. We were only staying one night and were delighted with the room we had. It was beautifully decorated with lots of lovely toiletries. We were left food for breakfast which was ample to start our day (yogurts, cereals, biscuits and peaches). We had use of the swimming pool and spa. We had the ‘basic’ room so would have loved to see the other rooms/apartments. Highly recommended.
