Dog Friendly, hospitable owners
Kia ora, great find throughout from meeting place for our family from various parts of the North Island. As we needed to accommodate Bronson-dog. Rosemary and Anne Marie were very helpful, highly recommended. We did last minute shopping at Cambridge and wasn't let down! Feeding the chickens, vege garden, taking roses home, thank you so much. All the best.

Lazy weekend away with the girls
Just wow. Such a lovely experience . The accommodation was spotless, we did not need for anything. Kindling and wood was set up for the outside fire . Breakfast spreads were made from produce of the garden. The grounds are exquisite and the history of the area very interesting. We indulged ourselves on the Saturday evening with Roast trimmings and Dessert. A real kiwi family sit down evening with the ladies of the house. We ventured into Cambridge for lunch and a mooch around the local shops and 2nd handshops. Highly recommended area to visit.

Extremely pleasant stay
From booking to arriving - excellent communication all the way through. Our engagement with the host was exceptional, the standard of the rooms was very high. Very clean throughout. Linen, towels, kitchenware, all very clean and tidy. The place itself has a wonderful vegetable garden. We were a combination of 4 families with young children. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the accomodation and interaction with hosts. Loved it!
