Mostly very good

Lovely garden and property, friendly owners. Handy to Maungatatari. Downside was no space to eat inside the units or for sitting. Shared kitchen is fine except that it is cold in the evening so not conducive to having a meal in this space. Also limited space for luggage but fine for short stay.

A Place of Beauty and Bounty

We had a wonderful time, enjoying the beauty of the surroundings and the bounty from the vegetable garden. Mary, Rosemary and Steve were all very helpful and informative. The outside but under cover cooking/dining area worked really well for the two couples in our group.

Cottage oasis

What a wonderful escape. The hosts could not have been more welcoming. The outdoor kitchen was perfect even when it was raining. Felt like a home away from home, and was very conveniently located to Lake Kirapiro where we had a festival, and close to Cambridge and Hamilton. If you need a relaxing vacation from your vacation this is the place!

Cute cottage hideaway

The cottage has a beautiful setting and cute features. For a family of 3 it is just enough (double bed a bit tight for 2 adults) space for sleeping (#2). You can spread out in the shared kitchen in the evenings. Thank you to the 2 Mary's.

A great homestay

Perfect location near cycle trails, We even biked to Hamilton Gardens! Maungatautari Sanctuary was close by . Mary and her Mum Rosemary ,were just such amazingly friendly hosts, we felt very welcome .The Cottage was just lovely, very comfortable and super shower. The garden is beautiful and view over the country side.The rural sounds and vistas are superb, a Ruru close by, was heard on several nights. Rosemary provided lovely breakfast with produce from her garden. Mary was great to chat with about the farm , her enthusiasm for her volunteer work on Maungatautari Mountain with trapping and the Kiwi breeding programme had us super interested.We were so pleased she shared this with us and we loved our walk on the Rimu track. Thank you both for a wonderful stay. You roadside plantings of cherry trees is amazing and a legacy for years to come.
