Such a lovely B&B. The pictures don’t do this place justice. It is so nice and quiet with a beautiful garden and view over the hills. The room and bathroom were pretty and clean and homely and the provided breakfast was simple but still great. I will definitely be coming back!

If you like B&Bs, this is a nice one. It was super clean. The owner was friendly. A continental breakfast was included. The location was super convenient as it was only about fifteen minutes from the Waitomo Caves - which are best seen early in the morning before the crowds get there.

We understand the perspectives of some of the review. We wish Expedia had a real 1-10 rating as we would have rated the room 7/10. Instead, it is a rating of 1-5 and then doubled, perhaps not a true representation. Pros: Property was pretty. The cat was also a plus. Room was fine and clean. Not having someone to communicate with upon arrival did not bother us. My husband spoke with the owner and he was really nice and personable. Cons: The Honeymoon Suite is connected to the main house by a door. Unfortunately, you can hear every conversation, door close, dog bark, fridge opening, etc. We really did not feel as though we had our own room, we felt more like we were intruding in the owners personal space. There was not even a hallway separating, just a door. We whispered the entire time to not disturb anyone. Additionally, we smelled urine in the room and noticed a waterproof mattress pad. Understandably, if someone had an accident in the bed, it makes sense to want to protect it. However, the smell continued, and waterproof mattress pads are very hot to sleep on. Reviewers complained about the lack of food at breakfast, but it didn't bother us. There is bread/toast and cereal. The cereal was stale, though. Maybe that should be replaced a little more often. There was cream cheese, but nothing to accompany - maybe some bagels? Interested parties should just do their research to ensure they know what they are booking. Room 6 looked secluded & private.
