Home Away From Home
A lovely place in a gorgeous setting and so quiet and peaceful. We needed a few days away from the rat race of Auckland and this was perfect. Cambridge has a lot to offer for food and to stroll through the shops. Locals made a point of saying hello as we walked through the township, not something you get in Auckland. Staying at Karapiro just made the trip perfect. We did a day trip to Papamoa and then back to Karapiro for our last night before heading back to Auckland. Sue was a great host and had everything set for our arrival, we also got to meet April. Highly recommended!

Perfect
Was in the area for a rowing regatta and the location was brilliant. Cottage had everything we needed and was well set up (although, given it poured with rain, a dryer would have been handy for all the rowing gear each night!). Appreciated that it had basic things like spreads and oil, and beautiful home made jams. Would definitely stay again.

Wedding day preparation.
Absolutely loved staying in this gorgeous cottage. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and beautiful spot for this country girl and her wedding party to get ready in for my big day. So much space, so much beauty and character and so lovely and clean. Loved it!! Want to go back just to hang there and enjoy that space alol over again.

The cottage is fabulous! Nice and private with a lovely rural view over the hills. Beds are super comfy and everything is spotlessly clean. Sue is a lovely host and makes the best plum jam and relish. Don’t hesitate to book. Just not on the days we want to go again!

Idyllic, charming, and so comfortable!
Everything about this Bach was perfect. It is gorgeous, well furnished with everything you need including homemade jam & chutney! Our two young (5, 2) kids got a real kick out of the young cows being in a pasture next door. They also loved the books and toys on hand. This place was so well kept, clean, and comfortable. If we come back to New Zealand we will definitely try to stay here again. April the spaniel was a sweetheart. Sue and Dave were excellent hosts. Thank you!

Amazing country style get away
Such an amazing quiet little big place. The whole group enjoyed the little cottage. There was enough room to not feel on top of everyone but still felt cozy and home like. Excellent facilities and communication was amazing. Would absolutely come back and stay here. Amazing outside area and amazing views of the land.
