Spacious and comfortable rural retreat
In a most pleasant and soothing rural location, the room was spacious and had everything we needed and a bit else beside. The cooked breakfast included in the package was generous and very nicely set the day off for the continuation of our journey

Comfortable stay
Overnight stay to see Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton. Hotel located just outside local town. Hotel in picturesque setting used for weddings. Very peaceful, big rooms, kind host and home cooked breakfast. There were sheep in the field which we could see from our room which our son enjoyed.

We had the room w/ en suite. The room was large clean and not only was the bed comfortable but also was the sofa that turned into a bed. The ambiance of the entire B&B is wonderful. The plus was not only the many areas to sit, relax, and contemplate but our host, John was very helpful. For breakfast, we had a choice of a hot or cold, or both and it was excellent.

Great B&B, friendly and informative hosts
Jenny and John were most welcoming and made us feel at home. The breakfasts were excellent especially Jenny's homemade savoury muffins. We had an itinerary planned and Jenny kindly pointed us in the direction of some other sites not in guide book and that made our trip. Excellent.

Sad and disappointing, however expensive
We arrived and knew where I was, and if there were other options, I would not have put my bags down, my daughter said " Yuk, I don't want to stay here" The room which was the better one with an on suite, it as the others are, was tired, daggy without any atmosphere, just ugly hand me down pieces, There was tea and coffee in a cupboard I had to ask where to plug it in, as the host was showing me he pushed the tray down on a pair of $400 sunglasses! they survived! As for dinner options, The pub in the next town was shut for the evening, he said just go to the next town. In the dark, in a hire car with a 12 year old, I started to drive on a dark road to find somewhere to eat, by 15 minutes, my daughter crying,I went back to the B & B, by this time we had been away 30 plus minutes looking on dark roads for dinner. We then got proper directions to another town. We could wait to leave, breakfast the next morning was again disappointing, cereal boxes lined up, some fruit nothing fresh, only sugar favoured yogurt, we were offered dry english muffin, that may have sat on the plate for 10 minutes out came the cooked breakfast which had been sitting in the oven, dried up bacon, a sausage, half a tomato between two people and overcooked eggs. The coffee was good, however just plunger.
