Easy drive from Auckland airport to property Beautiful location Warm and very comfortable Lovely bfast included
Breakfast yoghurt and bluberries was beautiful
Breakfast options were great. A lot to choose from. The location was perfect as it was across the road from our venue. Beautiful grounds and relaxing.
The bed was a little hard but nothing to worry about.
Spa bath great
Cambridge is a beautiful location and a nice drive from either Rotarua or Hobbiton. Hostess was lovely. Nice view from our room. Nice bathroom and the bed was comfortable and the apartment as a whole was quite modern. Nice restaurants/pubs in the area.
Breakfast was a little boring. Could have just grabbed the same stuff from Woolies myself.
The location to Lake Karapiro
Perfect spot as was attending a wedding right across the road
It was very tranquil, it was great to be able to sit in the jacuzzi the end of the day and watch the sunset! Our host was very nice and accommodating!
Can’t say there was anything I didn’t like.
The location is perfect and our reception was really pleasant, despite me having parked in the wrong area. The room was private and well stocked. Megan provided us with a great welcome and explained all that we needed to know. The breakfast was more than sufficient for our needs.
The bed was not as comfortable as i would have expected, making it difficult to sleep well.
Quiet park like surroundings
Unfortunately the spa wasn’t working, just done a 5km swim in lake Karapiro, a hot soak would have been nice
比較的設備が新しく庭も広く環境が良かったです。
予めチェックイン時間を伝えていて現地に到着するが応答が無く、メールで再度連絡すると30分後に「貴方の予約は翌日です」と回答が有りました。ホビット村観光の予約が有ったので早めにチェックインしてからホビット村へ行く為にわざわざ現地に行ったのでガソリン代と時間を無駄になりました。 その後、宿の方が間違えを認めたので宿泊は出来ましたがとても対応が悪く、又キッチン用品付きとなっていたので予約しましたが小さな鍋が1つだけでフライパンも無く朝食にベーコンエッグを食べる為に食材を購入していましたがフライパンがないので調理出来ませんでした。 最悪の宿だと思います。 東洋人を見下した感じの宿でした。
Convenience of location
Room a bit small
Hosts were amazing. Rooms were perfect and fire pit made the night
This is our home away from home, and we always love staying here due to the perfect location for our event, which is literally across the road.
Cannot fault anything here. Love love love
A beautiful property in a gorgeous location - perfect for our day trips out to Hobbiton, Hamilton and Waitomo caves etc. loved everything about the property - the little touches always make a big difference too!
The breakfast was perfect for our requirements. When eating out at cafe's, etc it is very hard to get a light continental type breakfast so suited us perfectly and there was plenty of variety and the quantity was generous too.
The check-in was seamless and the instructions were brilliant I really appreciated the radiator being put on in advance of my arrival The bathroom was lovely and the shower was phenomenal Breakfast was delicious!
The room could really benefit from a bedside lamp or two
Great facility, bed was very comfortable, spa provided with spa towels. Yummy breakfast available with lots of food and drink options. No AC but ceiling fan was nice. Hairdryer and bathroom essentials were provided. Awesome view out of the window in the morning, beautiful garden. Host was very accommodating for us to get ready early as we were heading off to a wedding.
The only thing missing was shampoo, however as long as people know this is not provided, it is easy enough to bring - I will know for next time!
We loved the the ambience of our cottage. Set in a beautiful location
Nothing
The location of this property is superb for rowing. You walk out the gate at you are at the lake. Very convenient for a rowing regatta.
Beautiful garden with the sweet smell of honeysuckle’s.
The fish pond and the beautiful well maintained garden were a plus. When we arrived after a 22h flight + car journey.... we cd not have a hot shower because something went wrong with their pump and it cdnt be fixed before we left. So overall..... for us.... it was a big disappointment. But such things happen and hopefully the host got to replace the pump etc. The breakfast provided was nice.... but confusing for a first time in NZ. It was unclear what wd be charged and what was free. The bathroom decor was pretty.
Not the host's fault..... but if you plug in the address on Google maps..... it took us somewhere else .... atleast 20 min away. (But the ride around the hill was beatiful). So call and check with the host once you come through the bridge. I wish there was a more powerful exhaust in the bathroom.
The room looked out on a beautiful property with gorgeous gardens, a koi fish filled pond, fire pit area and hot tub. Very private and relaxing. The little dog greeter Lola was adorable. The breakfast was a great variety of items. Megan was very nice.
Convenient location to the lake for event. Lovely host. Very good setup with kitchenette. Lovely shower. Great garden.
Absolutely gorgeous setting on the Mighty Waikato River next to Lake Karapiro, this lovely young family has created a serene garden with a koi pond, a fire pit and a hot tub amidst old growth trees and, it just being springtime, had a bursting cherry tree in full bloom that was full of Tui in the morning. The peace, serenity and proximity to my work group hui (5 minute walk across the road) couldn't have been better!
Really nothing! I just wish there had been more time to enjoy what was there, but I was working. 😊 I can picture having someone with me and sharing a fire and a soak in the evening out there, talking with the hosts over a wine.
Clean, fantastic location, very hospitable, great facilities, family home but private.
Nothing, it was a great stay
I booked this for a colleague and his wife so can't comment in detail but they were very happy with the room and the location and had only good things to say about it. A great, comfortable stay, conveniently located directly across the road from Mighty River Domain. Peaceful and quiet. l A great stay.
We were a family of three and occupied the 2 rooms available. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the accommodation comfortable. Bathrooms and furnishings were looking rather tired but all functional. Rooms were serviced each day. Our rooms were to one side of the home, relatively private and overlooked a fish pond and garden. Breakfast provisions were enjoyable and delivered each day for your own preparation including a fruit and yoghurt compote. Hosts were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the occasional company of the family pet, Lola the dog.
The linen and towells were not your usual crisp white but appeared clean. We considered it expensive.
We chose this location vs "town" as we wanted something close to Hobbiton and a bonus of Riverside kayaking to see glow worms. What a find! Just beautiful and well appointed!
As Always very private Comfortable & Lovey Hosts Clean & easy to relax in
All good
Very relaxing, super host, great location, excellent breakfast

Loved everything about the property. Megan was amazing and Lola (beautiful fur baby) made us feel like we were at home. The place itself is a 10/10. Also the property is in walking distance to Lake Karapiro. Very convenient for us especially during Waka Ama Nationals.
Beautiful and delicious breakfast, we had a variety - muesli cereal, toast, yoghurt and juice. TV channels helped my daughter relax after her Waka Ama nationals.
Everything was amazing - from the welcoming to our departure. It did get a bit hot during the night and had the ceiling fan going but couldn't figure out how to increase the speed. That was the only thing - other than that, everything was amazing!
Very comfortable room, beautiful garden, good breakfast, very friendly host
Nothing
Very friendly welcome with lots of information about the area. The gardens outside the room were a wonderful place to sit and relax in the sun
Fantastic place to stay, tucked away in a beautiful setting where you are made to feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. We could have happily stayed for longer.
Everything was superb!
The Queen bed could have been more comfortable.
Good quality accomodation next to Karapiro for water sports

Best breakfast to start the day. Very homely feel and nice and quiet. Block out blinds are excellent for a sleep in. Will be back if in Cambridge again.
Beautiful grounds and very comfortable
Nothing 😊
It was lovely to sit outside in the morning and enjoy the breakfast.
Location. Fantastic garden.
First came here in 2018 and only stayed one night, this time stayed two as we loved it here so much. Quiet location, beautiful garden and surroundings plus a hot tub. Accommodation well suited to a few nights stay and Megan's breakfast supplies are excellent. Well placed to visit Hobbiton, about forty minutes drive away. Megan is an excellent host and has an outgoing, friendly personality. .
Nothing to dislike about this property, but at the time of posting this, November 2024, the road across Karapiro Dam is closed so you need to go through Leamington rather than having to backtrack. Our car satnav took us to the closed road, Google Maps is more up to date.
Very secluded, lovely grounds and area
Nothing
The beautiful landscaped garden and hot tub are fantastic and very much worth coming here. The room was extremely large, beautiful and comfortable.
The only let-down was the instant coffee for breakfast - everything else is so high end that the place really would deserve a Nespresso machine!😉 At least it was a high-end version of instant coffee, the double shot macchiato was particularly good (not too sweet).
Great location, great facilities and friendly hosts. Would recommend.
The property is beautiful. The units are private and everything needed for a comfortable stay is provided. The owners live on site and maintain the perfect balance of friendliness and helpfulness, all the while respecting their guests’ privacy. There is a lovely outdoor area with spa, bbq and a fire pit. Generous breakfast provisions are included, with home made treats.
There is nothing that I didn’t like.
The property was beautiful and well-kept, great location and had all the amenities and features for an enjoyable stay. Apart from the stunning views, we especially enjoyed the hot tub and the continental breakfast.
Nothing! It was the perfect property for us to stay in while in Karapiro.
Great location. Cosy room and inviting garden, fire pit and spa.
An espresso machine would be a nice addition.
Conach House was in a very convenient location for us. Megan and Shane were friendly and helpful hosts. The studio accommodation was clean and serviced each day. Check in and check out were convenient and easy.
We stayed in winter admittedly, but the bathroom tiled floor was freezing and no heating in the bathroom. We took the heater from the main room into the bathroom instead, which worked. More varieties of tea and some plunger coffee would have been nice.
Location was really convenient for us, lovely quiet and private setting and lovely host, spacious and comfortable room.
Showing the odd sign of wear and tear, & bathroom rather cold, lights over hand basin not working. Minor grumbles only.
After a day of riding, wonderful place to stay. We particularly enjoyed the spa in the garden.
Need a vehicle - no good if bikepacking as quite a long way to town for dinner (5km+?)
Love everything, it was such a lovely romantic place to stay. everything was amazing. the outside was so beautiful with the water feature and the spa.
everything was great no complaints here
Setting, friendly owners, spa area, lovely breakfast
Maybe a bit stonger lghting in bathroom to do makeup?
Location. Cleanliness. Breakfast.
Well appointed clean room, access to a good hot tub only shared with one other room, nice a quiet, friendly host, access to washing machines and great locations for the lake.
Room was a touch small, but for two people it's fine.
Super neat place to stay,
Pretty grounds with pleasant surrounds and friendly host
Lighting inadequate, bed a little hard
Excellent
Quiet and comfortable. The firepit was perfect on a chilly fall evening.
Breakfast was minimal, but the muffins were very good.
Breakfast was delicious and nutritious. Spa pool and water features were highly elite. Great country surroundings - would stay for longer next time. Mini-bar was a fun treat.
No much at all to complain about really. To be nitpicky the mini-bar could have had a few more beer options but this is really minor! Also a light by the gate entrance could've helped. All very minor.
Lovely apartment well kitted out with excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed and great night's sleep due to quiet location. Easy access to Hobbiton.
Nothing
Location across from the Waikato River in a lovely location just out of the main township of Cambridge
Nothing to report
Excellent location, next to Lake Karapiro. Wonderful ground, beautiful accomodation and very friendly hosts.
Never stayed at a B&B so this was the first time,loved everything about it especially the breakfast.
Wonderful hosts, and the location and grounds were beautiful. 10/10 for the continental breakfast, and comfort of the room and amenities.
My only tiny issue was with the mattress on the bed being slightly uncomfortable for me (being 6'5" tall), and I emphasise slightly.
breakfast was amazing and deicious and plentiful. Loacation was perfect to watch the rowing
could have had softer pillows or a range of pillow sizes to pick what suits.
Location to rowing regatta was very convenient. Lovely shower.
Superb location and accommodation. Very tranquil setting. Can't fault it or the hosts.
Lovely hosts. Room had everything I needed. Pretty location snd great for watching the rowing regatta.
Comfy accomodation, beautiful gardens & lovely breakfast. Thank you
Location and setting superb. Meagan and Shane are wonderful hosts who went out of their way to make us feel at home and advised us on attractions and restaurants.
The location suited us being across the road from Lake Karapiro, breakfast, bed and pillows were super comfy. Had use of the bbq and hot tub. Loved the dog, rabbits, fish pond. Hosts friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking
Air conditioning would have been a bonus as it was super hot the week we were there, otherwise nothing to dislike
We were two people staying in one of the bedrooms. We absolutely loved our stay. The room was perfect for us and had everything we needed with the kitchenette and bathroom. We used the BBQ and the spa and enjoyed both. Lola was the little dog and stole our hearts. The breakfast was great. The location was close enough to different locations but far enough for us to feel like we were on holiday. Would definitely stay again.
