Labyrinth Gardens Guest House

Breakfast was not included, but we had access to the whole house, and the kitchen was very well supplied, and spotless.

The oven door is very squeaky, and needs some attention. It was slightly unusual that there was no guest information booklet, with local attractions, restaurants, pubs, menus etc, but that is most likely old-fashioned in the age of free wifi etc.

The home is big and inviting with private access to the labyrinth rocks. The homeowner has done up the home most tastefully. The highlight is the hot tub!

Had the whole house to use. Huge tv and great functional kitchen. Was wonderful to use the huge spa in the rain, beautiful! Would have loved to stay again!

Love the set and where it was

One of the best places we've had in NZ. We wish we had more time to stay. If you get the chance to be here, don't miss.

I honestly had the most amazing stay here, even though it was just for one night! I arrived in the evening and was warmly welcomed by Steve, who gave me a little tour through the house and explained everything. It made me feel comfortable and taken care of right away. The house itself was just incredible. I had my own cozy space and could also enjoy the beautiful living room. One of the absolute highlights for me was the hot tub — sitting there under the stars was simply magical. The garden was stunning as well, so peaceful and full of beautiful details. Inside, everything was perfect. The kitchen was super well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and the bed was so comfortable — I slept amazingly well. It was also great to have washing machines and dryers available, and I really appreciated being able to use them during my stay. You can really feel how much love and thought went into every single detail of the house. When I left in the morning, Ken saw me and kindly asked if everything had been good for me, which I thought was really thoughtful. Both hosts were so friendly and welcoming, even though I was only there for a short stay. And honestly, for the price, it’s just unbelievable how amazing everything was. I’m so grateful I found this place — it truly felt like a little home away from home, even just for one night. I would 100% come back anytime and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, peaceful, and unforgettable stay!

Really pretty place, kitchen equipment was outstanding, super nice people

My friend and I stayed 1 night and we absolutely loved it, we didn’t want to leave! All the facilities are well maintained and are even more than what we expected. Ken was so lovely when we arrived and told us all about the area and the gardens surrounding the house. I couldn’t recommend the Labyrinth Gardens guesthouse more!

Beautiful garden, kitchen very tidy and well equipped,very nice hosts,

Staying here feels like being at your lovely friends parents’ house—in the best way. It’s warm, welcoming, and everything is taken care of, so you can truly relax.

The host greeted us and made us feel at home right away. The amenities were excellent, and the laundry machine was just what we needed mid-way through our trip to New Zealand. The gardens were beautiful, and the room was spacious and comfortable. I would come back and stay here again in a heartbeat if I am ever in the area.

The room gets a little hot during the summer.

Quiet, very comfortable, very welcoming and everything needed for a self catering stay. Lovely surroundings and very well situated for local and further away visits to the coast and the mountains. Overall, a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Great location as close to Takaka and to beaches. Also very quiet.

Very welcoming, bed was super comfortable, everywhere was spotlessly clean and the garden and surrounds are beautiful.

Wonderful hosts, amazing garden

We absolutely loved staying at Labyrinth Gardens. The house sits amoung a beatifully maintained garden and the limestone Labyrinth Rocks. The inside of the house is very cosy with facilities such as coffee machine and netflix available to all guests. We had a great time relaxing in the spa pool in the evening. Considering the price, I would always recommend this location and will be coming back should I return to Takaka. Could not recommend this place enough. Steve and Ken have created a wonderful place to stay.

.

The guest house was in the most beautiful setting, with wonderful gardens full of plants and birds that meant we could experience the beauty of New Zealand's landscape even from our bedroom. When the weather was bad we were able to use the communal lounge and kitchen to relax which felt like a home away from home. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and we enjoyed the en suite bathroom in our room. The hosts were helpful and welcoming. The location was set back from Takaka centre, meaning it was peaceful and private, but only a short drive from amenities, and well located for all the things we did around the area. Special mention to the private entrance to the Labyrinth Rocks Park which we did on a rainy day- the hosts had printed out and laminated a map which was really helpful and it was a great quick activity!

Nothing!

Fantastic, exceeded our expectations. Couldn't fault anything. Hot tub was superb. Beautiful gardens and setting. Would stay again and recommend to all.

Nothing - it was all great.

Absolutely everything - the house is lovely, has everything you need and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a quick stay (just one night) after walking the Heaphy track. Ken and Steve are lovely hosts. Ken gave us a very warm welcome and a tour of the property. The spa pool was set in beautiful gardens and was just the thing after 4 days walking. The property is immaculate and super clean and the facilities are excellent. There is a shared kitchen, common room and bathroom but the property is large and this was not a problem. Ken was extremely accommodating when we were dealing with a cancelled flight of a friend. He happily accommodated her too and came over in the evening to make up an extra bed. He also found forgotten item and has arranged it to be returned. We appreciate his help and that nothing was a problem. Highly recommend the property and I look forward to staying again.

The peace and quiet and in great area

Was great

I can't believe one motel can be so neatly managed and wonderfully organised. I bet the owner must love the house so much that he put tremendous effort to keep it clean, organised or even sophisticated. It is a big garden we are living in. Not far from the town centre, easy to find, and wonderful to stay in. The stars are also great if you want to stay late and watch the sky. Will definitely stay again next time.

Everything! I mean EVERYTHING! The place the gears and the people

What an absolutely amazing place! Our room was so quiet and comfy and the shared toilet and shower was clean and spacious. The kitchen was so well stocked (spices, utensils, pans, etc). This guest house is better than the pictures! The views in and around the house are absolutely breathtaking. I enjoyed having my coffee out on the front deck with an amazing view of the mountains. The owner was eager to help make us comfortable and offer suggestions on what to do in the area :) thank you!!

Large room. Comfy. Private access to Labyrinth Gardens.

Very thin walls. Could hear guests in adjoining rooms easily.

Was very satisfied with our stay. Lovely friendly people. Felt very comfy! The gardens and view were amazing. would happily stay again.

Guest House is super comfortable at great quiet location. Using hot spa at the end of the day was just what we needed to relax after busy day. Steve & Ken are amazing hosts. Would highly recommend!

Nothing

Ken was lovely house was immaculate perfect place to stay and relax and enjoy the hot tub with pristine views. Awesome kitchen facilities perfect scenery and money well spent.

A wonderful house with exceptional facilities

Nothing at all.

Loved the setting next to the Labyrinth rocks. It was so, peaceful, scenic, relaxing and spacious set in beautiful gardens with fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, chickens and a friendly goat, at a comfortable distance! The facilities were excellent catering for all our needs and much more. Our hosts were welcoming and friendly. Loved this place.

There was nothing I didn't like.

I absolutely loved my stay, I felt very comfortable and the facilities were amazing. It was impeccably clean and comfortable, everything had been thought through and provided. Ken was very welcoming and informative. I really enjoyed my stay and would live to come back!

I enjoyed it all.

Loved this place. Super clean, comfortable. Amazing views. Really nice hosts that live just next door.

Good and relaxing

Shared toilet and shower

The outdoor entertaining area of the property was amazing, so much time and effort has gone into maintaining the beautiful gardens! Stargazing, the hot tub and the location were blissful bonuses.

Everything! Steve and Ken are wonderful hosts. Thank you.

Hosts were so gracious, friendly and accommodating over and above what you would expect. The accommodation is beautifully located, with the back garden being part of the Labyrinth Rocks attraction . The furnishings are very tasteful and a lot of thought has gone into everything. There is not a single thing. I would change about this property and our experience there, and really hope we get to return sometime in the future.

Can’t think of a single thing!

Excellent location beautifully decorated

There was nothing to complain about

A wounderful place and vwry relaxing I would recomend to anyone

Just everything. Very friendly hosts and nothing was an issue what do ever. Just a comfortable pleasant experience 100% recommended to anyone.

The location is great, not far from the town, amazing facilities. Just the most pleasant and welcoming experience.

We have been travelling for quite some time now, and were overdue a comfortable sleep. The bed and pillows were perfect, lots of fresh air. Hosts are extremely hospitable, there if you need them, invisible, if not. If you are a gardener, or garden lover, this is the place for you. A fabulous work in progress, and I left with some seeds. Can not speak highly enough of.

I'd liked everything about this guest house, even due my stay being too short, extremely clean and comfortable place, great location, the house has everything you need, then host are very friendly and wonderful. Highly recommend 👌 👍

Everything is outstanding about this place, wonderful.

It’s was beautifully clean. The owners were very friendly. The bed was very comfy and we would stay there again.

Amazing hosts. Steve and Ken are so lovely and they are doing a very good job. we enjoyed everything on our stay. fantastic stay.

The owner drove us to the local airport, thank you!

Spectacular natural garden - an extension of Labrynth Gardens Friendly induction to the property We enjoyed sharing the generous, comfortable and modern facilities with other guests - it made for lively conversation and an interesting evening.

awesome accommodation with friendly host

beds would be better with king/queen size and split base instead of two singles but I guess too hard to get it in the narrow hallway/stairs

Ken and Steve were welcoming and hospitable. The guest house is beautifully furnished and decorated and the rooms very comfortable. Everything we needed and more was available. Would happily return here if we find ourselves back in the area.

Nothing.

Super friendly hosts! Close to town and in beautiful tranquility. The spa tub under the stars was the cherry on top.

We made our own breakfast in the very well equipped kitchen. Very comfortable beds. Nice lounge. Lovely peaceful location, loved the spa, only slight disadvantage was having to take the car to get to a restaurant. Friendly and helpful host.

All good.

Friendly staff who gave comprehensive briefing of facilities. Loved the spa as evening was approaching.

Info on shared kitchen was clear on website

Steve and Ken are amazing hosts! They have done such a wonderful job with the property ☺️ It feels so homely, comfortable and absolutely stunning. Admire the garden with chilling in the spa 🥰 The special entry to the Labyrinth garden is awesome!

Great location, comfortable and spacious room.

Very scenic location with an extraordinary well appointed common room, good place to meet other guests

Stayed too short

beautiful garden

Very spacious, immaculately clean, terrific views and gardens, friendly and helpful hosts, lovely sunny deck.

It was all great, just a little too far to walk to pub/restaurant but had a fully equipped kitchen for home cooking.

Beautiful place to stay. Peaceful, serene in lovely established gardens near the labyrinth. Great hosts and lovely house with everything you need. Close to town by car if you need anything. Would definitely stay again

Nothing

Very comfortable, everything provided, great kitchen facilities (including an espresso machine). Very friendly and accommodating owners. Would like to go back

Stunning gardens, friendly hosts.

loved the setting! Ken was also very friendly.

found the beds quite uncomfortable.

This accommodation was one of the most beautiful I have ever been to. The fact that the bathroom is shared does not affect it at all, because it is shared with only three rooms and the bathroom was cleaner than in a 4-star hotel. The house and the surroundings of the house were a little piece of paradise. The owners are great and very nice. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.

Beautiful house with great facilities and friendly hosts.

Very loud pump noise that came on at 4.00am in the morning.

loved the gardens . lovely country feel . the home was tastefully decorated . 5 star all the way .immaculate .

sharing bathroom and toilet facilities is something we are not used to . rooms needed ceiling fans as very warm

Nice host, Hot tub is great, top location

oh my! this place is amazing, we’ve stayed in Airbnb’s all over the world and this one’s tops it! Amazing location, beautiful and spotlessly clean rooms. Ken and Steve are exemplary hosts. The labyrinth in the. backyard is a hidden magic garden. what a place, would definitely stay here again.

The bath, the surroundings, the living space

Fantastic stay at one of a kind place. Back garden looks like a small piece of paradise. Hosts were friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.

AC in room is the only thing that would make our stay perfect, or at least a mosquito net to keep the bugs out while ventilating the room during the hot days

Very relaxed, and a warm welcome. Very clean and great facilities.

Nothing to say here.
