Gorgeous accommodation & fabulous host!
There were a range of breakfast provisions . Lovely quiet country outlook
We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect—a short trip into town where we were spoiled for choice with delicious eateries and shopping options. The privacy of the accommodation was much appreciated, providing a peaceful retreat. The bed was incredibly comfortable—so much so that my husband slept for over eight hours straight, which is a rare luxury for us these days. The space was immaculately clean and a wonderful place to relax between visiting family and exploring the area. We also enjoyed the charming drive past cows, miniature ponies, and horses along the driveway, which added a lovely touch of rural charm. We didn’t have time for a bath, but I wish I’d made the time to soak in the huge bath tub. Denise was a wonderful host; she checked in with us to ensure everything was perfect and made us feel truly welcomed. A special highlight was the homemade loaf of bread she kindly made for us, which we took to my brother’s house, where it was eagerly devoured. We would return in a heartbeat! Thank you, Denise, for your warm hospitality. Warren and I left feeling refreshed and recharged—just what we needed to face life again. We truly appreciate your kindness and look forward to visiting again soon. 😊
Loved everything!
Envisage Estate is an absolute gem!! Cosy, welcoming, heavenly grounds and screnery... The space is gorgeous -- the bedding was absolute luxury! And the BATHTUB!! 🫠🥰 Our stay was wildly above expectations... only sorry we didn't stay longer.
We loved everything - it was such a fun stay. The property was out of town so nice and quiet. The kids room was separate from the main room which was great for a bit of peace and quiet. It was decorated so nicely and had everything we needed, including extra pillow's, blankets etc. The heat pump was great & kept the house nice & warm. The beds were super cumfy (including the kids). The kitchenette was sufficient for what we needed & had a great little Delonghi coffee machine! The bathroom was quite spectacular & there was enough space for four of us to brush our teeth all at once. I think the best part of the say was arriving to freshly baked bread - this was a wonderful & delicious surprise.
We loved our short stay. Lots of thoughtful details and a very comfortable bed and amazing bathroom.
Rural location close to Cambridge, so quiet and peaceful. Lovely facilities for our 3 day stay with comfy beds, spacious bathroom, fast wifi and TV in both bedrooms. Parking right outside the accommodation. Excellent communication with host. Thanks Denise we will come again.
The accommodation is great but has limited kitchen space for preparing meals and no separate lounge. No problem unless you plan on spending a lot of time at the property.
The unit was cosy and comfortable
Wonderful place. Very comfortable. good beds. Decorated and outfitted to a high standard. The bathroom is spacious and the big bath is magic. highly recommend.
Nothing to fault.
Lovely location, very peaceful and quiet! Facilities were fantastic and wonderful host who had great restaurant recommendations.
A lovely location just outside of Cambridge Town Centre, very comfortable rooms, a nice touch of fresh bread & butter when we arrived.
As shown by the photos on the website, the kitchen area is small & compact.
Lovely situation, great having supplies for breakfast. Denise is a wonderful host
Welcomed with freshly baked bread. The home was spotless with thoughtful touches made us feel right at home. Lovely location to unwind and enjoy nature. Denise the host is an absolute delight. Highly recommend this home away from home .
Bed was ok. Little night lights built low in bathroom and living areas
Very small, I think in the middle of snow season, you might see a glimpse of snow high up in the tiny kitchen. Nowhere comfortable to sit outside. No cover and just just table and 2 chairs, 6 metres from road.U
Location was beautiful and peaceful. Furnishings were very luxurious.
The wooden step into the front door was a little wobbly.
A lovely luxurious place. Denise is very welcoming, and her place a delight to stay in.. Would recommend.
Everything was perfect.
Leaving.
Beautiful, quiet a lovely location
Lovely quiet place with very comfortable beds. Good use of space. Nice garden with fruit trees. Didn’t meet the owner but visitors book sings her praises.
Slightly tricky access for elderly parent who walks with two sticks or a walker .
Best quality property at an affordable price. We stayed here for 2 nights while working at Mystery Creek for the weekend. I was blown away by the quality and attention to detail. We had everything we needed plus more, stay here if you need somewhere quiet and comfortable.
It was lovely and quiet Facilities were great, beds were soft and comfy.
Nothing bad to say
The location was incredibly peaceful and quiet, offering a perfect rural retreat. The quality of the stay was exceptional, with a luxurious bed that provided ultimate comfort. The bath was truly extraordinary, taking relaxation to the next level.
There was no lounge, apart from that, we couldn't fault the property.
Denise was a fabulous host.
Nice location. Great bed and fantastic bathroom
Would have liked nicer furniture to sit outside.
Very attractive, clean and comfortable. Fabulous bathroom.
Nothing
Perfect in every way - Denise was a wonderful host
I loved the location it was out in tranquility but at the same time close to everything you need. I also liked the flexibility of the lady that runs it... (she made up a extra bed for my extra child)
The water tasted funny even after being boiled. Not a big deal clearly... but would recommend taking bottled water.
Very helpful and friendly host
There wasn’t much kitchen space
Breakfast items, home made bread, BBQ access and the venue were wonderful. Hosts were lovely and helpful.
Amazing accomodation with a spectacular view.
Serene , modern, fantastic host
Denise was very welcoming and the place was immaculate and well equipped.
The door to the kitchen meant that the occupants of the second bedroom had to disturb the others to make a cuppa.
Beautiful property, loved our stay!
Beautiful setting, extremely comfy beds, the homemade bread was Awesome and host Denise very lovely and helpful
Probably the kitchenette it was too small and not lit up very well.
Amazing getaway
Nothing
Comfortable, Warm, lovely peaceful location
Beautiful cottage, good for an overnight stay for a family of four. Gorgeous bathroom, and well appointed. The fresh bread, coffee, honey, jam and snacks were delicious! The owner was lovely and the property is beautiful and perfect location to town and Hobbiton.
It was a bit chilly!
Beautiful rooms and surroundings. Our host was super friendly and a delight to talk to. Anyone running a BnB should visit to see how to do it! Brilliant retreat for a few days.
Having to leave....
Lovely location still close to town. Room was beautiful and clean, we didn't need to use the kitchen much but it had everything you needed if you wanted to cook something up. The little extras in the ciboards like kids books, ironing board etc made it more like home. The fruit trees outside were very yum. Denise is a lovely host and she recommended a good cafe for breakfast and a few shops to see. If we needed naything she was there, thank you so much!
We're from the Hawke's Bay and not use to the cold, maybe a heater in the second room and bathroom would have made it more comfortable but other than that, it was a delightful stay.
The massive bath was amazing! All of the furniture and linen were clearly very good quality, and the beds were so comfortable.
The kitchen was a little small but we had everything we needed.
Beautiful grounds, cosy room with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Huge bath with the garden view. Super quiet , only birds and nature.
Perfect place to stay with our little family, great outdoor space for the kids to run around and get some fresh countryside air. Denise is a wonderful host & her home made bread was delicious!
That we didn't stay longer
Comfort and ambience. The extras such as freshly baked bread with butter, breakfast cereals and other small pantry items were well utilised. Very helpful host.
Kitchenette very dimly lit and would suggest led under cabinet lighting. This was a minor issue and definitely would not deter me from another stay.
Everything just perfect
The host was very helpful and friendly, excellent location, very quiet.
Nothing
Meticulously clean and stylish - perfect for an overnight stay on our way to Auckland that enabled us to catch up with old friends in Cambridge. Host was friendly and welcoming.
Maybe wouldn’t suit an extended stay as cooking facilities a bit limited and not much lndoor living space - but great outdoor spaces and views.
House is very beautiful.The decoration is quite excellent.Love the bathroom with nice tub.Everything is quite convenient.Surroundings there are sheeps and cows that we can walk to them.Love here.
Very comfortable accommodation, lovely setting, luxury bedding etc and everything you could need was supplied.
Grounds need some TLC, couldn't really have sat outside if we'd wanted to. While the deescription doesn't state there is a lounge it would be helpful to state that there isn't one. We got a bit of a suprise to just find 2 bedrooms and no communal living area.
Beautiful rural setting in heart of Awesome Waikato. Lovely hostess and breakfast provisions.
Fabulous place!! Perfect room with the most comfortable bed and huge bath tub! Lovely to have breakfast in the garden listening the birds and the water fountain. I would have stayed forever!
Nothing!
Facilities and Location
The quiet location was very good. Also the friendly gesture of delicious home-baked bread and many more amenities, such as coffee and milk.
Unfortunately the space for eating was very small. The possibility of cooking was also limited.
In a quiet rural location, the lodging was a wonderful place to stay while exploring the area around Cambridge and Hamilton. With 2 bedrooms, we had space to spread out. Our host was welcoming (with fresh bread and fruit) and helpful. The place was spotless with a huge bathroom. There were plenty of fruit trees in the yard for those interested...and cows, sheep and horses just down the driveway.
Since we make our own breakfasts, the small kitchen area was a challenge, but we made do. Actually, as it is the kitchen is well stocked and functional.
Beautiful setting and an ideal location for our needs. Fabulous host. The website was a little misleading in terms of what was available (but the owner mitigated/explained this on arrival). Fortunately, the weather was good so we could BBQ outside, otherwise, I think cooking inside could have been a little cramped. The bathroom was amazing but didn't get to enjoy the big bath!
It was so peaceful and quiet. Denise, our host, was a delight! Freshly baked bread, milk and butter in the refrigerator were indicators of the thoughtfulness in creating a welcoming and comfortable environment.
Beautifully presented
Nothing
It was a lovely location and easy reach to activities around the Cambridge area. The accommodation was to a high standard and really would certainly stay again
Nothing it was perfect.
Country farm location was very peaceful with the odd lowing cow. Our host was very welcoming and eager to please us. She provided fresh milk and bread as well as other basic needs. We were able to do laundry and use the tumble dryer which was great as were on the move a lot and needed to do some washing. Beds were comfortable and the air con worked very well which was great as it was hot. The bathroom is very modern and has a great bathtub for a good long soak. The distance to Hamilton from the home was 15 mins by car. Hobbiton was only 30 mins away. Wi-fi unit was in the apartment so it was for our personal use. A BBQ was available but we did not use it.
Apartment and Kitchenette felt a little cramped. However, the cooking options were increased by the availability of a plug-in electric burner and a BBQ. Internet was a bit dodgy for a while on the second night but eventually settled after a couple of hours.
Location, quality of furnishing, friendliness and warm welcoming of host
Love it all, especially the hosts
We had a great time and really enjoyed it. The house is super new and very clean. It is modern and stylishly furnished. The kids loved the yard, the fruit trees, the dogs and the Lego.
Nothing to complain
Bathroom was amazing, comfy quality beds, fresh bread and butter, milk, yoghurt and breakfast cereals all provided, laundry facilities available
The owners were really lovely, they made us fresh bread which was lovely, everything was immaculately clean and well provisioned. And the animals around the property were a big hit with my daughter.
The property description should be clear there is no lounge, so this is not a property for hosting friends for a drink, and it was fine for what we needed but I think it was slightly strange not to explain that in the property booking (at least we did not know that).
The premises were just beautiful. Attention to detail, amazing. Denise the host was lovely. We look forward to returning
Location was easy to find as per instructions given. Some thoughtful additions in the kitchen (butter, milk, bread, cereal) were lovely to see.
The counter space was very small when compared to the massive bathroom. The entrance was through the master bedroom.
Excellent Hosts & Family! Fantastic house and surroundings!
Nothing
Excellent location. Lovely setting. Perfect for a short break away.
Great place beautifully set out.
Awesome!!! Really enjoyed our stay. Easy checkin, goodies in the fridge, modern, warm and clean. On the plus side, it’s fairly quiet and peaceful being on the outskirts. Would absolutely stay again, perfect!
Such a beautiful location with amazing outlooks. Lovely personal touches the fresh bread was awesome and the bath was incredible.
Fantastic bathroom. Lovely warm bread. Really clean and tidy. Lovely hostess.
The bed was very comfortable beautiful bed linen . Huge bathroom plenty of supplies, and the banana loaf was delicious that we found lovingly wrapped in a lovely tea towel under a food cover. The host Denise has thought of everything. So peaceful in the country too. But so close to Cambridge town. lovely big shower with a heated towel rail.
I was really looking forward to a lovely soak in the gorgeous bath, it took along time to fill as it is big! but I was also conscious of using all the hot water as i didn't know the hosts source of hot water. It was a lovely relaxing bath but it got cold quickly as it is not insulated properly. We had to boil the jug a few times so that it meant it would stay warm for a bit longer.
A beautiful spot, and a great set up! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will certainly look to return! Thanks so much 😁
Location, the beauty of the house and rooms, places I wanted to go to were within 30 min. It was also a great price for the time staying there
N/a

Nice quiet spot and very relaxed… nice to chill and unwind…
No probs at all
Great host.
