Reviewed Sep 11, 2026The Nunnery is an excellent place to stay. There are a small number of beautifully presented bedrooms c/w basins, which share a shower room, toilet room with 2 toilets, and a very well appointed share living area with small kitchenette. The grounds are lovely.
Some people may not like sharing amenities but the excellent price per night reflects this. We had no trouble accepting this as it was clearly spelled out in the written description and we were impressed with the standard.

Reviewed Nov 25, 2025Cosy studio with a place to park your bicycle safely. We were staying one night on our two days Hauraki Rail Trail bicycle tour. The spa near by was a nice experience too.
It was a stormy night and we woke up two times for the alarm of the free fire brigade nearby. Of course it is not their fault but maybe it would be good to guide tourists who are not used to this, so they don’t get worried.

I want to ask were we the only ones in that huge place we never saw any other vehicles never heard anyone else. If u don't mind me asking do you get many in there, please don't take this the wrong way when I was shown in the other room and I had seen the hallway I was actually going to cancel my wife and I are Jehovah's witnesses with all the idols the crosses that was in there was far out over board I know it's called the nunnery but it was just about enough to turn me away if my wife came in she would have said no because there was no crosses or nun statues I was happy with our room please don't take this the wrong way but if you ain't getting many clients it might be a good idea to remove alot of that stuff and the statues change the name I see it's up for sale aswell all that stuff can scare alot of people the way it is we both enjoyed our nite bed bit uncomfortable but other than that thank you very much much love to you and your family ❤️🩷
