Korbaylen Estate

Comfortable and private accommodation with good facilities and comfortable bedding. All toiletries provided together with all kitchen appliances.

Maybe the hot water pressure could be improved

What lovely well set up accomodation. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen setup and breakfast was just perfect. Sally and Brett were wonderful hosts and I loved my daily pats with Molly the dog

Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich, das Frühstück mehr wie reichlich, wir hatten ein Haus in einem wunderschönen Garten.

I received a warm welcome from the hosts Brett and Sally. The separate studio cottage was comfortable,clean and well equipped with ample supplies for a nice DIY breakfast. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, it was private and very peaceful. The location is convenient for a range of tourist attractions which are within driving distance. It is a little way outside Hamilton, but an excellent restaurant a few minutes drive away became a regular dinner destination.

Very spacious & nicely decorated all in one room. Continental breakfast included.

Very compact shower/toilet area.

This property is something different to your usual. You start with an arrival through the gates and up the white tree lined drive. The actual accommodation is behind the main house. It is an open bedroom, kitchen and sitting room. You can stroll around the gardens and sounding area. It is quiet and peaceful. The friendly couple Sally and Brett that own the accommodation live in the main house. The town is ten minutes away and because you are not directly in the town it is easy to move on to your next accommodation without getting stuck in traffic.

Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Room had good space and was finished nicely. Lovely location, nice and quite away from the city. Kitchen was well stocked with more than enough food for breakfast.

Bathroom was quite small, but was adequate.

Very comfortable. Friendly staff.

Location means only one good restaurant in area, but no problem for short stay.

The location was great. Good breakfast items plus some extras.

The bathroom was too small

The place is fabulous, but very poor Internet connection

Amply supplied

Great location with excellent facilities, very private for resting after a long conference day.

Wifi was cutting out and I ended up hotspotting off my phone for work and to watch a movie, I think they are addressing this problem.

A spacious room with all facilities set in a lovely large garden. Hosts Brett and Sally were attentive and informative without fuss. Molly (the dog) was a great asset.

Peaceful, quiet, clean and lovely hosts.

Rural and absolutely gorgeous property! Very kind and gracious hosts (owners). Apartment was well furnished, with full kitchen and two bedrooms. Bed was very comfortable.

A little hard to find, as GPS was not accurate in the area, and a close neighbor’s house number on the street was not correct (out of numerical sequence).

Easy to find, safe - down a lovely driveway. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Beautiful self-contained unit - with everything you needed. Was close to where we wanted to go (Field Days and University). Continental breakfast provided was ample, with a great selection. Lots of space and fresh air - highly recommended.

A minor issue was the TV (sports channel was playing up, we wanted to watch the Super rugby and NRL)- but the owners offered for us to watch their one inside.

Brett was a wonderful host, making sure we had everything we needed. Bed was super comfy and warm, and the area surrounding was so pretty. We really felt welcomed and at home. All the amenities you would need were supplied.

The studio was spacious. The stand alone unit was very private, clean and so cosy. Goodies supplied were an added bonus. Would high recommend. thank you.

Nothing!

Enchanting setting

Bit cold

Two lovely bedrooms and two full baths! This living quarters were in such a beautiful home. We wished we stayed longer. The animals on the estate were a treat and super cute to drive by. Very clean, had all the toiletries and kitchen equipment you needed. Very nice owners as well! We would definitely stay here again. It was about a 5-10min drive to the city Center.

Nothing bad to say!

Well appointed ,self contained and quiet

Nothing really.Bit far from car to unit past main house at night or when raining.

The location was good. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Friendly little dog who visited for a pet. Impressive drive up to the property. Bed was comfortable … nice bed linen.

The bathroom was tiny and the shower was poor. The WiFi was awful which was not helpful. The provisions left in the chalet for breakfast were very poor- powdered orange juice, individual fruit cocktail plastic portions, lower end yoghurt and bread that had been frozen. Marmite which was in an opened jar had butter from previous visitor in it. Other condiments and jams had also been used previously. Provision of eggs, bacon, sausage and tomatoes would not have been beyond expectations considering the price. Cleanliness around the shower and windows should be improved.

This is a large property and therefore very quiet. We were given the room in the front, and woke up in the morning seeing cattle (cows) grazing the field about 20 yards away! Pretty amazing. Bedding excellent (premium), and breakfast is help yourself in the kitchen. Furnishings are very nice. Best of all, car is parked right outside the entrance and there are no stairs hence minimal lifting of luggage. Host gave us recommendation for dinner at restaurant nearby and it was quite nice (otherwise difficult to find).

Best to have a car to come here.

Very sophisticated and nice room and equipment. Garden view gives us great relaxation. Hosts are so friendly an kind full.

Nothing.

Large self-contained suite with large bedroom, living area kitchen and dining area. Good facilities throughout. Very friendly hosts. Private and quiet.

Bathroom was rather small relative to size of suite. Location was a bit further out of Hamilton than we would have ideally wanted. Breakfast provided was Ok - fairly basic but with some nice touches (eg local honey)

A cozy cottage in a beautiful garden surrounded by pretty countryside. We were warmly welcomed and given good advice for our stay by the friendly host couple. It was nice to have basic breakfast items in the fridge at arrival, hence no need to rush to find a supermarket but instead a nice dinner in a nearby restaurant recommended by our cheerful host. The cottage had everything we needed and we felt immediatelly like at home. The lovely Molly dog, the handsome black cat and the neighbouring cows were all bonuses. Amazing Hamilton Gardens and the pretty Cambridge are both worth a visit.

Wifi connection was quite poor, at times non excisting.

Beautiful property, very nice hosts. Large apartment in a green garden, away from traffic. Location ideal for Hamilton visits. Very helpful suggestions for dining out or sightseeing by the hosts.

Lovely surroundings. Comfortable bed. Very generous facilities. Amazing fully stocked fridge for breakfast. Hosts were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Couldn’t fault it. Brilliant.

There was nothing that could be improved on.

A very warm welcome from Brett. We were surprised to have our own sitting room. The bedroom was very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped and stocked to get your own breakfast. Beautiful surroundings. Would definitely recommend. Sad we were only there for one night.

It was all good

Second time for us at Korbaylen Estate and everything was top notch, would certainly recommend this accommodation.

Every attention to detail was made for a very comfortable, quiet stay.

The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. The surroundings was most pleasing and we would have no hesitation going back to stay!

So private, quiet and in a country setting with beautiful gardens home away from home.

A lovely quiet property set well back from the road with beautiful gardens and a rural feel. Spacious comfortable living area with well stocked kitchen. The one unit is standalone a short walk behind the owners' house so very private.

The bathroom is very small and narrow.

Very friendly and helpful owners, Sally and Brett. Enjoyed chit-chatting with them. Their dog Molly was lovely.

Nil.

Very warm welcome from the owner whom was tending to the wonderful gardens. A well Presented set up which we were made to feel at home. We enjoyed a short time at the property before heading out and again the next morning we were up and out by 10am as the Is was checkout time.

Only negative, Breakfast was rather basic, kind of expected a cooked breakfast for what we paid.

Comfortable, secure, well appointed

A bit hard to find in the dark

Wonderful location, fantastic hosts who were really friendly. Thank you for the advice for the walk it was great. Gorgeous dog.

Booked the studio suite. My husband and I found it to be quite large and very clean. Location was central to north island attractions. We were provided towels, shampoo and soap. Breakfast was good as we were provided a medley of accoutrements both in the pantry and refrigerator. There is a supermarket a short drive into town which made dinner preparations a breeze. Brett and Sally are two wonderful hosts! We stayed and talked to them for about a couple hours just exchanging stories prior to leaving. They really helped us get a better understanding of Kiwi culture. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family! Thank you Brett and Sally!

Lovely relaxing, comfortable and quiet stay. Perfect location to enjoy a rural area but still only a few minutes into Hamilton. Just what we were looking for. We’ll be back!

absolutely beautiful

N/A

The location of the property was excellent for providing a central location to move about the city. The rooms that we had available for our stay were very attractive. We enjoyed talking with our hosts. A brilliant suggestion for an activity was a visit to Hamilton Gardens.

None.

peaceful, great location

nothing

We liked the cottage, the rural aspect and convenience to the hospital. Having a fully functional kitchen is always a bonus.

Intermitent and slow wifi (keep kicking out) was a bit annoying.

Beautiful location, very courteous and polite hosts. A beautiful quiet place to explore the surroundings from there.

Unfortunately, it was a bit too cold and there was no heating. But we have also unfortunately not asked for it.

Fantastic place to stay hosts are absolutely amazing I highly recommend staying here

Last minute late booking and arrived late. Host greeted us at the door. We really didn't expect to pretty much have the whole house to ourselves. would definitely come back here

Our commitments didn't allow us to stay long enough to enjoy the property and walk around the lovely gardens. Oh the hair dryer didn't work

Spacious

Small HWC

A lovely area and a lovely property to stay at. The room we had was so spacious with its own kitchen. Utensils and crockery etc were old and mismatched but all useable. Our hosts were very friendly, as was their dog.

The bathroom! This was extremely small with a tiny sink. There were toiletries but all large ones that may have been offered by the hosts but could also easily have been left by past guests.

The host were nice and very friendly. The garden is beautiful

The home is far from everything. The B&B sign was very small and placed on the ground so it make it difficult to clearly see when you arrive on the first time. We understood that B&B should have home cooked breakfast but this one was helped yourself breakfast. The en-suite bathroom was very small but there was a bigger bathroom outside down the hall.

I am not usually a B&B type of person but what a lovely place to stay. Broke up our trip home after an Auckland airport run. Picked the key up on our way and got back there about 1am. Comfiest bed and lots of options for our breakfast

Nothing

What a truly gorgeous place to stay! We wished that we stayed longer than we did at the B&B. We were greeted by the friendly hosts who were super friendly, helpful, and accommodating to all of our needs. We thought we had car issues with our rental and the host offered to help us with it which was an effortless and very kind gesture. We also loved having a play with their little dog throughout our stay. The washing machine and dryer was there to use, and such a bonus for us in the middle of our trip to NZ. We had access to the main lounge area which overlooked the beautiful outdoor lush gardens, you could stare at it all day! Would absolutely return - thanks for being fabulous, warm, and very fun hosts!

Lovely large room - beautifully furnished. Excellent breakfast. Lovely quiet location.

Walking through owners' patio to reach accommodation. Bathroom was very small. Outside table/chairs would have been a nice touch.

Self contained, ample space, lovely gardens, friendly hosts

Nothing

Very beautiful location, accommodating hosts, and enough facilities. The location was absolutely stunning and very tranquil in the morning. The hosts were very friendly and provided a good range of breakfast options. Also their dog was the cutest.

Small bathroom

spacious, private, large comfy bed, friendly owner, lots of extras in the room

nothing

Quiet spot not far from gardens. comfortable and well set up cottage behind main house. Molly the friendly dog who comes in to say hi. We were greeted by the friendly owners and then left to our own devices. Nice breakfast options to choose from.

It would have been good to have some directions on how to use,stove top in unit.

Very clean, warm, and comfortable. Away from the main house so also very private.

Beautiful location and even had a visit from the owners dog :)

everything. the location was lovely and our hosts were wonderful people and their little dog Molly made us smile everytime she came to visit. the unit was beautifully set out with all the amenities we required

na

Friendly helpful hosts. Comfortable bed and use of your own lounge in a quiet location. The breakfast was more than adequate . Sally had also provided homemade products which provided welcome extras.

No problems.

quiet, superbly comfortable and spacious, superb hosts

entrance and patio area very slippery when wet

Quiet rural living location.

very clean, beautiful surroundings, made very welcome, plenty of space in accommodation. Came up trumps!

What a gorgeous location and house! Exceptional amenities, super comfortable and even a beautiful little piano if you play. Wonderful owners as well.

Excellent location for what we wanted to do whilst in Hamilton , and everything we needed was in the property. Sally and her husband we very welcoming, and i would highly recommend this property.

spacious, homely, friendly host, good kitchen stocked for breakfast, clean and cosy

We did not have any issues.

Spacious unit with good kitchen and breakfast supplies,, quiet area on a large property, friendly hosts, close to Hamilton

Bathroom was a little small.
