RIDGETON

De rust van de omgeving, de vogels in de morgen. En de vriendelijke ontvangst van de gastheer en gastvrouw! Persoonlijke ontbijtjes!

Beautiful setting, well equipped, exceptionally clean, comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Everything worked and was in good condition. Craig was a great host, going above and beyond, including helping us sort out a puncture.

The owners thought of everything. This place is exceptional.

We were impressed by the beautifully presented gardens on arrival and also the high quality of the accomodation. Our room had a very comfy bed, clean bathroom and lovely outdoor area where we could enjoy the garden views. Breakfast was delicious with the extra touch of homemade bread and muffins. We would highly recommend Riverton to everyone.

Nothing we can think of

A beautiful place, everything well maintained and it was so nice and quiet. The room had a view to the garden and outdoor seating. Breakfast was delicious and our host was lovely. She took really good care of us.

The breakfast was excellent. Our hosts went the extra mile to provide us with fabulous vegan meals. The views from the dining areas were fantastic.

Everything was perfect, clean and comfy. Craig is a great host! Highly recommended!

The venue and breakfast

none

We felt very welcomed, what a lovely spot they have there. Everything is catered for with attention to detail. I was spoilt as I am gluten free and I was treated to home baking 🙂. The breakfast was really delicious and the icing on the cake was the music chosen especially for us when we sat down to eat. Thoroughly recommend 👌

A serene and tranquil retreat that felt like home and at the same time a different realm. The setting provided a perfect escape from daily life, allowing us to unwind and reconnect in peace. The staff's exceptional hospitality and thoughtfulness enhanced our memorable weekend, making us feel well cared for. Ridgeton is an ideal destination for anyone seeking a peaceful break or celebrating a special occasion, offering a unique experience of relaxation and rejuvenation.

There is nothing in that place I didn't like.

Beautiful, quiet location with lovely gardens and long distance views. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Welcoming and friendly hosts.

The bedroom and bathroom were perhaps a little tight on space but not a problem.

The atmosphere was very pleasant and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating ! The whole house was absolutely amazing and the view was breathtaking would whole-heartedly recommend to everyone.

Craig and Tammy went out of their way to ensure we had a relaxing stay! We loved the gardens and beautiful views. The bed was comfy and facilities were 5 star. The breakfast was delicious. There were so many choices. We were very grateful for the daily fresh avocados.

Superb location, beautiful property and facilities.

The most idyllic location. Beautifully presented

We were only staying one night

I loved this property, what a beautiful home and gardens, Craig was very kind and attentive!

Such an amazing gem!! Loved our stay here and was everything we expected. The hosts are super friendly and knowledgable. The breakfast spread was delicious with a lot of choices and served avo’s that are grown on the farm (stunning!) Will definitely be staying again.

Stayed at Ridgeton over Labour Weekend to attend a family wedding nearby. Exquisite property with beautiful grounds all maintained by Craig and Tammy. Beautifully clean appointed rooms with every amenity catered for including a jar of biscuits to have with tea and coffee and a chocolate on your pillow on arrival. There is a kitchen at the end of the hallway with plates, cutlery and glasses for guests to heat up food in a microwave if required. Breakfast is well catered for all tastes (no special diets) including a selection of cereals and fruit, plus pasteries, toast and fancy breads. Coffee or tea is also available and delivered by your hosts. If you are looking for a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Ridgeton is the place to stay with the tranquility and peace of the countryside. Would highly recommend.

We liked everything about Ridgeton.

We booked this B&B just a few days before arriving in New Zealand. It was a surprise to see such a beautiful place. It is is in the country with amazing views of the Bay of Plenty, surrounded by pasture land and their avocado grove. The landscaping is gorgeous ( all kept up by the hostesses we found out ). we were warming greeted and shown to a wonderful room with the view of garden and sea. There is a kitchen facility available. Everything is new, modern yet very homey and comfortable. Craig and Tammy are so very friendly and serve up a fine breakfast!

Can't think of a thing except we didn't stay long enough :-)

Wonderful hosts, beautiful property, clean and tidy rooms and amenities and sumptuous breakfast. A dream destination to relax 👍

Nothing to dislike.

We could not fault The Ridgeton. Every aspect of our stay was superb. We will highly recommend the Ridgeton to anyone looking for 5 star accommodation.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

I loved everything about my stay, could not ask for better.

That I didn’t stay longer.

Everything! location great, beautiful home and garden and lovely hosts

The hosts were lovely and knowledgeable about the area. The house and grounds were beautiful. Breakfast delicious. Wished we had booked to stay longer.

We didn't book for long enough!

Breakfast was fantastic, fresh fruit, fresh berries, delicius coffee. Fantastic host, very informative and gave us a tour in his avocado fields. Very interesting

Nothing

Visited earlier this week and all was perfectly in order - a great location, great host and an exceptionally nice house to be staying at. The owners have tended to all details in and around the house (which is on his avocado yard/plantation) - it simply is better than a 5 star hotel, Ridgeton is a luxury yacht on land.

Nothing - once you notice the level of attention paid to details you'll understand there isn't anything to dislike.

We booked 2 rooms but had the entire ground floor for ourselves. This surely has got to be one of the top properties we have stayed at. everything about the place is simply perfect. Extremely beautiful house on top of Avo orchard, exceptionally clean there is literally no spot anywhere in the house, very good hospitality, Breakfast spread was lovely, delicious and plentiful with choices of Bread, Pastry, Cut fruits, muesli, yoghurt, juices and cereals..they even played Indian music in the background for us during breakfast which was such a great personal touch. Think no further and book this up :)

everything was exceptioally good

The location is great for exploring the Bay of Plenty area. Superbly presented B& B with bedroom, private bathroom, large living room and kitchen. Delicious breakfast with home baking and home grown avocados. Peaceful spot to sit and read, very pretty and well-tended garden. Charming and engaging hosts full of local knowledge. The weather was poor but I nevertheless spent a very enjoyable week there.

Nothing

Meticulously maintained and so much thought had gone into what guests may need. We didn’t use the kitchen and laundry but noted how well equipped it was. There is a lovely lounge with newspapers and a selection of board games . Breakfast was extensive and delicious. Cereals and home made muesli with fresh apple and yogurt. Fresh fruits. Scones with jam and cream .Savoury muffins. Avocados and several types of breads. Carrot cake and a choice of coffees and tea. Lack of noise made for a good nights sleep . Comfortable bed. The bedroom and bathroom was new and modern. Really enjoyed talking with the one other guest at breakfast.

Can’t think of any constructive criticism.

Breakfast was really good lots of variety and very high quality. Location was so quiet with easy access to state highway

Nothing

Tammy and Craig were amazing, everything was perfect. the house is lovely and very comfortable. the breakfast is delicious!

Ongelooflike, lekker, magic!! Just read other reviews for Craig and Tammy's Ridgeton B&B and book your dates before someone else does. Thanks team, you created the perfect anniversary weekend for us. We loved the entire experience and especially the kuiers, comfy bed, manicured garden, impromptu Avo orchard tour, and the views. Your courage to "dare to be different" shines through in your success as hosts, growers, cooks, builders, interior designers, neighbours, and trend setters. You are two spectacular and special humans. We can't wait to come back.

That we only stayed for the weekend. We should have booked for the month.

This place was spectacular. From the views, to the gardens, to the beautiful patio spaces with lounge chairs and throw blankets, the avocados and other fruiting plants and flower gardens, the birds, the peace and quiet ,the lovely owners, the fabulous breakfast. This is a place to come and recharge with some wine and a book I wished we could have stayed longer.

Nothing. This place was fabulous.

Beautiful setting. Lovely and quiet with lots of birds. Wonderfully manicured garden. Spectacular Breakfast.

stunning location with amazing views and immaculate presentation

What a spectacular stay! Every aspect exceeded our expectations, thank you Craig and Tammy for being such amazing hosts! Great value for money, highly recommend!

I travel a lot for work and always like to try different places. No more when visiting Tauranga, Ridgeton is simply superb and is always going to be my future choice. Do not mess about with others just head here you get a superb welcome, pristine location, luxury accomodation and great breakfasts. Thank you Craig.

Nothing at all everything was excellent.
