40 Winks

breakfast was minimal. Location was good

The bed was uncomfortable. Unfortunately the room not big enough for seating in the room when weather is unpleasant.

location was great for us and very quiet and peaceful with a lovely outlook. Was very clean and tidy with everything we needed. Host was very helpful, will certainly stay again if we are in the vicinity.

40 Winks exceeded my expectations and the continental breakfast was excellent and was more than I could eat. Unfortunately it was only a single night stay because I needed to get on with my trip.

Very quiet and secluded, very cold in the morning though.

The water pipes froze during the 2nd nites stay. Would have liked a breakfast top up 2nd morning as well

Cozy and clean

Nice breakfast of fresh coffee, muesli and toast /jams waiting in your room for you

A treasure, sparkling clean a Cosy cabin loaded with extras, very comfy bed. Totally drenched in kiwi caring. Best value, you won't be disappointed. Thankyou Fiona and Ryan 🤩

The bed was comfortable. To be fair, there were just enough of the necessities to make it ok.

It was very small. Main problem being nowhere to put your luggage, the other that the bathroom is so small it's hard to dry yourself. It was cold when we were there, so sitting outside was not an option, but it was a nice garden. Breakfast was minimal

Good value and convenient locale.

Very tight quarters - e.g., bath wash basin too small for practical purposes. Bedside reading light would've been nice.

We had such a lovely one-night stay at this charming B&B! The room was spotless, well decorated, and incredibly cozy --perfect for a relaxing night away. The little touches really made a difference, from the comfortable bedding to all the standard amenities all within easy reach. Really enjoyed the homemade Muesli in the morning with fresh Feijoa's..

Lovely little cabin -a perfect stop off in a quiet location.

Très beau logement et un extérieur super

Man ist ganz für sich allein, auch wenn sich die Unterkunft auf dem Grundstück der Eigentümer befindet. Die kleine Hütte hat alles, was man benötigt. Die Kommunikation mit den Eigentümern lief reibungslos.

Es fehlten ein paar Ablagemöglichkeiten/ Haken.

We loved staying here! Great cabin which had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. Beautiful garden. Great and very responsive host. Amazing value for money!

The cabin is quite small which we expected and was no problem at all but it might be a struggle if you were staying more than a few nights.

Lovely spot good facilities Fiona could not have been nicer

Great communication, nice presentation of the csbin

Accommodation is ideallic and in a quiet residential area. 40 winks seemed to have everything we needed during our stay and the breakfast was an added bonus for us as it was light and not indulgent. Also we could tell a lot of thought had been put into to all the amenities including the UK plug adapters for us. More importantly... Fiona was excellent and very easy to talk to. We really enjoyed our conversations and felt completely at peace during our stay at 40 winks!

I can't fault it for our value for money.

The owners were communicative and friendly and the folder was handy to choose somewhere for dinner. Beautiful property, cute little cabin and I loved the little furnishing touches, breakfast was just what I needed to head on the road fuelled for the day.

Very compact but perfect for a short stay.

Beautiful, quiet, private

Nothing we didn’t like. Only wish it didn’t rain so we could enjoy the outdoor seating and hammock

Czysto, dobre wyposażenie, miły gospodarz

Dość trudno trafić. W nocy mieliśmy najazd mrówek, to było słabe

It was a cosy place in a great location.

Nice and quiet, individual accessibility from the host, good privacy.

Great little place with everything needed for an enjoyable stay.

Everything you need for a comfortable and quiet night's sleep. Very clean lovely quiet location. Really appreciated the breakfast left in the fridge.

Absolutely lovely welcome from Fiona for our stay in a delightful cottage with a beautiful view. Compact, beautiful linens, well appointed kitchenette, great shower. To top it all off exceptional value with light breakfast included. I would definitely recommend and study again.

Leaving

Communication for the hosts prior to my stay. Easy to find. Bread, spreads, yogurt, milk and museli supplied for breakfast and cold water in the fridge. Cosy for 1 night whilst on a work trip.

Fiona was very friendly the property was clean warm an comfortable and very private close to everything even hamilton which as a kid l thought took hours l would definetly recommend this property

A clean compact tidy cabin in a private garden setting that was an easy short drive from Otorohanga - we were enroute to Auckland . Some handy provisions included breakfast supplies and a delicious homemade granola. A bowl of fresh feijoas were an added bonus! We didn’t see the owners but the directions were clear and helpful and a number of signs led us to the cabin. A lovely garden walkway had fairy lights to show the way. I’d prefer this et up over a main road motel any day. Owners kindly recommended a local bar ‘ the thirsty weta’ to eat at where we enjoyed a meal and drink, slow food service but friendly young staff doing their best.

The first 40 winks sign would have been easier to see if some lights on it- we arrived after dark, and personally I’d prefer cotton sheets. Some bedside reading lights would also be appreciated

The owner was prompt in addressing the fact that the gas had run out on our first morning!! no hot shower.

I messaged to say I would have not internet, so please text or call with details of how to access the property. The owner replied BY EMAIL so I had to call at 0930pm to find out how to gain access. There is nothing telling you to walk all the way down the concrete path to arrive at the cabin, no signage. A bit frustrating after a long day.

It was very clean and it was lovely to have some cereal and toast for breakfast.

There was only breakfast for one day, we expected breakfast for all the days, and we booked for 4 days, eventually only stayed 3 days. Place is ok if you stay one day.

More milk and bread if you provide breakfast do so for all the days staying.

Pleasant, private, cozy unit located amongst lovely trees. Everything you need, super clean and comfortable.

Only 1 TV channel, only a temporary problem.

The privacy and the garden setup

The tiny home is small if you have luggage

Clean, peaceful, good communication and a very comfortable bed

A beautiful garden

A really tiny room, a couple with two large suitcases barely has space

Rural and the addition of breakfast was lovely! Hosts gave great instructions and gave us privacy!

Nothing

Quiet, peaceful location. Clean and modern unit. Comfortable.

Several miles from restaurants.

location was nice and private and the bed was very comfy.

Beautiful property Communication excellent

Not a lot really.

Peace and quiet.

The little deck outside the door was barely big enough for the table and chairs there, it was great to sit out there but had to be extra wary of how close the chairs were to the edge.

The peace and quiet, lovely and clean, everything you need.

Nothing

Comfortable, clean, kind host - we had a pleasant one night stay.

Great location near Otorohanga. Comfy bed. Nice and clean. Great value for money

Bit cold in the morning even with the heater on. Breakfast wasn't amazing.

We only had the yogurt for breakfast as we are not really breakfast people. Location and property were lovely.

We arrived quite late, so it was dark and we found the property and the cabin quite hard to find. Lights to lead the way or better instructions as to where to find the cabin would be an advantage.

Easy access! Loved the breakfast! Communication with Fiona was amazing

Location, peaceful....bed very comfy, cozy and warm. Definitely recommend.

Lovely quiet spot, great breakfast, welcoming host.

It was the worst frost of the year so a chilly start. It did warm up.

Small yet perfect for our needs. Everything you could need. Breakfast was great.

Nothing really. Although a little tricky to find in the dark.

location ok. was very quiet. the fact that i was able to walk in & out with out seeing any one.

breakfast was very basic ,if you did`nt like meusli there was no second choise. [i like meusli!]. lighting in bathroom needs repair. steps need a hand rail going down!.

Fiona was amazing and it was marvelous to meet her. She took care of all of our needs. The room was clean and just the right space for us. We only stayed two nights and it was quiet and lovely.

I think as long as it says this is a guest house on Fiona's property there will be no confusion. We felt weird about letting ourselves into a residential backyard when no one was home, but this might be a cultural thing since we are Americans.

The location was beautiful.

There was cockroach so that was a bit concerning but other than that it was pretty clean.

Host very wellcoming. Room amenities and Calm location

Bed was very comfortable

The bathroom was very small.

Loved the property and the tiny house concept.

Location was great, very quiet and relaxing. Hosts were very easy to talk to and has everything ready for us.

We didn’t eat the bread for breakfast as was a little hard after a night in fridge.

Good location. Breakfast included. Lovely comfortable bed.

It was very hot the day we arrived and there is no AC. Also we had two large suitcases and there was nowhere to put them.

I loved, loved, loved the solitude of this place <3 I came and did my thing and nobody bothered me, and because of the information provided in the room, I didn't bother anyone either. Exactly how I love my stays to be.

Loved the tranquillity, garden outlook and deck. Bed was comfy and muesli tasty. Nice tidy unit with mosquito nets on windows. Very powerful fan for hot nights.

Tv only so nothing to watch, shower head moved once pressure in hose so leaked on floor.

Convenient location just off the main highway with a quiet and peaceful environment. Good breakfast.

The only room for improvement was that the bathroom was a little poky.

An ideal spot for a quiet stopover at a reasonable price.

Would have loved some fresh fruit and better quality bread for breakfast.

The location is rural and is not far from the town. The place itself is small and compact. Our advice would be to have what you need in 1 case to allow you a bit more. The host was informative and helpful. Due to the weather we stayed inside. The host did offer to show us how to work the heating. Our tip would be to ask to be shown as we woke in the night, and then you will sleep comfortably. Having the sink to wash up is a bonus. You can buy a small bottle of wine and beers. We took our own as this proved cheaper for us and we had the drinks we liked. This is normal in b&b and hotels.

We did find the size a bit small for so one to be mindful if you like space, such as having a sofa. We did find the toast to be very rubbery, but I'm not sure if this was due to it being in the fridge. Also, the cereal was only 1 type, which, to date, we have had a selection. Just suggestions for the next guests.

Provided a lovely breakfast & the cabin was in a beautiful location so you could sit out in the morning listening to the birds.

What a beautiful and serene B&B located overlooking trees and a field. Our host Fiona was so welcoming and informative of the local area. We enjoyed the provided breakfast on the deck in the sun. Perfect 😀

Nothing to dislike.

Small but well equip and clean. Well thought out in terms of layout. Good for overnight stay. Lovely owner.

Might be a bit too small for longer stay. Breakfast included comprise of 2 tubs of yoghurt, 2 slides of bread and muesli for 2. Missing coffee (have mentioned this to the owner)

Loved the brekkie included!! Great communication from the host :)

Comfortable bed, facility was nice and clean overall

Ridiculous. The "fabulous breakfast" is literally a small portion of yogurt, a slice of toast and some butter that you can spread over it. That's literally it. Why even advertise breakfast if you are unable to provide it? When showering, the hot water ran out in two minutes and I was left with a sudden ice cold shower. My partner decided to not shower at a due to this. How anyone would be OK with these standards, I really don't know.

Lovely spot for a one night stop off on the way to Taranaki. Beautiful location and very friendly host.

This was one of the loveliest bnb’s we stayed at on our trip to the north Island. We enjoyed our home made stewed rhubarb with some yoghurt and muesli while enjoying it on the deck outside the room. It was a lovely bed and comfy cozy through the night! The owner was accomodating for us and had a blind fixed just after we arrived which we weren’t too fussed about but nice to be taken care of. Thank you so much for our stay, the view of the garden was nice to wake up to and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay! ☺️

A little squishy with our luggage but I can’t fault anything else!

I have stayed here a few times now for work and it is perfect. Nice room, bed and bathroom. Very yum breakfast.

Great location, very relaxing, great shower

There was no yoghurt or fruit for breakfast as stated in the advert

If you want to escape the city life this is the place to be so peaceful, you feel like you’re sleeping on cloud 9 the beds comfortable you feel at home in your own room and can relax without being disturbed.

Abit small but enjoyed our stay.
