Everything was great and well thought out. The room has everything you need 😊 It is a very peaceful and quiet place
The stay was good, good location but is in the country, so bring you own snacks, etc as the shops are not near. Mini washer worked well.
A clothes rack for drying and a more efficient heating system, especially in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable but a bit soft.
The cleanliness and views were stunningly beautifully New Zealand. Simple amenities beautifully presented. Walking distance to family very nearby.
Lack of lighting at night. Returning after dark was tricky as there was no evident outdoor lighting attached to studio. Three Ubers cancelled pre booked trip to city/airport and two taxis refused service in the area, so that was disappointing. Recommend a hire car to stay here.
Information around what to do and how to access the cabin before you get there
Maybe a bit far out from shops etc
this unit was very clean, comfortable and well complimented with continental breakfast, fresh fruit, mild, orange juice, chips and chocolates. Excellent place to stay.
Nothing. it was excellent. highly recommended.
Wonderful bed and breakfast on a farmstay run by Liam and Suzy. Quiet and relaxing, extremely clean, well presented and welcoming. Woke up to a view of a nearby forrested hill with a sheep in the foreground, which was a lovely setting for eating the included continental breakfast.
Nothing to dislike
Very well equipped little cabin, with a deck to watch the sun go down. There was a small washing machine if we'd needed to wash clothes. Nice little treats added e.g. crisps, chocolate, which were a pleasant surprise. If you are staying longer (we were just one night) there is a dressing area where you could put cases, hand up clothes etc which would be great.
You need a car to get to restaurants, shops etc. It isn't far, but just to note. There are 2 wifi networks, make sure you get the right one
I got my own bathroom, view was nice, and my own space
The bugs but it was manageable
Studio très bien équipé, tout était parfait
Breakfast was handy to have provided, friendly communications, small fridge for cosco purchases, well signposted, hosts were flexible about times.
Nothing luxury about it. Very basic overall. Coffee sachets only, room too small to have a couch in it, no top sheet under the duvet cover, was joined to main house so I could hear them walking around,
Superschönes Zimmer mit separatem Bad und begehbarem Schrank. Das kleine Sonnendeck vor dem Studio ist toll zum Hinsetzen, Ausspannen und Genießen. Empfehlung ist frühzeitig zu kommen, um das Sonne Deck vor der Dunkelheit ausgiebig zu nutzen. Wir waren leider zu spät dran. Hätten wir es vorher gewusst….
Lovely views and scenery
Location, tidy and private, good host
Nothing to not like
It was lovely stay at a really quiet and secluded studio in the nz country side. The ownet had provided for breakfadt and the size was perfect for a couple.
It was really very well set up, only thing i could fault was it did get quite muggy, and only had limited fitted flyscreens to windows. Studio sould benefit from more screens and/or fan or aircon. The tv offered limited stations, the availibity to cast programx or watch videos will be a bonus. Would I stay agsin, yes in a heartbeat, thanks for an aeesome stay
Decorative, view, privacy
Spotlessly clean, very peaceful with a beautiful rural outlook, cosy & comfortable. Loved the couple of extra snacky treats after a long day. Posted advertised photos were an accurate representation. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Probably the only thing that was a bit tricky for us was the tiny fridge when one has a few things that really need to be refrigerated whilst on the road for some weeks. Not a big deal.if organised and plan ahead properly.
What a gorgeous studio & pleasant stay. Perfect for passing through. Everything in the studio is so well thought out & they even had a mini clothes washing machine! Watching the sunset from here was also amazing. Would highly recommend!
Liebevolle Details für uns ausreichend. Sitzbereich vor dem Zimmer.
All good
We loved the peaceful setting & the cleanliness.
It was,a warm night & the option of a top sheet on the bed would have been good, rather than a duvet & fitted sheet only. Otherwise all was great. Thankyou.
The view and the breakfast was very good.Beautiful ,clean and comfortable.
N/a
Excellent hosts, location and facilities, a real gem of a find. Value for money exceptional!
Would benefit from having air conditioning in the room as a little warm during the night and preference not to open the windows at night.
Very quiet location in a rural environment
Everything ok
Such a beautiful and private spot. It was clean and tidy and peaceful. Exactly the place that we needed, to get away from usual life problems. We enjoyed hanging out on the private deck at night and the comfortable room.
Only very minor things.. Teaspoons!! Haha, it is hard to stir a coffee with a normal sized spoon 😉 Also, the fan was a little loud at night, but definitely needed..
Lovely setting
Tolle Lage, Betten ok. Ausschließlich der View ist Manuka ...
Es ist etwas unpersönlich. B&B ist für uns Kommunikation in live ... Honig Verkauf vor Ort, wird aber weder angeboten, noch gibt es welchen zum Frühstück. Schade.
Bardzo spokojna okolica, ładny ogród, pralka w łazience.
Beautiful clean and comfortable cabin. Views were incredible
A little further out than expected but we made it work
Sehr ruhige Lage mit tollem Ausblick !
Leider war die Matratze für uns zu weich !
A lovely B & B in a rural setting with a beautiful outlook. The accommodation catered for our needs and we were grateful to our hosts for the inclusion of a full continental breakfast, a rare service these days in the B & B industry. It was handy to do our washing and to hang it outside to dry.
Beautiful location. Clean and comfortable. Was only a one night pit stop for us but would be happy to stay longer. Nice breakfast supplied of continental type, plus a bowl of lovely fresh fruit.
Everything we needed,peaceful,great outlook, bird songs,even though the train went passed once a day it was delightful to see & hear. Very clean,good space for bags etc with a walk in wardrobe,comfy bed, screened window for fresh air & plenty of other windows to open up. A deck to sit & enjoy a drink or the sunshine. Great parking & a good path to access accomodation.We were very spoilt with breakfast & snack items. So much better than a hotel room. Thank you.

Quiet and secluded
Not having the gate code to access the property
Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön im Grünen gelegen. Wir haben uns im kleinen, aber gemütlichen Studio sehr wohlgefühlt.
Rural quiet location, the views of the Manuka were lovely. Breakfast items were a real bonus
Bed was rather soft, 2 pillows would have been lovely as well as a toilet brush
Location was great.
Poor water supply. Poor Bedding linen
The quietness and being left on your own, the snacks and breakfast
Nothing
The view and calmness Very soft comfortable duvet!
The breakfast was great, and the unit was spotless and warm. We really enjoyed our stay.
Situated down a country lane and private ROW. Very quiet with 3 Muscovy ducks for company. Extensive views towards hills and bush river flats. And a very comfortable bed. Great location for exploring South Head and also north up to Port Albert and beyond The old Kaukapakapa Hotel now refurbished as Shed16 is great place for a welcome stop for drinks and good food.
Maybe an upgrade to the tv to improve speaker quality otherwise nothing
Extremely clean and tidy with most furniture & fittings looking brand new
Nothing to dislike here
Breakfast was more than I had expected, providing a great selection of fresh fruit Toast bread and cereal, more than adequate to sustain my day, and the journey ahead. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. Nga mihi Kia koe Phyll
The weather
Clean and tidy and a great location with amazing views. The owners were really nice and would totally book again!!
Nothing it was great!!
Everything the other reviewers shared. Quiet, clean, Very thoughtful touches
all great
Breakfast self serve, good. Country Outlook.
Fair way from town
Very clean and comfy and excellent views and location
Liked it all very good
Perfect for our last night in New Zealand... It was a lovely, clean and comfortable studio.. so quiet and peaceful.. Liam & Suzy had left some thoughtful goodies for evening snacks and brekkie the next morning.. The views are so lovely, I didn't want to leave..
All of the little things like juice and milk in the fridge and chocolate Carpet was beautifully soft underfoot
Bed was a bit too soft Would be nice to have a bedside light
The view out over the wetlands
Thank you to the hosts! We loved your place, we arrived after a long day of driving all the way from Kaitaia. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We loved the views from our little Lanai of the sheep, the bush and scenery. The night was super clear and the full moon, and all the stars were out. When I walked the property the next morning I found treasures of a little herb garden, figs,, grapes, blackberries, flowers. We loved the visit from the ducks walking by. The studio had everything we needed. Comfortable bed, sweet little kitchenette, nice bathroom, everything super clean and comfortable. The breakfast was a wonderful addition. The selection of fruit, the cereals, the bread and spreads, the fresh milk and juice, the selection of teas and coffee, all were sweetly prepared for us. We felt welcome and appreciated as guests. We loved our stay and would definitely come back!
All of it.
The studio unit was extremely clean and well decorated, with lots of yummy extras like breakfast, fruit, chocolates and juice! Beautiful quiet location, with a stunning sunset. The hosts are lovely and we were well left alone (studio is attached to the main house).
The bed wasn’t too comfortable - it was very soft. I prefer a firm bed so this might just be me.
Beautiful location and views, house was easy to find with clear instructions for the gate and home. Lovely variety of snacks/ breakfast foods and drinks. Great temperature, comfy bed, minimal noise, very peaceful and homey.
Everything there we needed, very quiet, and a lovely place to rest up , after alot of travelling. So recommended to a couple, and great host.
Very cozy and super clean accommodation. You have everything you need. A basket of fruit and small snacks, orange juice, and milk were in the fridge, along with butter, toast, and jam, etc. Liam and Suzy are very nice and helpful hosts.
Nothing to complain about.
super clean, love the breakkie, it's a very warm place to relax
i wish i could stay longer
We enjoyed ourselves very much and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. The facilities, location and the room were just perfect. The breakfast with ample pieces of bread for toast, cereal and milk ,a wide selection of fresh fruit and the orange juice was absolutely beautiful. If we ever happen to be in New Zealand again we will be returning to Manuka Views.
The accommodation is compact, exceptionally well presented and all to the highest standards. Everything we required was in place and made our stay much more than just comfortable.
Absolutely nothing of any concern.
Had an enjoyable quiet stay Very relaxed Exactly what we needed!
The weather let it down but we still enjoyed staying there.
Very clean and safe stay with security gate
Mosquitoes and bugs , but that’s because it’s the countryside and I’m from the city
Very peaceful and quiet. Enjoyed chatting to the talkative ducks.
Beautiful rural property, with secure coded gate to get in. Set in stunning bush. Pristine clean inside, had everything you could need. Wonderful layout with use of washing machine, liquid laundry detergent and pegs provided. Small fridge with milk, orange juice, microwave. Private deck with clothesline to use, lots of sun, washing dried quickly. Lovely bathroom, comfortable bed. Welcoming chocolates, milk, tea, coffee, fresh bread to toast, wonderful selection of spreads, selection of cereal provided for breakfast. Met Liam, nice hosts. Definitely be back. Thanks a millon
Having to check out, sadly didn't meet Suzy. One night is not enough
Very clean and comfortable. Location and view were both lovely and quiet. Included breakfast was a wonderful touch!! Thank you!
Spotlessly clean (our primary concern) everything else is secondary. Comfortable and warm with a lovely location albeit away from the facilities that some may miss but you can’t have it both ways. The self check in and check out worked well. Everything worked as it should. Space is very limited to do anything food wise and whilst there are plates and cutlery there is little else. We had a very comfortable one night but thought that perhaps it was a bit overpriced. Cancellation is not an option and we had big problems with a major flight change so bear this in mind.
See above
Lovely views, and excellent parking. Comfy bed, good bathroom facilities and small but very functional kitchen area.
Great communication and facilities, perfect for what we needed. We were attending a wedding in the area and needed somewhere to stay close by. Manuka Views was so convenient and a lovely place to stay.
