This is an excellent property. I have stayed in many places and this was the best hands down. Thank you.

Very quiet and cozy place. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The best home made blueberry muffin.
Good host
No written instructions for TV or heater.
Beautiful views of the farmland and rolling hills. The self contained B&B was cosy and private with everything we needed & plenty of food for breakfast in the kitchenette

Posto bellissimo ed atmosfera stupenda. Colazione in camera perfetta
Location was beautiful just what I was looking for. Room with a view. It was warm and inviting. Great, friendly hosts and animals to look at. Plenty of selections for breakfast.
The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning mountain and farm views right from our room. Waking up to such peaceful scenery was truly refreshing. The room itself was very cozy and thoughtfully decorated. All the facilities are brand new and modern, and you can tell the host has put a lot of care into the details — everything was neatly and beautifully arranged. The shower bath/shampoo were good-quality and very pleasant to use. Breakfast was a highlight! It was incredibly generous, fresh, and delicious with a great variety of options. We felt so well taken care of every morning.
Breakfast with lots of choice
Everything was ideal from the thoughtful and warm welcome to the tranquil location. Really nice spot for a quiet weekend away.
Hopwood BnB is a perfect place to stay over between Wellington and Hamilton. It's close enough to the main road and Taihape, but rural, tranquil and quiet. The room is very comfortable. This time I stayed for two nights - a perfect breakaway and retreat for the soul. The host always ensures that I feel well looked after, treated and comfortable. The kitchenette is well equiped for heating up takeaways and preparing simple meals (eg. wraps / sandwiches). The included breakfast has lots of options to choose from.
Leah goes to a lot of trouble to make one feel looked after. Lots of small detail and care. A very comfortable place to stay.
We were made very at home, the fittings were high quality and well thought out. It was warm and cosy. Also there were lots of extra food items to use if we wanted.
Host was lovely, very engaging and proud to show her property to my wife and I. View was outstanding. Just what we were looking for. Highly recommend this property.
Very clean, comfortable and attractive setting. Lovely hosts
Everything!
Tolles Frühstück, super sauber, tolle Kommunikation, sehr liebe Gastgeber. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft schön, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Wasserdruck der Dusche ist super.
A great place to stay, very quiet and lovely with traditional NZ rural view.
Lovely rural property with great views. Leah our host was delightful and provided the most yummy breakfast! She also helped us with car washing facilities after we’d driven all the back roads

Super Lage. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Sehr sauber. Alles rundum perfekt bis ins kleinste Detail!
Leah was very welcoming, Hopwood B&B was very well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful rural outlook. Would highly recommend a stay, we would not hesitate to stay here again.
The premises felt new & were lovely & clean. Lots of brekkie choices to choose from.
Le calme, beaute de l'environnement
Rien. Parfait pour moi
La beauté du lieu, le calme , le confort , le petit déjeuner , la gentillesse de Leah
We loved our stay at Hopwood . The cottage is beautifully furnished with a gorgeous view of the hills around. It is thoughtfully equipped, warm and comfortable. A beautiful quiet place to stay. We hope to visit again.
Loved this little farm stay. Idylic location - just a short drive from town. So peaceful. Well set up unit with everything you could need. Very comfortable - not too soft - bed. Fresh muffins on arrival. Nice breakfast provided. FABULOUS host - happy to leave you in peace or have a chat if you want.

Breakfast was just right, location nice view
Found that while watching TV Netflix, was lagging quite a bit, so couldn't watch much tv
Prachtige locatie met een mooie uitzicht. Leah was heel vriendelijk en zij regelt ontbijt voor ons. Schoon, rust en een mooie ruimte voor ons samen.
Leah was the perfect host, making us feel very welcome after a long journey.
It was v clean and had lovely country viewsa
Nothing everything was excellent
Beautiful, secluded farm up on a hill outside of town. Lots of sheep and a few cows. Fantastic sunsets.
Amazing location, wonderful service.
This was an unbelieveable location. 2 or 3 kms out of Taihepe. The accommodation was excellent and very well maintained. The owner Leah was a delight to talk to. The views were unbelievable, not dis-similar to Hobiton. At the time of our stay we had been away from our home in the Islas Canarias for over a month. We have stayed in a huge variety of accommodation since then including overnight business class flights, business class hotels and motels whilst touring the north island by car. We can honestly say that Hopwood has been up there with the best and Leah has set the bar very high for the rest of our time here in New Zealand.
Nothing. There really was nothing to dislike. Good quality accommodation, in a stunning location with a charming host. What's not too like.
Everything was there and to an excellent stan
Nothing, top quality
Very nice location, fabulous view over the Hills, super High standard of bed, denotation and not the least: the breakfast selection. Will definitely recommend Hopwood B&B to friends and family👍
Lovely accommodation, very cozy and homey. The shower was great, and the lady was so lovely; she even let us help feed the lambs!
The room was super comfortable and spotless in every way! I slept like a rose and enjoyed the quiet area. Above all, the welcome was friendly and warm. I could have stayed a week!
2nd time visiting with 7yo girl. As awesome as the first time
Very clean, tidy with nice views of the hills. It has all the amenities of a hotel but feels far enough that you can choose to unplug. The owner was accomodating to our early check-in request since we were in the area for a wedding.
A quiet escape with and awesome view
It is amazing! This was our 2nd stay and again we highly enjoyed it. The owner Leah is lovely and heartwarming and provides a very tasty breakfast. She also took time to show me her pet cows and sheep as I was very interested in that. The place itself is very clean and comfy. Wonderful bed and WiFi is perfect. I can highly recommend this B&B. Thank you Leah!
All was perfect
Lovely place, comfortable, quiet. Amazing views and friendly animals. We loved it our stay. Breakfast was also pretty good.
Outstanding from start to finish. Welcomed genuinely by Host Leah on arrival. Room was perfect. Annex on garage separate from main house. Comfy, cosy functional and SPOTLESS. Everything you need. Food/kitchen set up ideal for short stay. Breakfast great, Tea coffee selection awesome. 7yo daughter feeding cows/meeting lambs/whistling to goldfinches, all special moments facilitated by Leah.
It felt homey and tranquil. Lots of extra touches to make one feel cared for.
This place is pure relaxation and calmness. Surrounded by green rolling hills, sheep and cattle, and mountain views in the distance, it’s the place to get away from it all! The room was lovely and breakfast selection was great. The hosts were most welcoming! Would definetely stay here again!

Immaculate room, well equipped with good quality china and bedding . Very comfortable bed. Great shower and toiletries. Peaceful location only a few minutes drive from Taihape. Delicious range of cereals, fruit, yogurt and preserves for breakfast . Leah’s home baking offered a welcome cake treat each day.
Nothing we did not like.
WHAT A LOVELY PLACE FOR OUR SHORT STAY, FULLY EQUIPED WITH EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. LEAH IS VERY FRIENDLY AND OBLIGING.
NOTHING, COULD'T FAULT THE PLACE.
Lovely location and everything was provided.
The weather!
The room was spacious and impeccably clean; the host was super warm and welcoming and the food provided for breakfast was copious and varied. Loved the country location too!
There was nowhere comfortable to sit - just the bed or the dining chairs. We arrived quite early so weren't as comfortable as we'd have liked.
This is an amazing place to stay - the room is very spacious with great views and Leah the host very welcoming. It was exceptionally keen and everything had been set out beautifully.

La experiencia de estar en una auténtica casa de campo. Además de alimentar a unos corderitos.
Amazing stay in beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended
Hopwood is amazing! A wonderful experience to enjoy quiet NZ countryside. The location is perfectly nestled in the hills and provides an excellent launching point to see many features (national parks, river cafes, waterfalls) and so much more. It's also exceptionally peaceful for great relaxation and taking a pause. The spot and the hosts are absolutely the best!
Friendly host, spectacular views and even got to bottle feed lambs!
Beautifully presented and provisioned, beyond our expectations.

Era tutto fantastico compresa l’esperienza di dare il latte agli agnellini.
Top class facility for 2 people
Friendly family in a magnificent country location
Leah was very welcoming, the accommodation very comfortable with lots of extra touches. The breakfast was great - more than we could eat. Delighted to be able to feed two orphaned lambs. Would highly recommend
We found this fabulous modern comfortable bed & breakfast studio accommodation 5 mins from Taihape township. Leah the host has set up a very stylish accommodation that had every comfort that we needed. Awesome selection of breakfast items, comfortable bed, great shower and free Netflix in quiet surroundings with tranquil hinterland views. We left feeling well rested after our long travelling day and would not hesitate to recommend Hopwood BnB to any guest travelling through Taihape. Thank you Leah Regards De'arne

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Our hosts are fantastic, the room is perfectly decorated. The breakfast provided is plentiful. The view is spectacular- the real, rural, untouched beauty. The whole vibe is just so cozy and relaxing.
I loved everything. Exceptional, clean , amazing food, felt so cosy and so clean and new
A fantastic little spot out of town so wonderfully quiet. Lovely welcoming dog, chooks doing what they do and a couple of steers that were friendly too. Photos of one of the steers, and an old sheep sheering shed across the road.
A wonderful stay, everything was the best. It wasn't just clean, it was spotless. Thank you Leah and Rod. And jazz the cows and the chickens
Absolutely STUNNING!! The bed and breakfast is situated at the top of rolling hills that overlooks flocks of sheep and cattle with mountains in the background. Extremely comfortable, and the food and drinks were generous and delicious!
No feedback, incredible stay!
Everything! The rural aspect, the comfortable bed and the amazing breakfast provisions! Leah has thought of everything, she even left home baking and chocolates! I’ll definitely be back!
I arrived late, it was raining and I was tired, I walked into to this immaculate warm setting and immediately relaxed, fantastic.
Absolutely nothing - this is a great place to stay off the main road, peaceful and relaxing.
It was the perfect farm stay, Leah was so lovely and very welcoming. We were greeted with homemade muffins and the chance to feed the cows
Absolutely nothing, if I were ever back in taihape - I’d stay there in a heartbeat
Everything was fresh and clean. The hostess catered especially well for gluten free requirements. It was a very pleasant place to stay
Everyrhing
Hopwood B&B was exceptionally charming, up on a hill a few minutes out of town with an array of land and sheep. Our host Leah greeted us when we arrived and had some helpful recommendations for us. We tried the new Indian joint in town and it was one of the best Indian meals of our lives. The B&B was comfy and toasty, and the breakfast in the morning went above and beyond with an array of cereals, spreads, warm drinks, juice and homemade banana & coconut muffins. Waking up on the farm was so blissful and we would return in a heartbeat. Thanks Leah!
Everything, location, comfort, friendly hosts. Home-made baking, 6 choices of breakfast cereals, fruit, juice, toast with 3 topping choices. Super clean and quiet. Perfect 🥰

Our stay was amazing!! Leah, your attention to detail was wonderful! Everything was beautiful. Our breakfast was way above and beyond our expectations! Wow, just wow! Thanks again, Sarah and Chris 😊🌻🌻
We loved everything about the guest house, including remoteness, friendliness and great service by the hosts.. and we loved the animals around:) everything was just perfect and if we will be traveling to this region in future we would absolutely love to come to Hopwood again! :)
Lots of choices for breakfast. Lovely surroundings tucked away in the hills. Would stay again.
Great host that supplies everything you could need. Peaceful location. Greta place to stop on a long trip & feels like home.

Peaceful beautiful setting , private unit with thoughtful amenities , helpful host, breakfast was lovely . First place we have stayed in with microwave cookware provided. Access is 4 ks windy drive on sealed road but so worth the extra effort .

Beautiful pastoral stay! Leah has made such personal touches to ensure that you have everything you could need during your stay. Lovely to walk around the neighborhood, enjoy the peace and see the sheep. Well suited location for travelers, set back from the highway and close to town for a bite to eat. I would return again!
Spotless accommodation, comfortable bed, excellent shower, spectacular views and a plentiful breakfast.
Nothing
Slightly out of town so very quiet and peaceful. Lovely watching the light on the hills in the evening.
Quite a small space but fine for a short time.
