Willow View Cottage - Beautiful farm views close to Waitomo

Newly renovated with modern design. Hosts are super responsive.

Just one suggestion, good to add a cloth rack for clothes hanging.

Beautiful place, spotlessly clean. Hosts were very kind people

We loved our stay at Willow View Cottage. The cottage is beautifully appointed. We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, very comfy bed and the great shower. Lovely views over the fields to the distant hills too, especially nice at sunset. Highly recommend.

No breakfast was provided.

Kept awake by the sound of a pump running constantly in a nearby shed. Ran for several minutes then stopped for 1 second then started again all night. No electric blanket on the bed.

Location and the hospitality by Alli and Glyn

Nothing to mentioned

Stunning property, extremely clean and well kept

Proximity to Waitomo Caves

Breakfast not quite as I expected. There was no bread as pictured, there was a sachet of jam and vegemite but no butter, so a bit confusing and I do not think popcorn is an appropriate substitute.

It was perfect for us , nice , cozy and very clean. The welcome breakfast of eggs , bagels and cereal was much appreciated. We had a little guest greet us when we pulled up too .. a little friendly cat who was absolutely adorable.

The Ambiente is good. Kitchen ist fully equiped. The cottage ist roomy and is situated in a quiet and nice countryside.

Breakfast was poor: only milk, eggs, bagels, coffee/tea, thats it! Equipment of the cottage ist very basic and unadormed. The price we paid was definatelly too high.

Modern, clean, great location.

absolutely amazing place and the cat!

Breakfast provided, Frankie the friendly cat, comfortable bed.

No wifi the entire stay, floors weren't clean and left a green sticky residue on our feet and socks, no cleaning supplies provided e.g dish cloths, brooms or dustpan. Owners were away the whole time so nothing could be rectified, and communication was not very helpful. Trucks on the road woke us up in the middle of the night unfortunately.

A wonderful place to stay. Perfect for visiting the glow worm caves and the natural bridge. The unit is immaculately clean, comfortable and fully equipped. The breakfast basket was a lovely addition. Loved seeing the cows and chicken and making friends with the cat.

Sehr bequemes Bett, mit hochwertiger Raumausstattung. Gemütliche sauvere Unterkunft angrenzend am Bauernhof. Katzenliebhaber kommen in den Genuss eines liebesbedürftigen Katers und Hühner TV läuft den ganzen Tag. Tolle Unterkunft zum Abschalten 😄

Nachts bekommt das Zimmer leben! Für Menschen mit Flatter (Nachtfalter, Moskitos und anderen Fliegelebewesen nicht zu empfehlen) außer sie haben ein Moskitonetz dabei.

Met our needs to be close to Otorohanga to see family. Also comfy bed and ok cooking facilities, once we looked up oven manual on internet to get oven working/reset.

Unfortunately the studio is very close to the main house on farm - not what we expected and also quite a small studio. While nicely done (refer property photos) for that style, a few hooks for clothes hanging would help. It was expensive for what it is overall

Bien situado y cómodo.

Es un Airbnb más que hotel. Solo tiene una habitación. El desayuno te lo haces tú.

Beautiful property with a lovely view. Very comfortable bed.

Loved peaceful location

No comfortable place to enjoy outside area, as no cushions or umbrella for shade.

Very nice place, well thought out.

Our stay was such a lovely experience from start to end. Willow View was the perfect spot just out of town and down the road from the Waitomo Caves. Our stay was very pleasant and relaxing, all finishes were modern and beautiful and special touches like the continental breakfast were a bonus.

Nothing

The house is located on a farm and has lots of privacy and upscale ammenities.

Nothing.

The cottage was quaint and small but it was perfect size for myself and my husband. You also got a fantastic view of the farm and the hills and the sunset. We brought out the chairs from inside and sat on the little deck and had a few drinks and watched the sun set...beautiful. We also had a lovely breakfast of ceral, bagels, eggs and there was tea, coffee and hot chocolate. If we had more time on our trip, we would have loved to stay another night or two!

Nothing. The experience was exceptional and we couldn't fault a single thing

Lovely location, quiet and peaceful. Very welcoming hosts. Beautifully presented accommodation with everything we could possibly need available to us.

Nothing

We loved our stay here. Beautifully decorated, the bed was so comfy and cottage had such a charming appeal. Hosts were great too. Would recommend!

The whole experience, the most comfortable bed we've slept in. The cottage is beautiful. Perfect for our little getaway. We will definitely be back to stay again.

Comfortable, clean and cosy.

We were expecting to be self-catering and absolutely delighted to find a basket of breakfast goodies awaiting us on arrival and fresh milk in the fridge. So very thoughtful. The location was peaceful and beautiful. The shower was exceptionally good with modern fittings and high water pressure.

Possibly the term "cottage" is a little misleading as it's really a studio unit + bathroom. Being on a farm, flies were a pest - maybe one of those fly control gadgets might help? I thought there would have been a washing machine.

What a beautiful cottage in a bucolic location. It was spotlessly clean and very well laid out. The location was perfect for a place to land after our glowworm cave tour. Brooke was a wonderful host - she was very quick to respond to my messages and offered dinner suggestions and was very kind to allow us a late check out. There were nice breakfast fixin's included. Extra bonus was Frankie the cat who was so sweet and friendly.

nothing!

It was exceptional in so many ways.

A bit of a larger sign at the road would help visitors find the farm stay a bit more easily. Perhaps a small chair (in addition to the two dining chairs) who add to the room's comfort.

Very clean except a lot of flies Nice amenities given for stay Very communicative

The flies

Nice views and peaceful. Accomodation was clean and comfortable

Shame we didn't see the owners, even though they were just next door

The place is spotless, tidy, and no detail (real classy) has been spared: bed sheets are actual linen, i.e. made of flax, taps and fittings worthy of a first class hotel, and so on. Amazing shower rose and facility. We had brought our own breakfast as we weren’t told what to expect. Basically the same ingredients we use.

The total area of the cottage (20-25 sqm.) way too small. I found the photographs illustrating the place accurate but a little deceitful: no separate living and sleeping area. Impossible to do any cooking without the smell of food penetrating the bed space. Not suitable for people with walking difficulties as the steps are made of gravel and a walking stick is impossible to use. Last but not least, industrial noise of something resembling an oil drill, stop and go. All night. The backyard of a farm processing facility.

Comfy bed. Breakfast provided. Wifi good. Good shower. Fine linen provided.

Small. No lounge or easy chairs. Fences block views. If raining outside seating unusable. Balcony tiny with little shelter. Dead flies all over the floor - no fly spray. TV channels very limited.

The most comfortable bed we had the whole week! It was so cozy that I wished I could spend the whole day there soaking up the view. Yummy continental breakfast eaten in the sun on the patio. Perfect!

Can't think of anything!

Excellent, relaxing setting with beautiful views. Just perfect!

Beautiful property, exceptionally clean and well cared for.

Amazing!

Fabulous, quiet location. Beautifully appointed property. Very generous welcome pack full of lovely goodies.

Nothing not to like

Lovely room, cosy bed and bedding, tasty breakfast options and pretty view.

Not applicable!

Beautiful decor, nicely appointed. Very homely and comfortable.

There were a lot of bugs, dead and alive.

The views were beautiful, everything inside beautifully clean and presented with good quality furniture, high water pressures and lovely linens! A bright open lay out with lots of natural light, the perfect peaceful countryside getaway. The stars were also amazing!

No kitchen knives - only cheese knives! Slight mould on the outdoor sofa but very comfy with a picnic blanket thrown over - would recommend bringing your own.

Serene and cozy! We loved the location and comfort of our stay. The breakfast was an added bonus!

Location, peaceful and quite atmosphere

That I did not stay longer

Everything was well organised and instructions to reach the place very clear. It was a very quiet place where you are totally independent from the owner’s house. Breakfast was foreseen in the fridge. The place is well maintained and clean. You have a very nice view of the surroundings.

Beautiful cottage. Bed was like a cloud! Had the best sleep, and it was amazing to wake up to rolling hills, birds singing, and some chickens and cows in view from the porch! About a 20m - 30m drive to lots of glow worm caves. It was great.

Perfect size and location for what we needed, rural views, cute cat visited and we loved him! Everything was clean fresh and beautifully put together. Brooke was very understanding and accommodating to our sudden change of plans and very helpful. Highly recommended 😃🌺

Great communication from the beginning. Gorgeous accommodation, relaxing location and set up. Stunning views over the surrounding farmland from the room. Fully equipped kitchen with breakfast supplied- eggs, bread, condiments, yoghurt and cereals, most importantly coffee!!

N/A

Quiet spot with rural views. Sparkling clean, great breakfast provisions, lovely linen bedding and really comfy mattress.

Needed - bag stands and a few coat hooks, a soap dish in shower, a dish rack and tea towels, paper towel, fridge door changed over, salt grinder filled. Also, difficult for some perhaps, you have to carry bags around to entry as the path is loose gravel.

Lovely spot in the heart of the Waikato. A perfect wee cottage with an extraordinarily comfortable bed. I deeply appreciated the high-quality linen sheets and the farm-fresh eggs provided for breakfast were a delicious touch.

Such a beautiful little studio with everythingypu need for a night or two. Close to the waitamo caves. The breakfast provided was also fabulous with eggs bread, cereals and possibly the nicest brew coffee I've ever had. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing.

Wifi didn't work well/ at all, but we didn't bring it up so it may have been fixable. We had phone signal so just hotspotted the tv.

Everything was fresh and new, fell into the soft and comfy bed with fluffed duvet. Good pillows. Perfect spot to watch a sunset. Bathroom well presented, Kitchen was ready to prepare any meals if desired.

Beautiful farm stay new cottage, away from the road, private and warm. Owner done above and beyond with providing what guests would need, even turning heat-pump on before our arrival. Great breakfast coffee and tea. Thanks very much

All good
