Rural Retreat

The unit was amazingly clean tidy and freshly renovated, well set-up and comfortable with plenty of room. Thoroughly enjoyed being greeted in the mornings by the well behaved Benny, the ball obsessed Labrador/spaniel cross.

The comfort, affordability and location. Ideal for a good escape away from the hustle and bustle.

Little to close to the main house, but they respected your space ♥️

A lovely warm, well appointed apartment. Tammee is a lovely host and made us feel vey welcome.

Clean and tidy. It is quiet.

Beautifully decorated comfortable cabin, with everything you need for your stay - even ice cubes! Resident doggo Benny and puss Taco came for a visit which was so lovely. Brilliant contact from host Tammee. Thanks.

Such a beautiful, homey spot. We had a wonderful time and were made to feel so welcome. The Retreat is so clean, modern and we had an amazing nights sleep in a great bed and very quiet area. Hope to be back again when we visit the area. Thanks again!

Wir haben die Unterkunft für unseren Besuch im Hobbiton gebucht und konnten erst Nachts anreisen. Es war sehr unkompliziert, unsere Vermieterin hat für uns extra das Licht angelassen. Es ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Sehr sauber und alles da was man benötigt. Sehr familiär, der Hund Benny begrüßt einen sofort und möchte am liebsten die ganze Zeit spielen.. ihn muss man einfach gern haben.

Super comfy beds and friendly owners.

Чистота и комфорт. Игривый пес.

The property was perfect for the family. Two excellent sized double beds and/or sofa. The location was quiet, which is what we wanted, but close to a small town that had everything we needed. The property was also located no more than an hour to most of the places we wanted to visit.

Beautiful setting.

Schöne kleine Hütte, süs eingerichtet, alles vorhanden, gerne wieder!

Dass wir den Pool nutzen durften war fantastisch! Wir haben den Hund und die Katze geliebt!!!

Tammee is a lovely host and Benny is such a sweet and well-behaved dog, we already miss playing fetch with him! The facilities were great and the location was perfect for driving to Sanctuary Mountain and other local attractions.

Ruhige Lage Sehr freundliche und bemühte Gastgeber Liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus Und ein sehr freundlicher Hofhund

Geräumig, extrem sauber und super eingerichtet

Amazing hosts. Made to feel part of the family but still respecting your privacy. A most enjoyable long weekend. Loved the kids and animals.

Having to leave

Location is stunning. Hosts were so easy to talk to, such a beautiful easygoing couple. Benny and Taco were our little besties during our stay. The airbnb had really nice decor, and comfy beds. Tammee and Callum were very accomodating by being able to let us have a late checkout.

The tv glitches, there may be something wrong with the remote but other than that everything was algood :)

Nice and tidy, well appointed

Absolutely loved our stay, perfect relaxing accomodation with everything and more than you need. Location is great for visiting Sanctuary Mountain. The owners are super friendly and then there is Benny the dog and Taco the cat who are delightful company. We would love to return one day, thank you for a wonderful stay.

All the extra utensils were really handy!

Love the location, easy to find. Accommodation was great stayed in a lot of places and this exceeded all of them. Might have to stay longer next time.

Clean tidy cute comfy little place. Well made, clean good quality bedding, very comfy. Our friends loved the cute dogs, and the cow and sheep.

It was all good.

Beautiful location, a genuine retreat! Two lovely dogs thrown in to boot!!! It even had an air fryer!!!!!!!!

Perfect location for our requirements. Loved the dogs. Be prepared to throw lots of tennis balls. Internet a bit intermittent if you want to stream anything but otherwise perfect.

Not too far from town. Really quiet and an amazing family/great hosts. Everything was set up well and had more than we needed to be super comfortable. So good.

We had an excellent stay at Tamme and Callum’s place. They were wonderful hosts who made us feel right at home. The house is easy to get to, and it’s tucked away in a quiet area with beautiful views. The guesthouse is both spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom is exceptionally clean. We also had a great time playing with their lovely dog, Benny. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location. Lovely hosts. Great pool. Really great spot for a quick stay.

Lovely clean and fresh. Everything you need for a great break. 5* great hosts and gorgeous dogs

Exceptionally clean, very comfortable beds, spotless bathroom. Great to have access to swimming pool, towels provided. Lovely touch to provide toiletries. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

Nothing. Couldn't have asked for more.

It had everything you needed , well presented Great hosts

Modern, very clean and super comfy. Hosts were wonderful.

This place is wonderful. You get your own separate unit and they have everything you need from Tv, towels, microwave, fridge, washer, etc. it was conveniently located, at least for me, between all the attractions I was going to do while in the area which was Hamilton, Rotorua, and waitomo caves. The family is friendly and has two lovely dogs that love to say hello. As the name says, it’s in a rural area so the nearest down is about a 15 minute drive. It was amazing waking up to the sound of birds and not cars for once. Would definitely come back. Thank you again for everything 😊

There is no AC but wasn’t an issue because once you opened the windows, the fresh air from outside cooled the inside.

Absolutely fabulous stay, highly recommended! The bed was super comfy, as to the sofa, the decor was perfect with great kitchen facilities that was fully kitted! And the shower ... perfect! Nice & peaceful in a rural outlook, felt just like home. Lovely owners and pets.

Lovely rooms, great rural location and the hosts were awesome, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing to dislike.

So beautiful & clean, all modern & new. Lovely presentation.

Quite small, but totally suited our purpose & we were completely comfortable.

Absolutely outstanding, this has been the best accommodation we have had while working away from home. The hosts have been great to deal with, and the dogs are very well behaved! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, or to recommend to others.

This is the second time we have stayed near Cambridge to break up our trip between the Coromandel and Taranaki. It is lovely to stay in the country and only a 10 minute drive into Cambridge. We had a swim in the pool and relaxed in the loungers on our arrival and it was a great way to cool off and relax after the drive. We were greeted by the very friendly dogs, we adore dogs and they were polite things so no need to worry if you aren't a dog person. Great that the windows all had fly screens so we could leave the windows open and get some air through.

It was better than what we expected so no negatives.
