The cottage is sited next to a farmhouse, off a very busy main road and through a shut farm gate (not nice in the wet). Watch out for the BnB sign as it is easy to miss. The cottage is spacious with a comfortable bed but it feels a bit bare, without a table to eat off and looking out to a paddock and picnic table. The heat pump was welcome as the weather wasn't good but it only put out a low level of heat, despite raising the thermostat to its maximum. It must have been the same for earlier guests as it was set at its maximum when we arrived. Water was only available in the bathroom, from a tap that was set too low to fill the jug easily and we weren't able to wash the dishes easily either. The shower was good and very welcome after our bike ride.
We were met with a small flock of turkeys on the verandah and the next morning these had been replaced by two llamas! Photographs were quickly sent round our family and kids would love it.
The BnB is out in the country but just 5 minutes drive away from Cambridge and less than half an hour to the Hobbiton site.
We went on the Riverside Adventures e-bike ride and had a great afternoon beside the Waikato River.
