Fodor's Expert Review 8076 B&B

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Country relaxation abounds in this private two-bedroom studio cottage, tucked behind and independent from your hosts Sandy and Jo's home. One room features a queen bed, kitchenette, easy chair and table, the second room has a queen single and single bed, with a spacious bathroom/wetroom, wheelchair accessible, in between. Jo will greet you with fresh baking, and deliver a country-style breakfast with home-made breads, croissants, and muesli, and fruit and jams from the (spray-free) orchard out the back and honey from her own bee hives. Parking space includes a lock-up garage for motorbikes, while for pedalling bikers, the Hauraki Rail Trail is 200 meters away.
