Situated in the mountains, this bed & breakfast is 0.2 mi (0.3 km) from Waikato River and within 3 miles (5 km) of Lake Karapiro and Cambridge Museum. Jubilee Gardens and Te Koutu Lake are also within 3 miles (5 km).
The homestay was a great rural location near to my friends, easy access from the main highway, clean and spacious. The Llamas were an added attraction.
We had only one rainy night here, coming from Rotorua and enjoyed sitting on the sheltered veranda smelling gras, not sulfur! :)
It is a simple home that is nice for people that like animals. Who can resist, looking into the big, gentle eyes of a lama, when opening the curtains? We cannot.
Whatching the lamas, rabbit and turkeys during breakfast was much better than morning TV
Lovely room with good pressure in shower. Very clean. Only downside is trying to find it at night as it is off a main highway with no lights.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Friendly helpful host and convenient location
We had expected the 2 bedroom, bathroom and kitchen but instead had 2 rooms in the farmhouse which had 4 rooms for guests and 1 for his sons whom were helpful and friendly. Yakin provides a continental breakfast in a communal sitting/dining room and was always happy to help when we needed to borrow things. We were lucky as usually we were the only guests as there is only 1 bathroom in the farmhouse.

Not a "Bach" but a home with rooms to let.
My boy is a Tri Athlete /Cyclist.
I like to book a "Bach" as it is quiet, private and I can prepare a special athlete diet.
This was not a Bach but a big old house with lots off rooms and one bathroom to share between all guests.
Also it was cold and damp, but here was heaters and electric blankets and it was clean and tidy.
The owners was friendly.
It had a breakfast of cereals and coffee but at best should be called a Backpackers where you cant prepare food.
I expected a Bach on a farm with double beds as advertised not only a room with two single beds in a old house full of other people coming and going at all times.
