Homestead B&B Cambridge

Comfortable and clean room with everything you need. Lovely host. Continental breakfast options in the room were plentiful and welcomed! Quiet even though it is right next to the highway. This is a working farm — we enjoyed watching the alpacas munch on the grass and flowers right outside our room. This was a perfect stop for us during the road trip through the north island. About 1 hour northwest of Rotorua and under 2 hours from Auckland.

I loved waking up to see the alpacas outside the window. The place itself was clean and spatious and seems like a great place to get away for a vacation. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer!

It was a relaxing place to stay. The view from the room across the farm land was lovely and it was enjoyable to see the alpacas, sheep and one cow near by.

The facility is simple but pleasant. We enjoyed our stay at the Homestead. The alpacas come right up to you and like to be fed avocado leaves. The hosts are very pleasant and helpful. Our only semi-issue are the mattresses are very firm. Also photos are accurate, great view from room, light breakfast items in room (granola, cereal, milk, toast).

We unfortunately parked our car under a tree, beside a hedge and all the flowers & seeds fell on it. Apart from that - all good.

Didnt like washing food utensils in the bathroom. Otherwise very good value. Thanks. Enjoyed the nosy Alpacas

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 We were met with a small flock of turkeys on the verandah and the next morning these had been replaced by two llamas!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.

It was really refreshing staying out in the country.

We booked a junior suite, and considering the great value, we were not expecting much….how wrong were we! The room was HUGE, and included a huge sofa / sitting area, as well as a massive bathroom, with excellent shower and vanity area. We woke up to llamas sitting on our terrace, such a treat. The BnB is surrounded by beautiful mature fruit trees. Wifi was complimentary and fast. A great stay.
