Awatea Country Bed & Breakfast

This was the most memorable stay during my 9-day trip to New Zealand. The host is a farmer who raises all sorts of animals. When we arrived in the afternoon, he warmly welcomed us. Considering that we might be afraid of his two very adorable dogs, he thoughtfully locked them inside the house first and only let them out after asking us. Knowing that we had to leave at 7:00 in the morning the next day, he took us to feed the animals in the afternoon as an unexpected treat. What touched us deeply was that we were the only guests that day, and the grandfather still got up early to prepare a very lavish breakfast for us. When he noticed that we were almost full, he kindly reminded us not to eat too much before going out to sea, which was very moving. The room was super clean, fully equipped with tissues, an electric blanket, and an oil heater. Opening the glass door in the room leads to a bright balcony, which is really amazing. Lastly, I wish the grandfather and his entire family good health and happiness.

Lovely property in beautiful location between beach and mountains. Easy drive into the town. Kevin, our host, provided delicious cooked breakfasts and was very entertaining with a great sense of humour. Our room and bathroom were spacious and had a lovely sitting area outside. We loved Kevin’s dogs and pigs.

What a gem of a find. Very clean and amazingly comfortable beds. Breakfast was second to none. Very friendly host. We only stayed for a night as travelling through but would have an extra night or two if we'd known how nice a stay this would be. Thank you

This was a magnificent place to just rest and relax for a night. The host was super attentive without being invasive. I loved the menagerie of animals and the mobility facilities were excellent to use. Loo a bit low so take a booster seat. Shower was easy to enter/ exit as was the unit. Thanks.

Awesome property to relax. Facilities were great. Just comfort of the bed the only thing causing overall rating to drop. Bed probably fine for one person but not great for two as it ended up on a lean and base was a bit wobbly.

Excellent stay Absolutely brilliant stay it could not have been bettered. Great hosts who could not have done any more for us, comfortably bed and amazing breakfast.
