It is the best place among all that we have stayed in NZ. The place is tastefully decorated with a lovely outdoor area. Ann and Blythe are the great host. The bedroom (with good quality linen) and bathroom are clean and well kept. We will definitely visit this place again. More

This is by far the best place we stayed at in nz. Anne and Blythe are pros. The house is beautifully furnished and the surrounding area is beautiful. Perfect for honeymoon. We ordered three course dinner cooked by Blythe and it was satisfying and generously good value. Would come back here. More

As it was a one week trip, our 3 days was hardly sufficient to really just R&R. Waiorau is beautiful and peaceful, we didn't use all the facilities as it was really cold but loved the company of the hosts, the 2 doggies and 1 cat, discovering the acorn, apple trees and just having a game of lawn bowls was...

Right from the moment we got there Blyth and Ann were perfect hosts, wine, beer and nibbles were delivered whilst sitting in front of the warm fire place, listening to some music. We were there for 5 minutes and booked another night, they were that friendly. The homestead is truly amazing, beautiful views, great facilities. I would recommend having an... More

Owned and run by Ann & Blyth, who were most helpful in every way. Breakfast is delicious, with much to choose from, to meet every taste. If you get a... More

I read tripadvisor before i decide to stay at waiorau. I was very excited because i have never see all excellent comment before. The house was very well designed and comfy. A garden at the back has a stunning view. The lounge and bedroom are what I dreamed for. The best thing is your host. Blyth and Ann are very... More
