Absolutely Grand!

Our visit to Cambridge was everything we hoped it would be. The house was very comfortable, the private backyard was great. We walked to downtown restaurants and the park across the street. The location made it easy to visit nearby attractions. Our host made several excellent suggestions about places to eat and visit. We could not be more pleased!

Comfortable character home in a great location

This cottage is warm, comfortable and very well equipped. It has everything you could possibly need. It has to be the best location in Cambridge - close to Lake Te Koo Utu and just a few minutes walk from cafes and restaurants. A well fenced back garden provides a safe, private area to relax and enjoy the bird song.

A Beautiful Cottage.

The cottage is in a superb location with the Botanical Gardens and lake just across the road. It is very close to town and there is a very good Four Square shop just a short walk away. The cottage is very well equipped with all the mod cons and a lot of extras. Cambridge with it's very interesting history is one of our favourite places in New Zealand. Would highly recommend this property.

This is an extremely comfortable home in a convenient location! Vicki was a great host, leaving milk and bikkies in the fridge, and she arranged for the garage to be open for us as the weather was just dreadful when we arrived. The house has all the amenities required for short or long stay. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, and there was great water pressure & water temp in the showers. The house is showing signs of wear and tear but it didn’t detract from the cleanliness and comfortability of our stay. Thank you so much for having us!

Great house

This is fabulous place to stay when in Cambridge. The location is an easy walk to town and all the cafes along the high street. The house is well set up, with everything that you need. The kitchen is well equipped and brilliant for this time of year is the BBQ. Having access to the double garage was an unexpected bonus. And finally, all communication was quick, friendly and clear.
