The facilities were first class . The bed was comfortable , the breakfast , including fresh strawberries and eggs delightful and the location fantastic. We felt like part of the family as the hosts made us very welcome. The location, close to Cambridge, has stunning views of the Waikato River surrounded by a working farm with immaculate gardens. We were treated to a walk at dusk to see Glo-worms alongside the riverbank ...fantastic!

The house is very well located on a quiet country lane, yet is only a short drive from shops and a large supermarket. The location is an excellent base for exploring the Waikato region, including the Waitomo Caves and the Hobbiton Movie Set. The house is very well equipped and provisioned - We were greeted with homemade bread and biscuits, fresh eggs and milk.

The Queen Studio was spacious, spotless and the (new) mattress very comfortable with nice linen. The towels were also very enjoyable & fluffy. We stayed in no.1 which was at the end of the complex and a quiet spot. Very friendly and accurate staff. Awesome location, close to Cambridge and other Waikato highlights.

My hubby had a stay in the Waikato Hospital whilst staying with Penny and Lawrence. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make me feel at home even sharing their dinner with me and taking and fetching me from the Hospital daily. Two very special people. Hope we get the opportunity to revisit there again.

Awa Retreat is an excellent B and B that we would have no hesitation in Recommending. Cathy and Murray are great hosts and provide a very good experience for their guests. The loacation is excellent too, being close to the Waikato River with walks through lovely bush and alongside the waters edge.

Within walking distance of restaurants downtown, short drive to the supermarket. Great facilities meant we could have a meal in the kitchen (family room) and save money on going out. Room was quiet and comfy - great to have the heat pump on those cold Waikato nights.

Arrived and greeted by Jen with a very friendly welcome. Lovely hosts that made us feel at home and beautiful breakfast. Very central waikato rural location with beautiful viewd over farmland and quite. Very comfortable beds and lovely linen.

The bed was very comfortable. Staff was very polite and easy-going. The pancakes on the breakfast are very yummy and eating breakfast on the balcony with a great view of the Waikato River. Highly recommended hotel. Very good value for money.

Super comfy bed! Lovely garden/orchard/bush. Good location to explore the Waikato - on reflection we should have stayed longer and taken day trips. Friendly and helpful hosts. Breakfast included delicious local and homemade treats.

The rooms were very spacious and warm. The beds were very comfortable. The entire Motel was very clean and the staff were really friendly. This motel is great if you have a function on at the University of Waikato.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Took a little a bit of "skill" to get the to work. A bit unskilled techno wise. We were at a conference and was very handy to the venue(Waikato Diocesan School).

We were at a course at the Waikato Hospital which was only a 10 minute walk away and so perfect location. It was a nice size with everything we needed Beds were comfortable and shower was really good!

Very well appointed with all furnishings and appliances of very high quality. The bed and choice of pillows were particularly good. Fantastic view out of the bedroom window of the Waikato river.

The room is great. Comfy bed, just wish they would update the pillows. Staff very welcoming. Unit is clean & tidy. Spa bath is excellent. Will stay again when next in Waikato.

I manage a Waikato touch team who were participating at the NZ Touch nationals and we had a few requirements that needed to be met. BK went above and beyond to meet our needs.

Very clean & comfortable. Very close to Waikato Hospital (a very short walk). The owners & staff were very warm & friendly.
