    all good

    Mable and Danny's villa is very cosy and comfortable, with beautiful gardens and a surprise breakfast that varies every day, the breakfast is very tasty and fancy. recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the best breakfast in Rotorua! They also gave us a lot of fruit they grew themselves when we left!

    Quintessential B&B - quiet, beautiful location, wonderful hosts and superb breakfasts. Danny and Mabel gave great tips for restaurants and exploring the surrounding environs. Their gardens are incredible. Danny is also a virtuoso barista and Mable deserves a Michelin star for her breakfasts!

    Rotorura? Don’t stay in town, instead drive a little and stay at the Country Villa Estates.

    The breakfast was unbelievable! The hosts Danny and Mabel outdid anything I’ve experienced before. After visiting the city of Rotorua, we realized that staying a little out of town was a great choice. Rotorua was a meh city and driving is pretty much required to get to any of the interesting attractions. Better to stay at the Country Villa, in a lovely setting, with a clean comfortable room and charming hosts than to stay in an overpriced hotel smelling of sulfur.

    Danny and Mable are the most welcoming, kind, helpful hosts we have encountered on our trip around New Zealand. The accommodation is superb and breakfasts were awesome. We had a fantastic time and were sorry to move on from this beautiful country paradise.

    Danny and Mabel are incredible hosts. We could not have asked for anything more from them than they offered without reservation. The property is extremely convenient to Rotorua, but you don’t have to deal with the traffic and the crowds. The grounds are lovely and very restful after a long drive or day o sightseeing.
