“Wonderful, thanks!”

Resubmission for ID#: 159184814 We are a family of 5 and we stayed for 2 nights at the end of April. It was a lovely place, nicely decorated and cosy with thoughtful items like bottles of drinking water and TVs in our rooms. The bathroom was huge and very luxurious. This was my parent's first time staying at a B&B... More

We stayed here for just one night and had a lovely time. From the welcoming decor and fire in the living area to the thoughtful touches in the bathroom - every detail is perfect. Ann is a wonderful and interesting hostess and Blyth is the Chef extraordinaire with his incredible dinner and breakfast. An evening of great conversation and fabulous... More

Everything about Waiorau Homestead is wonderful! Ann and Blyth are perfect hosts: warm, friendly, good sense of humour, informative, tolerant. Nothing is too much trouble. The house is very tastefully decorated, and each of the bedrooms has lovely furniture and bedding with a very clean, warm en suite. As we stayed as a family group (all adults) we took up... More

Hi Judith and family, thank you so much to all of you for coming to stay with us, you were a great group - lots of fun and certainly lots of laughs! I was only thinking of you yesterday as I walked up to the saddle on the Meg Track myself! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip... More

Driving down the leafy driveway to come upon a beautifully presented stone homestead was just what we were after. Our three night stay was marvellous with a most comfortable room and en suite furnished with beautiful linen, quality touches and our own TV/DVD. Our room looked over the stunning deciduous garden in full autumn colour and we had our own... More

The Homestead is beautifully situated facing north to catch the winter sun and right in the heartland of local ski fields. It's about 1 minute out of the gate... More

My husband and I are in our early 30's and went to Cardrona as a wind down from our action packed week in Queenstown. Like others, I did not know what to expect as I had only seen the town on a map and looked on the website. It's hard for a website to do justice for this experience. The... More

“Dreaming of Cadrona....”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

We didn't know what to expect in booking our stay at Waiorau Homestead -- it seemed like it might be a little out of the way and my husband wasn't too sure about staying in someone's home. Wow -- what an eye opener for us. The place is gorgeous, not just the house but the environs as well. But the... More

From the moment we drove up the gorgeous pine driveway and came upon the homestead surrounded by full autumn colour we knew that the last three days of our holiday would be memorable. Ann's and Blyth's hospitality and attention to detail is exceptional. The furnishings, guest lounge, comfortable bed and stylish bathroom made our stay so enjoyable. A great atmosphere... More
