We can’t say enough good things about this villa. From the warm welcome the host gave us, to the beautiful room, scenic views, and charming home, to the snacks provided, everything was excellent. The breakfasts were superb, perhaps the best food of our entire trip. Most importantly, Kay was extremely generous with her knowledge of the area and very helpful in getting us around. Staying here was definitely one of the highlights of our trip, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Nothing else to add.

The house feels like a treasure trove, with beautiful art collections throughout, and the owner is extremely hospitable and kind, even offering a ride to town.

We spent two nights at Maungakawa Villa and fell in love with its old‑world charm and lush gardens; Kaye welcomed us with a bottle of French rose and tasty cheeses after our long drive, and the poached eggs at breakfast were perfect. The villa is ideal for exploring Cambridge and Lake Karapiro, and we also enjoyed the relaxing spa pool. The Tui painting in our room added a special touch. We wish we had stayed longer.

The stay was absolutely stunning: the hot tub was brilliant, the room superb, and the views unreal. The gardens are beautiful and the whole place is tastefully done. From the moment we arrived the welcome was warm and genuine; Kaye is a superb host with a great personality, incredibly helpful, and made us feel completely at home. Breakfast was outstanding and set us up perfectly for the day. You get what you pay for and this was worth every cent. We will definitely stay again and bring our friends next time.
