Independent in Waitoa

"Only about 25 minutes from Hobbiton, which made it a great place to crash after the evening banquet tour. We arrived rather late and it was quite dark. When we woke up in the morning and saw the view we were blown away. Gorgeous spot with comfy beds. "

"Shower pressure was very poor and took a long time to heat up"

"Quiet and good parking. Not to convenient for dining options if you want to walk. Pool and area looked fine but didn't get a chance to use because of the weather."

"Really unimpressed with this property. In need of a deep clean and renovation. Also disappointed in the staff’s interaction with us upon check-in. We had a miscommunication in reserving their private pool, and despite it still being available, would not allow us to reserve it without paying the fee again (thus double paying). Just not the kind of hospitality we were expecting. "

"It’s rare that you run into an innkeeper who thoroughly enjoys hosting the wayward traveler. Glenys is one of those people. Being a Kiwi also is an advantage. Yes the rooms are clean, spacious and inviting but it’s the warmth and welcome that seals the deal for the biker on the Hauraki rail trail "

"We lovedddd this Vrbo! It is exactly what we wanted. It was quiet, clean, comfortable. Each room had a fan, which was so nice cause we all liked it cool. We definitely want to stay again in the future but you’ll definitely want a rental car & not rely on uber (hard to get a car out there)"

"Good off-street parking"

"The room worked well for me and was quite spacious. It had all the kitchen tools I needed and was located in a quite area. The only drawback was the WiFi access was lacking some evenings and the front desk was not particularly helpful. Otherwise I enjoyed the stay."

"Lovely host & beautiful place! Highly recommend "
