I'm not exaggerating -- this is the best B&B experience of our lives and it's not even a contest.

I want to start this review by saying that the morning we were to leave The Loft, I got the news that my father had passed away. I'm absolutely serious when I say there's no place I'd rather have been to process that horrible news. The magic of this place was a balm for my heart that day. Describing the property as "beautiful" does it no justice. When I first arrived with my wife and her cousin, it was nearly 11pm and dark. The instructions were clear and the property was easy to navigate. We opened the door to find a fresh jar of cookies, snacks, drinks, and a fridge with crackers, cheese, yogurt and much more. These thoughtful snacks were so needed and so appreciated. The room upstairs was *massive* and so comfortable, with a movie playing softly on the TV. We easily got our stuff up the stairs and got to sleep in the comfortable beds quickly. Nothing could've prepared us for the view we were treated to the next morning. Robyn and Fenton are such warm-hearted, absolutely genuine, down-to-earth people, and we liked them immediately. They made it clear that guests are welcome to walk up the hill into their yard to see the view of the Waikato River from the hill they live on, and you should. That view is breathtaking. You can't believe it's possible to live in a place so beautiful. Cannot recommend this place strongly enough, and my sincerest thanks to R&F for their generosity in sharing this beautiful property with the world.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located in the Waikato close to Hobbiton, Waikato River Trails ,Maungatautari Mountain. This is a lovely peaceful property where you can come and just relax. Enjoy the tui's,
native kaka, fantails, and occasional wood pigeons that fly through our property. We also have our own chickens and sheep, one who particularly likes a good pat.
