You will be greeted so warmly. The beautiful views and peaceful surroundings are ideal for a perfect recovery. The owners are so friendly and talkative. Every time we would go there again. The breakfast was also fantastic. The famous Waitomo Caves are by car about half an hour. Very highly recommended. More

Nice B&B with very friendly and accommodating hosts. Our twin room, with a private bathroom but not en suite, was a little eccentric . It was obviously really a sitting room, with a three-piece suite against the wall and a wood stove. There was a sliding door on the room that didn’t stay closed, let alone lock, so if you... More

This was probalby the most reasonably-priced place we stayed. Great view. Charming hosts. They encouraged us to visit the nearby wildlife center & I am glad we did. The glow worm caves, however, were too touristy. More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay her. Margaret and Graham are wonderful hosts. Our bedroom had an en-suite bathroom and a deck with a spectacular view. The house is wonderful, clean and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was always excellent with lots of choices. Our hosts were also very helpful with tips for things to do and also history of the area.... More

Its not called 'Simply the best' for nothing. Friendly, welcoming and clean. Breathtaking views, good breakfast absolutely nothing negative to say. Even Margarets choice of music is spot on! More

My wife and I stayed a night here while seeing the caves in Waitomo. The B&B is only a short drive to the caves. We had a beautiful view of the surrounding farms from the large deck, and we had a wonderful breakfast. Good conversations were had by all, and we enjoyed meeting the two cats as well. More

We enjoyed our one-day stay at Simply the Best a lot! We arrived right before a big event in Te Kuiti and our hosts had some neighbours and their (grand)children gathering at their place. From the first minute we were integrated into the family and spent a memorable evening with coffee, biscuits and wine with the whole family! What a... More
