Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Luxury, the best bed, beautiful bathroom with a great shower, wonderful breakfast, and the loveliest hosts! Robyn and Vince are fab, entertaining, charming and helpful. I was staying for a few nights for a nearby conference, and loved every moment. The room was superb, ample hanging and storage, really comfortable, with a sliding door opening to a pleasant outside sitting area. This bnb has everything going for it, and I highly recommend it. A mere 10-15 minutes from Cambridge, and the same to the conference venue. You do need a car though! There is no public transport to the location, as the other guests who were going to the same conference found out. Robyn kindly picked them up from Cambridge, and I was able to ferry them around for the rest of the time, as we were all going to the same places.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

A lovely warm welcome from Vince & Robyn, the accommodation is indeed luxurious & has everything needed for a comfortable stay, but it’s the way the hosts make you feel like an honoured guest that is the main point of difference in this lovely home, nothing too much trouble from the moment you arrive, perfect hospitality. Room 10/10, area 10/10, breakfast is served in the host’s dining kitchen overlooking their beautiful garden, home made muesli, yogurt, & jams, fresh fruit & grain or sourdough breads, to eggs cooked your way & freshly made coffee, perfect. We highly recommend this B&B

A fantastic set up for a Bed and Breakfast, the room is well set up and beautifully appointed, wonderful high pressure shower, and a really comfortable bed. Private access so you can come and go as you please. Robyn and Vince are wonderful hosts and breakfast was a great selection so you wouldn't go hungry.

Loved our stay here. The room was super cosy and warm, beautifully appointed, had a comfortable bed, fantastic shower and bathroom with heated flooring and wonderful toiletries. It is very private and in a gorgeous country setting yet super close to see Hobbiton. Robyn was so welcoming, she made the most beautiful healthy delicious breakfast.

We had the pleasure of staying at Karapiro Willows BnB for 4 amazing nights. Not only is the house beautiful but the scenery was stunning.
The rooms had very modern fittings and beautiful bedding. The bathrooms had very nice heated tiles and the shower was amazing! Great water pressure.
Robyn supplied a delicious breakfast with a lovely view and made up our room each day with fresh towels. Free wifi and a smart tv too. I highly recommend staying here. Not far from Cambridge and just over an hour to Rotorua.

We stayed at Karapiro Willows for a week while competing in the Masters Games rowing at Lake Karapiro.

Robyn & Vince's hospitality was amazing. The accommodation was very comfortable and relaxing. It is well located for access to the lake. It is also only short drive to Cambridge which has a some nice restaurants and shops.

Robyn's breakfasts were great. Her help and support to us and our friends who were staying with us for the week of the regatta was exceptional.

Best of all, it was a week that was full of laughter and good conversation with our hosts. It is beautiful place to stay and we highly recommend the Karapiro Willows.
