Huntington Stables Retreat Accommodation — Hotel in North Island

Searching on the web for accommodation in the Hamilton area we came across the Huntington Stables Retreat in Cambridge and booked ourselves in. And what a pleasant stay it was. No; that doesn’t do it justice. It was an awesome stay.||Robyn welcomed us in person on arrival and brought us to our accommodation, a well-appointed unit with all required comforts and fully-equipped kitchen. Strikingly designed crockery is a feature. The stock of breakfast provisions (and very generous they were, too) was pointed out, as were the compost and recyclable bins (Robyn and Andy are clearly conscientious in this regard). A shelf of books was there with an exchange option; a TV and a sound system were tucked away in cupboards. The requested roll-away bed had been set up (there were three of us in our party); towels and wraparounds were available for those using the pool, spa or sauna – amenities much valued after a tiring day.||From the deck, views of gentle open countryside are there to enjoy; the surrounding gardens and their myriad nooks and corners make for interesting places to sit and take time out – and take in the presence of abundant bird life that makes the Retreat their home. And for those interested in wildlife, ask Robyn to show you the aviary, housing a variety of birds, some rescued and awaiting a new home.||I would highly recommend the Huntington Stables Retreat as a place to stay. We have delightful memories of our weekend...

You simply cannot find a more well thought out retreat. No children, beautiful surroundings, only the sound of birdsong and each guest area is separate so there is privacy. The host is friendly and ensures your continental breakfast has a variety of homemade jams, fresh bread to toast, yoghurt and fresh fruit. Home made cookies as an extra, even a couple of chocolates in the fridge! |The bed is so comfortable, with beautiful Manchester throughout, this even runs to a towelling gown to use and spa towels for the pool and spa. |We love this place and always choose to stay here whenever we can. It is a few minutes drive from the town with a lovely Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning, vibrant cafes and restaurants, and specialist shops. Lovely parks, walks and surrounding...

Lovely place to stay, super quiet and private. Location was perfect for venturing to places in the area, Hobiton, hikes, Cambridge, etc.

We stayed in The Loft, which was spacious, clean and well-equipped. We were so pleased by the provisions (specifically the lemon curd - yum!) for breakfast, which was enjoyed on the balcony with beautiful views overlooking the valley.

The spa and pool area was an added bonus. We weren't brave enough to enjoy the pool as the weather was a tad chilly, but the spa was bliss.

Thanks for having us Robyn and Andy, and thank you for going the extra mile and forwarding a speaker we left behind. Very much...
