Tucked in behind the Waikato River, away from the hustle and bustle of Cambridge township, I was pleasantly surprised by Villa Shakespeare. Small and dosages of retreat, retreat, retreat. A wonderful space and creative space for writers and fine artists to relax and allow the imagination to bloom. A secret, a magical place for the weary.
We were unable to stay longerđł

We booked three lovely, well appointed rooms in historic old Villa. On a busy road, but up a long drive, so quiet. Plenty of breakfast options. Clean and comfortable with nice touches. April was very friendly and approachable.
Might pay to check some expiry dates on fridge contents, but plenty of breakfast options, so no real issue.

It was a gorgeous stay. My son and I lov3d how clean and tidy everything was. It was peaceful and just gorgeous for us. We felt like we were at a retreat.
We didn't get to spend all our time there as we were in Camvridge for waka ama but it was so good to come back to a clean and peaceful safe place to stay.

Nice central location. Room and facilities to a very high standard.
You have a lovely room for breakfast with very good facilities. Unfortunately on the first morning there was no milk, also the margarine was nearly finished as was the jams - the only disappointment of the stay.

Very quiet and very conveniently located to the town centre. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities were clean and everything you needed - good shower pressure. There was even a wee cabin on the property that could be used to prepare light meals and breakfast.

The Villa Shakespeare is a lovely property. The room was a good size and very comfortable. We especially appreciated the room being left open for us as our plane arrived very late in Auckland. The owners were very easy to contact and we appreciated their assistance in making our check in much easier late at night. Though we literally were only passing through, Cambridge is a lovely little town. Great breakfast at Absolute Coffee House.
The bathroom set up didn't really work for us. There was really nowhere to put our toiletries and the water glass holder on either side of the sink just got in the way. That small space could have been better utilized with a shelf or something to put a few things on for a one night stay. It was dark when we arrived so it was a little difficult to find the property. Our GPS was trying to take us to the street behind. In the daylight I imagine it would have been much easier to see the sign.

Lovely old villa that has been well maintained; charm enhanced by garden with lavender, roses and colourful flowers. Beautiful outdoor seating
There was no microwave in the room to heat food but we later found out there is a kitchen outside with amenities for guests to use.

This property was at the right place for what we were doing in the three days we were there. It was sunny and we enjoyed the outdoor setting and kitchen cottage with the breakfast things that were kindly provided. The host was helpful and kind.

The breakfast was really good. The location was excellent for us. We could walk to the home of our relatives.
The bathroom was terribly small and the wash basin was minute. I found it extremely awkward. I know you probably can't do anything about this as it is a heritage house.

Excellent location for walking into Leamington for great pub, food, supermarket. Also did the river walk from here. Beautiful building & gardens. Clean tidy room. Breakfast cabin was a nice touch.
Bed a bit too soft but that's probably a preference thing.
