It was a hot night. Room was warmer than I would choose. Still slept just fine.

Situated in five acres of gardens which are wonderful to walk around. Paul and Anne were great hosts. Breakfast with other guest gave a chance to talk to other guests. Room was clean and tidy.
Room was very hot needed to be opened up to let the heat out.

It had a lovely olde world charm and the gardens were lovely to walk around. Great pool area but it was too cold for us to swim during our stay. The corner double room was really nice.
Our second room had a very small ensuite and the shower difficult to get in and out of. The queen bed mattress was too firm for our liking but the single beds in the room were more comfortable. No guest laundry but Anne allowed us to use her washing machine.

We had such a lovely stay at English Cherry Tree Manor! What a gorgeous property and house. Both Anne and Paul were super lovely and happy to help with any questions. We had to leave a little earlier than they usually do breakfast in the morning, but they were very flexible and organised it for us. Room was great and spacious. We had our own bathroom too.
I don't have anything bad to say - However just wanted to mention that to get upstairs you have to use stairs, there is no lift. So thought it might be something that's helpful to know.

We traveled from hawkes bay for our nanas funeral. We were welcomed with open arms and made to feel at home. The location was perfect and the property was breathtaking. The garden was the perfect place to unwind and our hosts were beautiful. They really made us feel at home. Easy to access the home and rooms, very clean and tidy and the shower pressure is amazing. Definitely recommend!! We will be staying again sometime soon.

The property was beautiful inside and out. Anne was a fabulous host who made us feel so welcome! She got up early to make us breakfast before our Hobbiton tour! Alpacas were cute and we could feed them!

2 story home surrounded by a mini forest, full of beautiful trees, plants, flowers, ponds with goldfish, alpacas. The exquisite views are a extra bonus, breakfast with the host is a great learning for both them and us and a great way to meet others whom had came from the UK and Germany.
Bedroom is filled with antique tea set, bed is sturdy and comfortable as we were a bit skeptical being larger women. The highlight is the super powerful shower that feels like a massage whilst showering, temperature is very hot but all can be adjusted by the adjuster, pull out fully for a super powerful massage shower or push in to soften the pressure of the shower. Has a pool but was too cold to try.
Everyone needs to visit this place to enjoy nature at its best and appreciate the hard work that this family has put in to create a space to relax and enjoy.
Can be in hamilton in 5 mins, so extra bonus being so close.
Search for the street instead of the address otherwise you'll waste time going on a merry go round and get frustrated.

The long driveway to the house give you the impression of a stately manor. It looks very much like an english house in the countryside. The beds were very comfortable and the space heaters worked well once the timer has been programmed. My brother managed to finagle use of the dryer as only the washer was listed. He and the proprietor must have talked for hours about who knows what and he also joined us for breakfast. We only got to see and pet the alpacas on our departure, but my niece thought they were cute. There was plenty of hot water from the shower and the heat lamp and warm towel bar were appreciated too. The reason I chose this location was that it was within easy driving distance of Rotorua, Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glowworm caves. Taupo wasn’t that far away either.
Not a good location of those with limited mobility as all the rooms are up 25 stair steps. The boiler was down for maintenance and thus the common spaces were not well heated.

The breakfast was a communal experience which we enjoyed with other guests and one of our hosts, an accomplished Chinese-American woman. Having traveled to China many times, we found her to be an interesting conversationalist and breakfast companion. Expect to be asked to remove your shoes in the house, as in many parts of Asia!
The house and grounds are beautiful. The perimeter walls are dry stone walls as you might find in the UK. A long driveway bordered by cherry blossoms lead up to the house. In season (September) when the trees bloom, the owners host thousands of visitors and outdoor events in their grounds (Asian singing contests, pony rides etc.) It was out of season, but we were given food we could feed the alpacas with.
The B&B is located within easy reach of Hamilton and area attractions.

Such a gorgeous historic home and so beautifully furnished! We loved feeding the alpacas and wandering through the incredible gardens.
It was a very hot day and there was no air con in our room, which we knew, but there was only one small fan.

Lovely old house and garden down quiet and private rural driveway but so close to Hamilton. Elegant rooms and furnishings. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Had a good chat over continental and cooked breakfast which set us up for the day. Loved feeding the Llamas. Thanks so much.

Beautiful property amidst cherry trees and garden. Comfortable room, excellent shower. Rich breakfast. The host, Anne, joined us for breakfast and we had a great conversation. Then she invited us to feed the alpacas they have, including a cute baby alpaca. This was so lovely and enjoyable, something you do not gorget. If you come with kids they will love it! Highly recommended.
Just to mention: there is no TV in the room (DID NOT bother us).

friendly hosts, good location, lovely old Villa. Great breakfast.
Shower cubicle was a bit small, if you are on the bigger side. But there was plenty of hot water and the pressure was great.

Everything except the initial welcome. Before even greeting us we were simply told to "remove your shoes" and even after I said hello, this statement was simply repeated. On a positive note, this was a young man who was quite friendly the next day, so maybe he was just having a "bad hair day" when we arrived. Not sure!
The garden was superb although it looked slightly unkempt and I think had seen better days. We did see a "For Sale" notice on the property as we were leaving, which probably tells the story.
The initial welcome (as above) Young man was a bit curt and rude I thought. However, his mother (who we met the following day) was wonderful and even he was more friendly then.

Two thumbs up! We spent our 1 year anniversary evening at the English Cherry Tree Manor and had a lovely time. The house and property are absolutely beautiful and Anne and Paul are sweet and hospitable. The best part of the stay was being able to feed and hang out with the alpacas! Hands down the most charming place we have stayed at in New Zealand.

We loved our stay here. Excellent hosts, clean, comfortable and quiet. Very kind people and the pool is fabulous. So glad we could enjoy the pool, but would stay longer next time, so we could really enjoy it longer! Fascinating place and amazing gardens.

Greeted by a stunning driveway and beautiful grounds we knew we were in for a treat when we arrived at our accommodation. Annie welcomed us in and it didn't take long to understand why there are so many good reviews. With our 2 year old in tow we had an absolutely wonderful time as a little family of 3 settling in to cherry tree manor. With so much to explore from the stunning gardens, rock walls, pond, paddocks with friendly alpacas, and a huge swimming pool and spa, we wished we could've stayed longer. Surrounded by so much greenery with a country side feel yet a short 5 minute drive and we were in the city centre of Hamilton on the main street for dinner. Superbly close to the Hamilton Gardens. The location is fantastic and it's clear that Annie and her husband have poured a lot of heart into this place. I'm sure we'll be back again 😊
Only that we couldn't stay longer.

Wonderful breakfast - with hot and cold options and excellent plunger coffee. We met other guests in the large dining room featuring high ceilings and beautiful china.
We would have liked to stay longer! The garden is magnificent and large enough to enjoy a long walk without disturbing the guests who were 'glamping' (glamorous camping).

When traveling sometimes water pressure is an issue. This location had great water pressure and lots of hot water….very nice at the end of the day. Anne and Paul are gracious hosts. The location was central to the locations we planned on visiting. Very enjoyable stay.
