This was just what we hoped for, comfortable bed, quiet area and easy to relax and cater for ourselves. Penryn was a good host and supplied breakfast foods for us, it’s exactly as described. Local shops/supermarket are very easy to get to. The Karangahake Gorge walks were fantastic and only ten minutes drive away, or catch the train from town. Waihi Beach is a nice alternative if the weather is as hot as we had! We also did the Gold mine rim walk but we were a little disappointed by it. Would certainly recommend a stay here.
