My husband, 8 year old son and I spent three very comfortable and enjoyable nights in La Maison Noire. It is very tastefully furnished, well-heated and private, despite being joined to another property. The house is extremely well-located and served as an excellent central base for our day trips to Waitomo, Hobbiton, Rotorua and Hamilton Gardens. We ate out in Cambridge on two of our three nights - it was less than 10 minutes’ drive away. We loved the proximity to the lake and the sheep at the end of the driveway. This is a fabulous place to stay - highly recommended. Thank you Zoe.
