1) Cambridge is super under-rated. We booked Yvonne's place for just a few days because it was central to Hobbiton, Glow worms, and Rotorua. What we didn't expect was that each time we left Cambridge, we just wanted to get back there! It is a beautiful town with great people and fantastic food. Don't just go there to go to other places. Explore Cambridge and you will be happy that you did.
2) When you go to Cambridge, ABSOLUTELY stay at Yvonne's house. It was exactly as described (maybe even better since she had fresh cut flowers, bread and a few other small seasonal decorations). The house was immaculate, the decor was high-end, the beds were comfortable... everything was perfect. We stayed at a lot of great places during our stay in New Zealand, and Yvonne's was definitely in the running for the best.
3) Yvonne obviously has great taste in decor (just look at the place!), but she also has great taste in restaurants. She recommended a couple of places in Cambridge to go to dinner and a couple of places for breakfast. We were able to make it to all of her recommended spots and they were some of the best meals we ate in New Zealand. Ask her for recommendations, then listen to her. :)
4) Yvonne really makes herself available. She was always quick to respond to emails and she was super easy to work with for check-in and check out.
Seriously, we had an amazing stay in Cambridge and I can't recommend this place enough. :)
