    Great location for the rugby tournament I was attending. Room was clean tidy and everything you need. Self serve breakfast was great (eggs on toast). Secure location behind an automatic gate which was great for offstreet parking.

    We would like to see better lighting in the bedroom. It was hard to read or make coffee except during daylight hours, and those are short in the winter. Also would recommend a plunger coffeemaker in the room as instant coffee is not used by Americans, and it was difficult to operate the espresso machine consistently, not being familiar with it.

    Peaceful setting; looking at the animals in the morning; proximity to our daughter, comfortable bed and large bathroom. Appreciated the eggs and toast. The owner was quick to respond and communicated well.

    There was nothing not to like. We all loved our stay.

    Bycroft is a beautifully appointed lodge offering privacy and is a stunning location. It was a whistle stop to attend a function and we had to leave early the next morning so didn't get to enjoy the lovely environment as much as we would have liked. Everything about our rooms was perfectly comfortable and much appreciated. It was a pity we didn't have time to enjoy breakfast. A big thank you to our host, I will definitely recommend Bycroft Lodge and stay again if the opportunity arises.

    There were some interesting parking strategies by guests, we were fortunate we were only dropping off our bags as poor parking had resulted in there not being any more room to park.

    The room was beautiful and quiet and the shower was amazing.

    We loved this properly. It was great location for the airport and it was immersed in countryside fields with cows and alpacas surrounding it. Really relaxing and lovely homely feel. The only issues we found was that our toilet wasn’t working properly for the duration of our stay (1 night) but we did let them know quite late in evening so they wouldn’t have had a chance to fix it until the following day. The only other thing is that the kitchen is outdoors, so there were some what looked like mouse droppings in the cutlery drawer, which was a bit off putting, but bound to happen in an outdoor kitchen and just needed a clean. The fridge was really well stocked as was the kitchen in general. We thought this place was so beautiful and would love to stay again on our next trip to Karaka.

    Lovely room with country views. The room was very comfortable and well serviced. Great stop over for us heading south without the bustle of a big city. There are no food outlets close to property, but only a short run into town to get something.

    Lovely, peaceful location, not too far off the motorway. Instructions for access were emailed and very clear. The challet was spotlessly clean. Lovely comfy bed and big, well appointed bathroom. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would look to book again when next in the area.
