Maungatautari Cottage | Karapiro Family Cottage, 1 of 3 in a country garden bordering a native reserve

2 Bedroom Cottage in Maungatautari, Cambridge

The Family Cottage is one of three cottages near our character homestead on a family owned, picturesque farm in the heart of rural Karapiro. Each borders an expansive central country garden with Tui and other native birds, and spectacular rural views.
Karapiro Country Cottages are just minutes from the river, cycle trails, nature walks and many of the area’s local attractions and event facilities.
From the moment our guests approach through the tree lined driveway, to when they sit on the deck of their private hilltop cottage overlooking our rolling farm fields, we make sure they feel our hearty welcome.
Our manicured lawns wrapped around a towering Copper Beech tree boast beautiful roses that smell like grandma’s used to, and a thriving country kitchen garden.
Each cottage opens onto the central gardens, making it ideal for groups to share the occasion from their private accommodation.
They all have access to the fully equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with BBQ and dishwasher, and covered entertainment area. Guests can self-cater with fresh vegetables from the garden or enjoy our home-cooked meals prepared with ingredients from the farm. A 3-course evening meal is available on request ($45).
We enjoy showing our guests the local scenery. You can chill out with the native birds and trees, or drink Champagne overlooking the countryside while the sun sets. Our DOC approved pest control programme ensures the neighboring private native reserve remains one of NZ's most spectacular.
Kids have lots to do with plenty of space to run around. And if they want to try gardening, we’d love to teach them the skills.
After years of extending country hospitality we’re experienced at event catering. Our venue is perfect for small functions.
The site is great, and the location is just as good. Karapiro Country Cottages are near all the major attractions and venues. We are literally minutes from the river, Horahora Domain and the Karapiro Rowing Club. The Karapiro section of Waikato Cycle Trail is just across the river and Hobbiton, Maungatautari Mountain, Tirau Village, many historic sites and the regions popular event venues are all close by. It’s only 20 minutes’ drive to Mystery Creek ans the Avantidrome.
Karapiro Family Cottage .........
The largest of our cottages, the Family Cottage is open plan with a kitchenette and dining area, a cosy lounge with flat screen TV, DVD’s and free WIFI. There are three beds , room for a rollaway, and a modern bathroom - Sleeps 5. It’s perfect for a whole family to do their own thing in all weather.
Karapiro Family Cottage is attached to the old homestead but completely private. It allows independence but is handy for popping into the homestead kitchen for home-cooked evening meals. Or you can make an occasion of any meal in the outdoor kitchen, fully equipped for lavish entertaining. (NB: there is an internal door that allows access from the homestead but that is always locked to maintain complete gust privacy)
From a private deck you have views across the farm, and through every window you see mature trees and the manicured country gardens.
