Rural Retreat Cambridge is not just a place to stay; it's an extension of our family, and we're excited to share the beauty of Cambridge with you. This fully renovated self-contained unit sits on our family property and isn't attached to our house. A perfect base for local adventures and events that surround Cambridge, or a mid-week stay while traveling for work. We are 10mins from Lake Karapiro. 12mins to Cambridge, 15mins to Te Awamutu, 20mins to Mystery Creek Events Centre. We have a King bed in the bedroom and the couch pulls out into a double bed. Great for 2 kids or 1 adult. We also have a trundler bed that we can also set up if required. As you can see by the photos, this accommodation has been fully renovated on the inside. The outside will be getting a lick of paint over the coming summer months. Our property sits on just over 5000sm, we have room for large vehicles or multiple vehicles and you can park right in front of the accommodation. We have a small orchard behind your bedroom that you are more than welcome to help yourself too when they are in season. The family pool is located on the other side of our house and can be used in the summer months - winter, if you dare! If it is a hot sunny weekend or evening you may be sharing the pool with our children who live in it over the summer months.
Greetings from the Wilson family! We're absolutely delighted to welcome you to our rural haven here in Cambridge, NZ. As your hosts, Tammee and Callum, along with our three lively children – Ruby, Stella, and Blake – and our furry friends Benny and Tiggy, we extend a warm welcome to make you feel right at home.
