    Great house, comfy bed, genial hosts, fabulous breakfast, absolutely 10/10. David and I played a frame of snooker ( he's pretty good - watch out ) and he drove me to the ANZAC service in Paeroa the following morning. Anja is a great host,...

    By far the best B&B I have ever stayed at. The house is old and beautiful with three friendly dogs but not a speck of dust to be found. No strange odours, mold or pests anywhere (which I would have expected of a house with history like this one)....

Anja & David Corbett (and Bowie the dog)
Corbett House's setting is one of tranquility and country charm. This Heritage listed category B home has extensive gardens set in a hectare of lush farmland. This beautiful example of Arts and Crafts style architecture is unique to the area. Immerse yourself in this character home from the early twenties, while still enjoying all the modern conveniences. This extensive property is surrounded by beautiful specimen trees including native Kauri, Rimu and Titoki, with many trees over 95 years old. A charming house, built on two levels has a warm welcome awaiting our guests. The large private section abounds with native birdlife. The totally private back section of the property has a large verandah, where our guests can choose to relax and enjoy the extensive views of the paddocks. You will find our small flock of around 12 Awapawa sheep happily grazing there. Free-range eggs for breakfast. The property has a Cedar Hot Tub, perfect for relaxing soak after a day on the Hauraki Rail Trail. we also have a seasonal swimming pool. We have also recently added a platter option for dinner. Please indicate at the time of booking if you would like this option.
We are very close to the Hauraki Rail trail with easy access to the trail and secure storage for your bikes as well as charging facilities for e-Bikes.
