Marcus Tatton – Return to Aotearoa

Set on 5 acres, Hadleigh is accessed down a rural lane, the tranquil setting belies its proximity to Hamilton city’s, renowned gardens and busy night life. The quaint settlement of Cambridge is close by. We were particularly drawn to the areas natural beauty, as was Peter Jackson when he chose to film his magical Hobbits here. However, it was the mighty Waikato river, woodland walks and verdant fields, home to New Zealand’s pre-eminent thoroughbred horse industry that drew us in. Following the devastating 2011 ‘quakes, we missed hosting and felt that this new ‘Hadleigh’ was really quite superb, a place we would be proud to share with our guests.

We can offer affordable accommodation with great indoor and outdoor facilities. Each room has magnificent views to the surrounding rolling hills and farmland. All areas are on ground level and easy accessible. Private secure car parking. Children are welcome there is plenty of space to run around and play. Delicious home cooked meals are available prior arrangement using organic grown products from our garden. Naturally our food is sourced locally wherever possible. DHomestay Bed and Breakfast has the perfect location to break your journey or for a weekend retreat to relax and enjoy the peaceful quiet environment away from the busy life in the city. It is important for us to take care of our guests in the best possible way.

The original homestead was known in the area for the beautiful cottage gardens and specimen trees. There are some beautiful examples of a hundred plus year old Kauri, Copper beech and magnificent magnolia trees which the tui love to visit.
