Kawhia weekend
Monty's BB was an excellent choice for our weekend stay in Kawhia. From the ease of booking to our arrival & departure. Accommodation was very well laid out and had everything we needed. It was a lovely peaceful location with just a quick 10 minute walk into town. We especially enjoyed the outdoor BBQ area.Our host, Monty, recommended some sites to visit & a day ride on the motorbike. We took his advice and had an awesome day out.Would also recommend a visit to the Boat club for a drink & a meal with some great views.

Relaxed tranquility
This accommodation is conveniently located just outside of Kawhia ( a relaxed stroll away). The 2 bedroom unit is nice, clean and quite new. We thought it perfect for a short stay. We appreciated the BBQ outside as well as the screens on some of the doors and windows. Ray gave some friendly advice about nearby

Staying in Kawhia
We have stayed in this property before and will definitely stay there again. Its all you could want in a B&B, all the amenities you are likely to need plus a few. The owners are easy to deal with and lovely people. The area is easy to drive around and get to places well worth seeing. Definitely recommend this property

We really enjoyed our one night. Enjoyed a game of Scrabble outside on a warm evening surrounded by lovely garden fragrances. Great strolling distance from town and while living area is cosy it is more than adequate. Would definitely recommend this little gem to anyone wishing a quiet break away

Spotlessly Clean, comfortable and warm.
We stay here as a family frequently. This is our preferred accommodation in Kawhia and we always book to stay here. We frequently return to Kawhia for funerals and Marae related occasions. It's spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable. You have all you need to cook meals with eating utensils. Washing machine etc available upon request for laundry needs. The shower and bathroom is modern, clean with plenty of hot water. Finally, the owners went out of their way, to return belongings accidentally left behind after checkout. We are very grateful. A wonderful property and wonderful and kind proprietors.
