Gary's dinner was superb, and it was a treat to be shown the flourishing garden which had produced the delicious vegetables. Very comfortable bed. The only disappointment was the clouds which obscured the views.

The room was clean, very comfortable, the view spectacular, the food was delicious, and Robert was very helpful and made us feel right at home, Gary got up early to fix us the best breakfast before we headed out! The only negative to the whole experience was that we were not there long enough to relax and enjoy all that Ribbonwood has to offer! ##### BRYON Stayed 1 night in May 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne Jun 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Faultless Fantastic impromptu stay at Ribbonwood.

A very special comfort break in perfect peace. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew&Julie Jun 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfort In Cheviot We were met by Robert a very welcoming who made you feel at home as soon as he said hello. We were taken to our tastefully decorated room which was generous in size with quality beds. We were given free range over more than half of their home which had a great position on a hill overlooking their farm with the snowy ranges in the distance. Waking up refreshed we were treated to a magnificent spread for breakfast including a cooked meal from Gary a professional chef and warm host. Before leaving we were given a tour of their producing gardens and an introduction to there dogs and quick view of the other animals and farm.Thank you Gary and Robert for your hospitality and we have no problem recommending Ribbonwood Country House for a relaxing stay from Andrew and Julie. ##### Andrew&Julie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rod Mar 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice overnight stay - highly recommended for a couple ##### Rod Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Mar 5, 2018 Disliked: Staff & service #### Avoid! Rude staff. Hotels.com made an error allowing us to book with our toddler (the hotel does not accept children), so our booking was cancelled and we were left stranded with no vacancies within 45 minutes (not ideal when pregnant and with a toddler). Our experience with the hotel staff was awful and unjust. Knowing they would not fill our room at such short notice (we booked on the same day), they decided to keep our money as they ‘couldn’t fill the room because it wasn’t cancelled properly’. I understand it was not their error, but any fair human would see that in the overall picture, they provided no service to us and didn’t deserve to keep our money, and would not have filled the room at such short notice. Business before morals and compassion is not somewhere I would choose to stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrin Jan 18, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absoluter Geheimtipp Wunderschön gelegenes B&B mit super herzlichem Empfang durch den Gastgeber. Durch seine jahrelange Hotelerie-Erfahrung fühlt man sich im Ribbonwood Country House sofort wie zu Hause. Das Frühstück lässt keine Wünsche offen und die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und modern eingerichtet. Auf Wunsch bekamen wir das Frühstück bereits um 6 Uhr morgens. ##### Katrin Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lakeview Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Lakeview-Cottage.h37916190.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > - [Tasman Holiday Parks – Beachaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Beach-Hotels-Beachaven-Top-10-Holiday-Park.h9624344.Hotel-Information) > - [Akaroa on the Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Akaroa-Hotels-Akaroa-On-The-Beach-Apartments.h9626017.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Elephant Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-The-White-Elephant-Accommodation.h9624615.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Motueka TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-Motueka-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h7015031.Hotel-Information) > - [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > - [Dusky Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Dusky-Lodge.h13271116.Hotel-Information) > - [Turangi Leisure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Turangi-Leisure-Lodge.h61338998.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blue Pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Methven-Hotels-The-Blue-Pub.h9628177.Hotel-Information) > - [Somersal Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Somersal-Bed-Breakfast.h4528347.Hotel-Information) > - [Te Anau Central Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Central-Backpackers.h84134490.Hotel-Information) > - [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > - [The Reservation B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Gore-Hotels-The-Reservation.h9679423.Hotel-Information) > - [Two Rivers Boutique Lodge Ohakune](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Two-Rivers-Ohakune.h109320695.Hotel-Information) > - [Duvauchelle Seaside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duvauchelle-Hotels-Duvauchelle-Seaside-Motel.h20930343.Hotel-Information) > - [Sundowner Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Greymouth-Hotels-Sundowner-Motel.h19166307.Hotel-Information) > - [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > - [Waitomo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Kuiti-Hotels-Waitomo-Lodge.h72941486.Hotel-Information) > - [Kumiko's Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Waipara-Hotels-Kumikos-Guest-House.h98505532.Hotel-Information) > - [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > - [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > - [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > - [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverside Homestead Waitangi](https://www.expedia.ca/Haruru-Hotels-Riverside-Homestead-Waitangi.h78742745.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information)
