Traditional Victorian homestead located in a tranquil, rural setting, in the lush Waikato region. Three exquisitely renovated rooms, each with its own en-suite. A truly peaceful retreat.
Located in a tranquil rural setting in the lush Waikato region of New Zealand, the beautifully renovated Foxgloves Bed and Breakfast is an escape to the country. This traditional Victorian homestead, surrounded by rolling farmlands, takes you back to a bygone era where time stands still and you wake to the sound of bird song, farm animals and the smell of a good country style breakfast. Tony, your host and co-owner of Foxgloves has a reputation and passion for cooking up a storm.
Do you fancy breakfast on the verandah with freshly squeezed orange juice? Perhaps free range eggs, local Pokeno bacon, home baked bread and a strong brew of coffee?
Foxgloves is an hour from Auckland Airport by car, offering an easy weekend escape for those seeking a respite of peace and tranquillity or to nourish and replenish the soul. A hot tub and stars beyond the city lights -- perfect for a romantic getaway.
With many outdoor activities available nearby, including walks, hiking, beaches, markets and cafes (refer to our Activities section), Foxgloves is the perfect vacation stopover or base for a longer stay.
