About this property
Somerset Studio
A deliberately different, John Henderson designed, slightly quirky B & B in Bethlehem, Tauranga - situated next door too, and run by the owners of Somerset Cottage, a long established restaurant and cookschool.
You are always welcome to join us at the restaurant on one of the nights we're open - Tuesday to Saturday ( bookings tend to be necessary), or we can bring a restaurant meal over to you in the Studio if you'd prefer to dine in private.

About the host
Hosted by Anne Butcher
We build the Studio in 2020, next door to our long established restaurant business, Somerset Cottage, with the idea that it's a natural extension to what we do - providing a special accomodation space to go with our dining and cookschool.
Why they chose this property
Conveniently situated just across the road from Bethlehem Shopping Centre, and right next door to the restaurant, the Studio was designed to take full advantage of the magnificent vista out over a stand of centuries- old native bush. Bethlehem sits equidistance between both stunning hikes up in the Kaimais, and one of NZ's top beaches in the expanse of sand at Mt Maunganui. In between there are a range of locally owned retail and food businesses that we'd be delighted to direct you too. Otherwise we have lots of books and other reading material at the Studio, a very relaxing outlook, and easy off-road walks right on your doorstep.
What makes this property unique
This beautiful, new Studio accomodation for one or two people, is the perfect complement to what's on offer at the restaurant ( dining and cookschools) or equally can be used as a space that's totally private and self contained.
The choice is your's.
