Due to a big booking in school itself, we were placed in the cottage...5 beds for 3 of us with a kitchen fully stocked for all our breakfast needs!! Perfect hosts and great location...didn't get to check out spa pool though as fatigue got to us 1st! Highly recommended!

Lauder School House B&B is a perfect example of wonderful small town New Zealand. Such a relaxed place, welcoming people and beautiful location. Bruce and Esme were always on hand to answer queries and chat. The buildings are well decorated and themed. Fab lounge area where bikers all spent time talking and reading and watching TV. Had our best meal... More

A great place to stay and feel welcomed if you are in the Lauder area! We were warmly welcomed by Bruce, warm showers and super tasty cookies. We stayed in the detention shed and it gave us a great nights sleep before a bid day riding. We had dinner at the Lauder hotel, the food was great and it was... More

The cottage was incredibly clean and very well appointed. We... More

A great place to rest up in readiness for new year celebrations. Bright, airy, clean and welcoming. Memories of school days flood back with premises that have been faithfully and carefully restored. Anyone interested in local history will find a bonus in the photos and stories (in books and from the hosts Esme and Bruce)

Stayed in the converted old school "detention shed" a 2 bedroom with small kitchenette and bathroom. Well set up with comfortable beds. However because it is a converted old building you have to go through one of the bedrooms to get to the bathroom & kitchen - or you can go via the two outside doors - but still enjoyed... More

New Year's Eve stopover whilst biking the Central Otago Rail Trail. Enjoyed wonderful hospitality from Bruce and Esme. Our twin room had adjoining toilet and shower which was a bonus. The main school room was a comfortable place to chat and relax.
