Beautifully decorated and comfortable. The most enormous breakfast I have ever had put in front of me.
Needs some lighting from car park to room. Grounds need mowing and pruning.
Amazing and wonderful, everything more lovely than expected. Best place we stayed at in NZ with a charming host. Sating at Ling's place is everything you ever want!
Close to airport and for heading south. Lovely wonderful owner and great country out look. Nice bedroom. Will stay again :)
Curtains dirty, no light in wardrobe or out side lighting when coming in at night. Hearing the a joining guests to clearly. No instructions how to use TV Very very small shower
beautiful views with Alpacas and Ponys, peaceful and very pleasant.
Very lovely people and a lovely peaceful place to stay, thoroughly enjoyed it
Great comfort & huge nice breakfast
A little bit of background road noise is only complaint.
Excellent communication, very comfortable with a more than adequate breakfast delivered to your door! Easy to find and a perfect location for business around Karaka. The host was welcoming and friendly.
Beautiful location, but a little traffic noise at peak times Nicely decorated and very comfortable Great breakfast
Beautiful and serene country side in Karaka and Laine was an excellent hostess. Breakfast was wonderful and the apartment was warm and very comfortable, I would recommend Bycroft B and B as a place to stay as it is very peaceful!
A great breakfast
Place needs a good clean - hasn't been dusted for ages, windows, had cobwebs, bathroom needs a scrub. Very disappointed with these aspects
The bed and pillows. The shower was mouldy.
The location, unit, the breakfasts, the rural views and the alpacas in the paddock outside the bedroom window. The owners were genuinely friendly and made us feel we were very welcome, nothing seemed too much trouble. The generous breakfasts left us with very little needed to eat at lunch time. We had a well filled fuel tanks in our stomachs that kept us going during a very busy Morning. We would recommend this venue for anyone wanting a romantic weekend getaway.
The cupboard the fridge was in could not be properly closed, and noticed a few cobwebs around the bedroom that could have been removed before we arrived.
Warm greeting on arrival from our host Ling. Room and food was as we expected from a previous visit. Although Ling new to B and B business she is/was a wonderful host.
Some upkeep required in the bathroom to keep it fresh.
Peace & quiet. Closer to the motorway than we expected and so not hard to find.
It was convenient for our requirements. The bed was comfortable with good sheets. Breakfast was adequate.
The property needs a great amount of maintenance inside and out. Insect screens are a must and to be able to pay with a card not cash.
Loved the elegance of the room, very nicely decorated, the modern but stylish look. Loved the provision of tea and coffee and the breakfast was beautiful. We enjoyed using the spa and the pool looked very inviting, but it was a little cool for us! The quiet location and the lovely friendly staff topped it all off!.
SKY TV would've been a plus for us, and we just needed to stay longer!!!!
Its a fantastic place. We certainly enjoyed celebrating our wedding anniversary at Bycroft Lodge. We would certainly stay again.
Friendly, welcoming and warm. Clean and tidy. Great location, beautiful surroundings. I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the sun by the pool.
The perfect location, it is in the middle of the countryside. We experienced a very warm welcome, Very friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was OK. Therefore it is such a pity that I have to mention the things we didn't like.
The bathroom was not as clean as it should be: spider webs on the ceiling. The rug in bed-/living room was not properly vacuumed. Every now and then the wifi shut down. You had to reset it in the other B&B room nextdoor (under the same roof).
it was very good , but would have liked to have paid in plastic rather than in cash?
Breakfast on the veranda. Outlook over alpaca field Peaceful although the adjoining unit was unoccupied so may not be so quiet if it was occupied.
Mouldy shower cubicle. Insects in the room with no fly screens Cobwebs in room with dead insects in
The setting was lovely. Close to main roads yet peaceful. Breakfast on the veranda was lovely.
The junction onto the main road from the road the B&B was on was very dangerous. It was very warm when we were there and there was no air conditioning , in itself not a problem but being in the middle of fields when the windows were opened at night the wildlife came in! I found a squashed long legs in my kindle the next morning! Also they don't have EFTPOS and you require to pay cash which we didn't know until we got there.
Breakfast was wonderful. The view is great.
Remote location Hard to find Too far to go out for a meal when tired Charged for 2 people even though only 1 (and only 1 breakfast of course)
A fantastic place to just relax. Not too far from Auckland and a great place to recover from the flight and get into holiday mood. Lovely people and an idyllic setting.

OTTAWA ÔÇö Offense, defense and special teams.
You name it, Wapak owned it.
The Wapakoneta Redskins made big plays on all three as they pulled away to an emphatic 35-14 win over the state-ranked Ottawa-Glandorf Titans on Friday at Titan Stadium.
With the exception of a five-minute span in the second quarter, this one was all Redskins.
ÔÇťI was just so proud of our kids tonight,ÔÇŁ Wapak coach Doug Frye said. ÔÇťIÔÇÖm proud to be their coach and I was proud of their effort.ÔÇŁ
Wapak remained unbeaten on the season at 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the Western Buckeye League.
O-G, ranked No. 10 in the state in Division IV, fell to 4-2 and 3-2.
A pair of second-quarter momentum swings ended up being the turning point in the game.
The Redskins built an early 14-0 lead on two long scoring drives as the defense held O-G to three-and-out on its first three possessions.
But then O-G junior running back Tristan Parker broke free for a 50-yard touchdown run. The PAT went wide right but WapakÔÇÖs lead was cut to 14-6.
ÔÇťIt was a bad play on my part,ÔÇŁ senior defensive back Connor Metz said. ÔÇťI got sucked inside and he popped it out on us.ÔÇŁ
Cue Josh Carder.
The junior subbed in for senior Kevin Kraft on the ensuing kickoff and raced 73 yards for a touchdown. Carder outran O-G freshman Blake Blevins, who tried to trip him up, and dove into the end zone.
ÔÇťThat was great,ÔÇŁ senior nose guard Jim Knippen said. ÔÇťOur defense was kind of down coming off that touchdown. It just brought us right back up.ÔÇŁ
Bailey Hinegardner connected on his third of five PATÔÇÖs on the night to make it 21-6.
But O-G wasnÔÇÖt quite finished yet. The Titans marched 75 yards on the next possession and drew within a touchdown, 21-14, on a 24-yard touchdown pass from junior Caleb Siefker to junior Jacob Leopold. Siefker then connected with Craig Rieman for the two-point conversion.
On WapakÔÇÖs next play from scrimmage, senior running back Connor Pickens fumbled the ball and O-G recovered near midfield with 2:18 left in the half.
The Titans picked up a couple first downs before Wapak linebackers Zach Schmerge and Brendan Wilson stuffed Siefker on a fourth down at the Redskins 19.
ÔÇťI love those guys,ÔÇŁ Pickens said.
Said senior linebacker Josh Hartman, ÔÇťIt puts the pressure on us. But thatÔÇÖs what we like. If something happens on the offense, we like bringing us back.ÔÇŁ
O-G gained 172 yards of offense in the final seven minutes of the second quarter and just 134 over the other 41 minutes of the contest.
ÔÇťAll season our defense has bent but not broken,ÔÇŁ Metz said. ÔÇťWe stiffened up when we needed to.ÔÇŁ
Wapak held the Titans to three-and-out on three possessions and made stops on fourth down three times.
ÔÇťI thought in the first half we were really just on the verge of putting the game away,ÔÇŁ Frye said. ÔÇťI felt we had control at the half. It just didnÔÇÖt show on the scoreboard.ÔÇŁ
Pickens rushed for a Pickens-esque 175 yards on 26 carries (6.7 per carry) and three touchdowns, with the fumble the only blemish on another outstanding performance.
As has been the case all year, the Redskins offensive line wore down the O-G defensive front as the game progressed.
ÔÇťThey were driving guys six and seven yards up the field,ÔÇŁ Pickens said.
WapakÔÇÖs four scoring drives measured 15 plays, 90 yards; six plays, 70 yards; nine plays, 97 yards; and 14 plays, 62 yards.
ÔÇťThatÔÇÖs the first time IÔÇÖve really seen that this year, out of this team, on a consistent basis,ÔÇŁ Frye said.
The passing game was turning heads too.
Junior quarterback Kyle Gibson had his best game of the season, completing 4 of 7 attempts for 100 yards ÔÇö all in the first half ÔÇö and no interceptions.
Gibson completed a pair of long passes to his tight ends. Junior Brandon Christler had a 43-yard catch. And Gibson found senior Nic Sawmiller for a 36-yard pickup to set up a 16-yard touchdown run by senior Kevin Kraft.
ÔÇťKyle Gibson is overshadowed by all the great quarterbacks in this league,ÔÇŁ Frye said. ÔÇťIÔÇÖll take Kyle. HeÔÇÖs a great kid and does a tremendous job.ÔÇŁ
Perhaps WapakÔÇÖs most impressive drive was its first of the second half.
After an O-G punt pinned the Redskins at their own 3, Wapak went to work.
Pickens carried the ball six times ÔÇö the big one a 64-yarder down the left side line ÔÇö in the nine-play drive and punched it in from three yards out to put Wapak up 28-14 with 1:58 left in the quarter.
ÔÇťI donÔÇÖt think there is any doubt they won the line of scrimmage tonight,ÔÇŁ O-G coach Ken Schriner said. ÔÇťAnd Pickens is a load, trying to bring him down.
ÔÇťHeÔÇÖs running through tackles and when you think youÔÇÖve got him stopped, youÔÇÖve got guys in the right position, next thing you know heÔÇÖs carrying for four or five yards.ÔÇŁ
O-GÔÇÖs Parker finished the night with 158 yards on 18 carries (8.8 per carry) with one touchdown.
Siefker was 5-for-12 passing for 50 yards.

USDA's Drought Efforts Help Farm Families
As drought continues to affect most of the country, our thoughts and prayers are with the thousands of farm families who have been affected by this disaster.
President Obama has called the U.S. Government's approach to drought assistance an "all-hands-on-deck effort," and he has directed USDA and other Federal agencies to find additional ways to help those impacted by drought. To date, USDA has taken a wide variety of administrative action that I want to be sure Mississippi farmers and ranchers know about.

Recyclers Association
hosts Metal Theft Training for
Georgia Law Enforcement
The Georgia Recyclers Association organized and hosted a very successful Metal Theft Training for Georgia Law Enforcement on October 29th at the Georgia Electrical Cooperative Training Center in Monroe County near Forsyth. Over 70 members of law enforcement from across Georgia and 20 other attendees, including members of the Georgia General Assembly, the media and critical stakeholders participated in the 4 hour training session and lunch. Attendees heard from several presenters from across the state with the overall message from Sheriffs, Atlanta Police, and the Attorney General's office that the current law was working and that crime was down across the state and that it couldn't have been accomplished without the help and support of the recyclers. The training was also promoted by the Georgia Sheriff's Association and Georgia Chiefs of Police Association.
Frank Goulding, Vice President of Marketing of Newell Recycling in East Point served as the session moderator. After Goulding's opening remarks, the group was welcomed by the host of the event, Tom Parker, Vice President of External Affairs of Georgia Transmission Corporation. Georgia Transmission along with their sister companies, Oglethorpe Power and Georgia EMC were kind enough to allow the GRA to use their beautiful training center for the event. Parker spoke briefly on the rural electrical cooperatives commitment to the reduction of metal theft for many years in Georgia. Read more ....

Statement from UW Health
Officials at UW Hospital and Clinics have notified the state board of nursing, the Drug Enforcement Administration and UW-Madison police of evidence that a nurse formerly employed at the hospital was diverting painkillers for personal use.
The nurse's employment at UWHC ended on April 28. The nurse had previously been placed on administrative leave. She worked in the hospital's post-anesthesia care unit.
Hospital staff found evidence of possible diversion through a combination of regular audits and surveillance that are part of the hospital's narcotic-control system. The medications in question are morphine and hydromorphone in large syringes that were to be used in patient-controlled analgesia (in which patients can administer pain-killing drugs as needed by pushing a button). The hospital's investigation revealed that 42 such syringes were diverted by the nurse. As the investigation began, the hospital pulled all inventory of the syringes and intensified scrutiny of the process for compounding, transporting and stocking these medications.
There have been no reports or suggestions of impaired behavior by the former nurse. Nonetheless, UW Hospital takes such behavior very seriously and affirms that it calls for serious consequences to be determined by regulatory agencies and by the legal system.
UPDATED Friday, June 13, 2014 -- 10:00 p.m.
31-year-old Stefanie Jones was a nurse at UW Hospital's post-anesthesia unit -- they word here -- "was".
"She was arrested and taken in to custody on Thursday," said UW-Madison Police spokesperson Marc Lovicott.
"She is taking these pain killers and she's replacing them with nothing... with no pain medication whatsoever," he explained.
Jones allegedly switched out what was meant to be morphine and hydromorphone with water and other basic fluid.
"We were able to identify at least 42 different times in which this individual did this... and that's 42 patients that didn't get the medication they needed for whatever reason they were in the hospital for," Lovicott said.
He says when she was questioned, she didn't deny a thing.
"She admitted to doing this... she admitted to taking the drugs since October of last year."
Jones now no longer works at the hospital.
A statement from UW Hospitals and Clinics confirms her last day was April 28, and that the hospital "takes such behavior very seriously and affirms that it calls for serious consequences."
Pharmacist Sandra Hoel told NBC15 that morphine is a big deal.
"Morphine is a strong narcotic, it's basically in the same family with other pain medications that people, however it's on the strong end," she said.
It's typically used in hospitals or with people who have chronic severe pain.
Although it's unclear if Jones had a problem with addiction, Hoel said it's a possibility.
"Any health professional, any one who comes in contact with the drugs and has a tendency towards addiction and has other things going on may become addicted."
UW did not know how many patients were effected by the missing drugs.
They are now involving the DEA and the state's board of nursing.
UPDATED Friday, June 13, 2014 --- 3:11 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A former nurse at UW Hospital is accused of stealing morphine syringes for herself.
Investigators for the UW-Madison Police Department concluded the 31-year-old woman had diverted 42 syringes containing morphine or another painkiller.
Hospital officials contacted campus police in March about an internal investigation of a nurse suspected of stealing pain-management drugs intended for patients.
Investigators determined the nurse was taking morphine syringes from a secured machine and replacing them with syringes containing water. A pharmacy technician noticed tamper-evidence caps on the drug syringes had been tampered with.
Police say it's unclear how many patients may have been affected. The nurse is no longer employed by UW Hospital.
She was arrested Thursday. The Dane County district attorney's office says the suspect was released from jail pending formal charges.

Posted Friday, June 13, 2014 --- 1:00 p.m.
A former UW Hospital nurse is suspected of stealing morphine intended for patients.
According to UW-Madison Police, 31-year-old Stefanie Jones of Cottage Grove had been diverting drugs from patients in at least 42 different instances. A police and hospital investigation revealed Jones had been getting morphine syringes from a secured machine and replacing them with syringes that contained water or another unknown liquid. She allegedly took the morphine syringes for herself.
Hospital staff became aware of the issue when a pharmacy technician noticed that red tamper-evidence caps on the syringes had been tampered with.
Jones reportedly admitted to hospital staff that she was doing this and taking the drugs for herself, and that she had been doing this since October of 2013. She is no longer employed by UW Hospital.
UW-Madison Police investigators say Jones diverted 42 morphine and hydromorphone syringes for herself, but it is unclear how many patients were affected by her alleged actions. Investigators say Jones recklessly endangered the lives of patients, since drugs meant for their care and pain management were replaced with water or the unknown liquid.
Police arrested Jones on Thursday. She will be charged with 42 felony counts of diversion of drugs and 42 counts of reckless injury.

KENTWOOD, Mich. (AP) -- A relative says some of the last words from a 9-year-old boy who died after being stabbed on a Michigan playground were about how much he loved his family.
The Grand Rapids Press reports that Jim Stearns spoke for Michael Connor Verkerke's family at a vigil Wednesday night at the site of the attack, for which a 12-year-old is charged with murder.
Stearns said the 9-year-old told his brother after he was stabbed that he would always love him. Stearns told those gathered for the vigil at the Pinebrook Village mobile home park that the boy's death has left the family "absolutely numb."
The 12-year-old boy pleaded not guilty in juvenile court and was ordered held until an Aug. 13 preliminary hearing. The Associated Press is not naming him.
