A brilliant & beautiful agricultural location
Excellent - does exactly what it says. It is quite but just off State Highway 2, it is situated in a working farm with socialable hosts. Everything about the property works well.

We had a lovely stay for two nights. It was a wet weekend so we didn't get out to do much walking but what we did see of the farm was gorgeous! It was nice being able to sit on the deck and watch the animals, was my sister's favourite part of our trip. It's an easy place to find and a good space to park your car, we had a Toyota Corolla hatch and even in the rain we didn't find any trouble in the driveway. Hosts were great, they don't bother you at all and are very friendly when you do see them. Beautiful place, lovely time, thank you so much again for letting us stay on your gorgeous farm!

farm life
Real glimpse of a busy, well managed farm. Loved the animal antics, cow with calves confronting busy dog. Loved the log fire. Shower was great. Would like to come again Pity the booking fee was a bit expensive.

This is a great place to get away from the cares of the world. Friendly hosts, a working farm with animals, walks and views but still close to town. Comfy beds, everything you need, highly recommended!

Life on a working farm
A lovely rural setting yet so close to town. Sheep, lambs, kunekune and ten crazy hens right at the doorstep was a delight. Lots of room in the shearer’s quarters with a lovely fifties rustic style kitchen. Friendly hosts made for a great stay.

Handy to township is a tidy property previously shearers quarters on a working farm. Served its purpose for our overnight stay & would stay again. The chooks, dogs & pig were a great part of the experience. The wood fire made the property very welcoming

Clean, warm, tidy, relaxing.
Having a TV to blob in front of would have been the cherry on top. Regardless of no TV, the surrounding area outside was entertaining, inside was good, having the fire going warmed the place up - it was raining. Beds comfortable, awesome shower, relaxing sofa / chairs. Clean, warm and tidy. Thanks.

Great communication with the host from first booking. The place was set amongst farmland and lots of animals. A real treat and perfect place to escape the city. Very well equipped kitchen, great log burner (which was even lit ready for our arrival)and comfy sofa and beds. Would definitely return.
