Everything was amazing! Carolyn was incredibly friendly and kind, super helpful and was always quick to respond to any questions. The home itself was fantastic - charming, cosy, and functional with exceptional views (from so many rooms!). The property gardens were beautiful and the outdoor areas were absolutely perfect - there was lots of rain/wind on the days we were there but the outdoor areas were so great it didn't hinder our stay at all! (Well protected from elements, stunning views and comfy chairs!) Fireplace was amazing and Carolyn provided plenty of firewood for us. Great location as well- only 15mins from the waitomo caves/restaurants etc. yet we still had beautiful privacy up in the mountains! Overall we loved every part! Location, views, charm, and super comfy beds!! Great stay for couples, friends, families, holidays and little getaways! Carolyn was an exceptional host and the home was fantastic - we will definitely be back!

On first glance it looks old and run down but the owner was very helpful with things to not kiss and inside they were brilliant.

It was clean, dry and warm. I arrived late at night in the rain and the young man who I met at the office was an exceptional host. I had a nice sleep listening to the rain and woke up early in the morning to sound typical on a NZ farm - magpies and bleating lambs. It was really lovely.

So peaceful. I've always liked city life but maybe living on a farm is the way to go! Loved all the animals and watching the cows from my bed. Good bed and the cabin was cosy.

I loved my stay at this gorgeous, well maintained farm. As you drive in you can feel the love for detail that went into every corner. The older gentlemen gave me a hearty welcome. The room and the bed was comfy. (in particular the super cozy woolen blankets made we wanna stay in bed the morning). Communal shower&toilet was in camping style but clean. Wifi worked like a charme. The cabins don't have electricity, so lighting ain't the greatest, and the one charging point in the communal area is switched off after 10 pm. So I struggled a bit with working on my laptop and keeping my phone charged. But that's a minor thing. Here you really just want to sit on the little porches and sip a cold beer to wind down while watching sheep, ducks and stunning sunsets. ♥️

If I could give 11/10, I would! This cottage was so comfortable and Paula had literally thought of everything. You could tell so much thought and care had gone into everything which was greatly appreciated. The hosts were super friendly (but gave us total privacy at the same time). The location was perfect for visiting the glow worm caves as it was only a short drive away. Would 100% recommend staying here!

Very comfortable bed, welcoming hosts, nice views over the countryside, loved the spa. Really enjoyed sitting outside for breakfast with bird song in the bush next to the room. Simple breakfast supplies of cereal, toast, plenty fruit and yoghurt. And even a little bottle of wine and beer plus juice which we didn't have but appreciated them being supplied if wanted. Friendly dog!

This was the best property we stayed in on our 2 week road trip around Nth Island of NZ. And we stayed at some posh places (5 Star, etc.). Blown away with this farm stay. Such a lovely people. Great accommodation with every amenity. So peaceful and relaxing. If you're visiting Waitomo caves of anywhere in the area - Stay here. It's beautiful

The staff were absolutely lovely. Lyn gave us some suggestions of additional activities we could do and offered to book us dinner. The location was great. A short walk away from the Waitomo Caves tour entry. Breakfast was simple but yummy and Lyn made sure we had everything we needed. The room and bathroom were very clean.

We loved staying at the chalets! The hosts are so lovely and kind and helped us with everything. The rooms are spacious and very clean. You have everything you need and you could also use the shared kitchen of the hostel if you like. The location is great if you plan cave activities.

The owners Richy and Lyn were so lovely and from the second I arrived made me feel so welcome. They had lots of info about the surrounding areas and where to eat etc and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend. Lovely room with stunning views and very clean. Great location to walk to the restaurants and bar.
