"Beautiful retreat"

10.0

Liz was so kind and welcoming. She provided so much information about the area and things to do. The farm is absolutely stunning. We loved being able to walk around the property and see all of the animals.

Nothing, everything was lovely!

"it is an excellent place to stay and chill !"

10.0

The breakfast was simple which we like. The room was warm and cozy and very clean when we check in.. I like that they have the animals like Eeyore the donkey , the horse ,sheep and chicken. The Eeyore and the horse were nice to come near us so that we can take good picture with them . the Plus are Liz and Bob who were kind to let us check in early , because of that, we managed to visit the Glowworm cave and Ruakuri Cave within a day. Thank you for your kindness.

"Wonderful hosts, perfect location for the glow warms, and a tremendous find!"

10.0

This place was awesome! :-) SUCH lovely grounds, and LIz was a tremendously sweet and helpful host. She had head torches to borrow to see my first glow worms even the night before my official tour. Breakfast was plentiful and awesome, the room was terrific, and the location near the glow worms could not be beat. My favorite part was Liz's warmth and great hospitality, though. You can't go wrong here! :-)

Beautiful location with everything provided, promoting the local area. The host was friendly and gave us a option of things to do. Was very well located close to the caves, meals and a great little town close by. Would loved to have spent more time here. Thanks to our hosts!!!! Loved our stay ***** 🖐

Nothing. Everything was provided even breakfast. The only thing that would have been better if it wasn't raining lol

"Empfehlenswert für kurzen Aufenthalt!"

Sehr modern, hell, freundliche Tiere (Hund, Esel etc), gute Größe

Durch den Schotter vor dem Appartement hört man das Wegfahren anderer Autos in der Früh recht laut.

"A lovely farm stay if you want a peaceful start to your NZ holiday"

9.0

It was a quaint all in one apartment on a farm. Exactly as advertised and with good fittings and toiletries. A simple breakfast provided and it's very close to everything in the area. We should have stayed 3 nights not 2 and seen more of the area. Hosts were very helpful and very mindful of us. We got up, passed midnight to look at the stars and it was a perfect night to see them....

Pillows, 1 was not enough 2 too much, maybe 2 different size pillows would be good.
