Guest Reviews
- Sela & Greg (10/5): Exceptional - Barbara & Leo are wonderful Hosts, there hospitality is warm & inviting plus we enjoyed the chats. We would highly recommend Carmel Farmstay & we'll definitely be returning, thanks Barbara & Leo from the Team at Country TV, see you next year. The bedrooms are lovely & comfortable, spacious, peaceful & homely. Breakfast each day was excellent - kept my Team very happy & set for the day. Short drive from Te Kuiti, minutes from Piopio.
- Chamberlain (9/5): Thank you Leo and Barbara! Lovely people who made me feel very welcome - Lovely people, friendly. A very comfortable stay 😊
- John (5/5): - Flies.
- Eve (10/5): Absolutely loved my stay at Barbara and Leo’s property. Beautiful view and cosy atmosphere, warm welcome, very attentive - Lovely home and stunning surroundings
- Maia (6/5): Pleasant - Lovely view from the balcony. Very convenient location for a stopover on the way down to Taranaki. Booked and paid for a king deluxe with private bathroom and got given a twin room instead with shared bathroom. Nice breakfast but felt very rushed as the host needed to get away.
- Pali (9/5): Superb - “A beautiful home and wonderful couple Leo and Babara, So warm and welcoming .It has nice view from our room ,nice place to stay again
- Janet (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts were wonderful people, perfect place to stay. So hospitable. Amazing. Was all perfect
- Simon (8/5): Very good -
- Samantha (1/5): Bad - we didn't stay here, the owners contacted us after booking .Com confirmed and said it was not available
- Stephanie (1/5): Dissatisfied. - Can't comment as didn't stay there. Our booking was confirmed and then early on the morning of the day we were staying we received an abrupt message from the owner to say we couldn't stay with no explanation or apology. I tried to speak to her and left a message but she didn't phone me. I did speak to her husband who said he would tell her I had phoned. All very annoying and unprofessional
- Nyree (10/5): Piopio Farmstay - Barbara's welcome was friendly and warm-hearted to this beautiful slice of heaven just outside of Piopio. My room was well situated beside the spotless bathroom with its own balcony with access & deck chairs. The large bed was comfy. Breakfast was hearty with cereals, toast & farm eggs. I would highly recommend the homemade damson plum jam... I even got to chat with farmer Leo as he was about to attend to the hungry calves. There was a lovely family atmosphere and I felt very much at home.
- Margaret (10/5): A lovely Piopio welcome. - The hosts were very hospitable and accommodating. The setting was amazing and the beds were comfortable.
- Joerg (9/5): Lovely hosts, spotless room - The hosts are so lovely, had nice conversations and enjoyed the stay very much.
- Anke (8/5): Very good - Very nice view, absolutely quite, lovely hosts.
- Natua (10/5): Exceptional - EVERYTHING NOTHING EVERYTHING WAS GOOD
- Sarah (9/5): Wonderful chance to experience country life! - Carmel Farm is a beautiful property and Barbara and Leo couldn't have been more welcoming and accomodating. They took my 13 year old nephew out at the crack of dawn to feed the calves and take part in the morning chores on the farm - he had an incredible time and hasn't stopped talking about it since! We were made to feel so welcome and enjoyed great chats over a glass of wine in the evening and over the beautiful breakfast Barabara prepared for us in the morning. Would recommend a visit to anyone!
- Rachael (10/5): We had a lovely time and felt very comfortable it was like being at my grandparents place. So homely - A beautiful home and wonderful couple who run the B&B. So warm and welcoming and it was the perfect spot for us with our 4 month old son
- Shailesh (8/5): Great host, great house, but beware of Booking.com pricing for the room - Barbara and Leo are such amazing hosts. They are very friendly and welcoming. We made an instant connection and it was so much fun with them. Barbara even gave us a tour of their huge farm. The house itself is huge and very well maintained. There's ample parking space. The house entrance, living and dining room is great. Moreover, Barbara and Leo made us feel being at home. The room itself is just about ok. It was in a basement with carpeting, comforters, curtains, and bathroom needing an upgrade. I wouldn't mind it though, had it not been Booking.com error in pricing. I had clearly selected 2 people in my search and it showed NZD130 per night. The pictures and description of the room gave us some idea, but we we staying only for one night and also booking in the last minute, so we settled for the option. There was absolutely no mention that this was per person price and I would've to shell out NZD260 for 2 of us. For that price, there are several better options in Waitomo area. I showed the proof to Booking.com, but they wouldn't accept their mistake. It's a shame on Booking.com.
