Clean, kid and pet friendly. Stunning views, loved the piglets and chooks! Walking around the property, we were lucky to see lots of kereru, piwakawaka, quails and even a tūī! Super special! lots of board games, loved that there was no T.V too. The kids were thrilled to find a milkshake maker too.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It’s wonderful to hear the property was clean and welcoming for both kids and pets, and that you enjoyed the stunning views and wildlife. We’re glad the board games and milkshake maker were a hit with the kids, and that the absence of a TV helped create a special, screen-free holiday.
We’d love to host you again.
