About this property

Warm calm peaceful Farmstay Rotorua with Wi-Fi (but kids don't need to know!)

Rotorua Shearers' Retreat (with super-fast Wi-Fi) is a warm and peaceful 2 bedroom farmstay on the owners' farm, converted from the original Shearers' Quarters. Tuis, bellbird and NZ wood pigeons are often seen and heard around the fenced section which provides secure space for children and parking for boat/car .
View sheep and cattle grazing from the kitchen and living areas! Feed the chickens if you wish, and get to know the donkeys, who will welcome you home each day.
Well-insulated and sited for the sun, comfort is assured with a heat pump/airconditioner. The interior space is approx 103 square metres and is topped off with an 18 square metre covered outdoor entertainment area.
