The cottage was beautiful, with gorgeous scenery and a great location. It was very clean, there were plenty of bedsheets, and the bathrooms were great.The main drawbacks were the outdated furniture, dishes and cutlery that need updating, and the sleep-out room, which was basically unusable. Given the price, I also felt it was overpriced for what was provided.Overall, it’s a lovely cottage, but some updates would make it better value for money.

We loved our stay at Arias Cottage and Cabin, perfect, large, accommodating space for a group. Heaps of room and facilities for everyone.

Nice place for families.

The farm setting was very fun for the young kids and lots to do. The kids loved feeding the farm animals and they got a lot of use out of the trampoline (the kids, not the animals). The accommodations are fine, but dated and could use some renovations.

Thank you Kerris and Chris for an amazing holiday in your cabin and cottage. What an ideal setting and comfortable accommodation. There is everything you need to cook, clean, play and be comfortable in these two adjoining places. The farm visit was an absolute joy for the younger children and the spa was loved by all.

We came as a large family group and used the house, cottage and caravan. We enjoyed our time on the farm - thanks for the animal tour. The kids loved having a spa after our full on days of activities. Great shower pressure also. I would recommend this property to future guests.

Family reunion on the farm

Place was very clean, lots of space, lots of beds, great setup. Kitchen was well stocked, laundry room was a nice bonus. Nice cozy fire for the days it was chilly. Worked very well for our family group and we enjoyed our stay. Both kids and adults all enjoyed the animal feeding, learning about the farm and trying the fresh farm eggs.

Friends Reunion - Long weekend

We loved staying at Arias Farm, what a brilliant place to stay with a group of friends for a reunion! We had a mix of adults and children, and even the furry child (dog) was welcomed. Perfect place for a large group to stay and we appreciated the little things such as the large trampoline and fully fenced backyard. Kids loved the animal feeding and "Dumbo" the pig with big ears was a hit.

Family time

Great place to take large groups. We were a large group and all our needs were met. We needed a place where we could have family time without being separated in different rooms. Had family meals and the kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed. Kerris is great to work with. Thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

Great for families

Arias Farm was great for our large group (10 adults and six kids). Heaps of backyard space for the kids to play, and a big trampoline which they used a lot. Not a massive house but well set-out so every family group had their own bedroom. Close enough to town and amenities that it's not too much trouble to get anywhere, but still feels very private and away from it all. Also, great spa. Would recommend.

Wonderful stay.

Unsure why this wont let me select 5stars* Beautiful and quiet location, loved our stay. Highly recommended to those who will respect the property. So much space and privacy within and around the cottage/cabin. Big Thank you to the wonderful host, who also gave fresh eggs throughout the duration of our stay 😊 Kids loved the animals and helping with the feeding. Kind regards.

FARM FUN!

We visited from Hawaii with a group of 18 people. The kids loved the animals, open space and the volleyball area. Seeing the piglets were on the top faves of the kids list in NZ! Great location, very close to all things in Rotorua! Kerris gave great recommendations and has a book full of things to do! The living area was everyone’s favorite space — especially our night games, laughs and food! Rooms were spacious and comfy! Checking in and out was easy! Definitely recommend Aria’s Farm for a place to stay in Rotorua, especially for larger groups/families! Thank you Kerris & family!
