Secluded Farm Retreat

A great destination to discover rural life, a quiet area only 5 minutes drive off state highway 3, takes you right into the heart of a small secluded farming area. Only 15 minutes drive to the Mokau Museum and the Mokau beaches
Immerse yourself in the farming life, watch the cows meander past the house to get milked, the beef cattle grazing in the paddocks, Dodge the horse quietly munching away in the paddocks around the house, totally peace and quiet in a beautiful surrounding. Short walks can take you into scenic reserves, with fantails, goats, and an abundance of native wildlife. The house receive all day sun with beautiful views of a secluded valley. Feel part of the history of the Mokau river, once a bustling coal mining area, in this cosy comfy original cottage, visit the lime mine area on the farm and there is information on the original owners and life on the Mokau river in the house.
Enjoy the native rimu kitchen, with complimentary tea, coffee and fresh milk.

Fantastic place once we found it
The address supplied by by bookabach was around 32 kms away from the property up a one lane unsealed dirt road and lived in. Bookabach also charged us double the price of booking..com where the property is also listed. We eventually found the place by going to a local post office 11kms away. We had a great time and are $300 short!

The property is breathtaking & serene views, has everything you need and more.
My girls fell in love with this lovely & inviting home, it held a relaxing charming ambiance which enabled us to just be at one with nature. Breakfast on the patio ( nice fresh cows milk even) & listening to the sounds of birds while watching the mist slowly swirl up from the lush forest was truly amazing. The girls played games, laughed & clowned about on the lush lawns with their music playing. It was great to be out of town and earthing ourselves in this amazing valley that is so so peaceful yet alive with life itself. The rooms were lovely with a mix of old & new, loved the comfortable beds & soft luxurious touches that us women like, perfect touches with flowers I so loved. Couldn’t work the DVD player so we played board games & cards instead & the kitchen has plenty of space & cupboards. A great stove for cooking & a decent sized refrigerator for a families needs. Great bathroom area & outdoor bathroom even although we didn’t quite know how to use it. Fantastic holiday & we hope to be back and see it in the winter months, imagining a nice warm fire & hot cups of coffee/ tea which delicious scones!!!

Peaceful hideaway
We had a lovely relaxing weekend in beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable and peaceful. Enjoyed the farm setting. Had a fun quad bike farm tour. The calves were very cute. Everyone was very friendly. Suggest some more wine glasses would be good :)

Clean and cosy.
Clean and cosy. Nice continental breakfast makings left for us and we appreciated being allowed to take our dog. We enjoyed the isolation of the property - not far to get there, but we felt like we were miles from anywhere and it was fantastic. We felt totally relaxed. Thank you.
