Really lovely place to stay on the farm surrounded by hills and a nice orchard on site. Was a comfortable place for a big group with lots of space. Very tidy and had everything we needed. Thank you

Thanks Courtney! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay.
This place is a hidden gem. We have stayed in places before and brought everything but the kitchen sink. This time we could have literally left everything at home and just had clothes. Thank you for such a wonderful stay . It was great to show our two home-stays a place outside of Auckland. Your home and garden is beautiful.
