Family Get Together

We arranged a family catch up from around the North Island and had a great time staying. The host Dawn was super friendly and helpful and arranged for us to bring the kids to feed some of the animals on the farm. The house itself was well sized and arranged with plenty of space for the kids to run around both indoors and out.

Awesome Experience

It was so cosy and well-equipped up on the hill with such a nice view. Ideal place for family relaxation especially with kids. Especial thanks to Dawn for the opportunity she has given our kids to get an awesome experience on her farm. They thoroughly enjoyed preparing and feeding cattle and patting them. We loved our stay and bank again for sure.

Beautiful Spot

Our farm stay was beautiful. Plenty of room for the kids to run around and the space down stairs was great kept everyone occupied. Beds comfortable plenty of blankets and towels provided and the fire place was amazing. Regular delivery of farm fresh eggs from the host such a nice thing to do. All in all we loved our stay everything needed was supplied couldn’t have asked for anymore. Thank you so much for your hospitality Jenny and Dawn 🙂

The place you will go again for sure!

This is our second time we have organised our family Christmas gathering over there. It is an absolutely beautiful place, plenty of activities and surrounding with beautiful mountain. We have been there 2 nights and we have enjoyed plenty of time with cricket, pool, table tennis and dart. Of course the evening BBQ made our stay delightful. Clean rooms, extra blankets and fans was made our stay more comfortable. Highly recommended, the host was amazing available any time on call and really helpful. We are looking forward to come back again this year.

Farm house stay

Everything was great. We were greeted, met the family, and were given fresh eggs and milk from their farm. The king bed was so comfy. The biggest draw back was the road noise. Due to hot weather we had the windows open so we heard a lot of noise from the highway.

Best ever experience , must do👍👍

The host Dawn was the best of best host we ever had in NZ Easy communication, honest information, flexibility, amazing knowledge, caring and very friendly host. All of us enjoyed the stay and the farm experience offered by Dawn was spectacular. kids really enjoyed feeding animals and picking the free farmed eggs. Absolute value for money and time and the homely feel is worth mentioning. We will recommend for everyone as a must do activity and we will definitely prefer staying again Lots of local attractions for all ages like Uriti tunnel, beaches, three sisters, caves, waterfalls likemt damper waterfall, lots of sites for trails and hiking , farm experiences etc Above all it is the super service of the super host makes this property outstanding

Great place to relax.

Everything you need to just chill. The hubby n I just wanted something quiet to relax and this was perfect. The wood stove was cozy, the enclosed deck caught the sun and the mist in the morning made you feel remote and was beautiful to watch slowly evaporate in the AM. The farm was easy to wall and plenty of games on hand. Loved it.

The Farm house is the best!

We have chosen our annual family gathering in Farm house and we have been there for 3 nights, wow what a wonderful place it is! Clean and tidy rooms, living area, bathrooms, basement, also the gaming place. We had a evening BBQ and hours of cricket, pool, and table tennis. Owner always kept in touch with us and I will be recommending Uriti farm house as a great place for your gathering. Thank you very much for fresh bottle of milk. We will come back again.
