Great Country escape which is close to Auckland but feels like it's hours away. The cottage is perfect as a home away from home and very peaceful. Alex, Anka & family made us very welcome & our kids (11 & 13) loved looking around the small farm & meeting the animals. We'll definitely be back.
Anke and Alex's beautiful farmstay truly exceeded expectations. The cottage is tranquil and very well equipped. Our kids loved riding Diablo the horse, feeding the animals and playing with the friendly dogs. Thank you! We look forward to our next visit.
This is a real slice of heavenbirds allover, nice patches of green within the paddocks where donkeys and horses,sheep and goats are enjoying your presence too. Ducks and chicken stroll around, pukekos and herons are daily visitors. You want relax in the hot spa, while gazing at the stars? You want to see port Waikato? Weathertop? Scenic drive on highway 22? It is all at "the doorstep" . Wonderfull hosts, quality acco. We will be back!
I had the opportunity to stay in this nice house during a business trip in New-Zealand.
The house still smells new and is perfectly OK. The bathroom even has heating lamps for extra comfort.
Situated in a very quiet area, no light polution so it was for me years ago since I had such a view on the stars ! The owners are very friendly and social, their kids too. The lady of the house has worked in tourism before she started to maintain the farm, so she shares her experiences of all the interresting things to do/visit in the area.
It is close enough to Auckland to pay visits, and also near other fascinating area's. I would go back in an instance if I ever had the chance again.
