A little gem, halfway between a YHA and a DOC hut. Completely genuine farm stay backpackers, of old time farming, a la Footrot Flats, Wal. Couch and the dog. Complete with house cow, sheep and horses. Nestling in, and embraced by the native bush of Peel Forest. If you like the idea of really rustic accommodation waking up to a cow looking at you through the window this is the place for you. If you are looking for mod cons and don't like the idea of dodging cowpats on the way to the toilet go somewhere else. Bring some cash for payment as well.
We had a wonderful stay at Peel Forest Farm Stay so nice to be near the bush, birds and mountains. Steve & Jenny are warm friendly hosts who just welcome you into their Farm, home & family.
We went horse riding , fed ducks & chickens (Collected eggs while still hot from being laid-That's fresh) and saw the sheep/lambs & cow/calves.
We also went for many nice bush & waterfall walks (Big Tree, Emily/Rata falls) around Peel forest.
We would have liked to go White Water Rafting down the Rangatata River but there wasn't time.
We loved this Farm/home stay!
