And every room was lovely. We hoped it would be beautiful from the photos, but it exceeded our expectations!We had our dogs with us and they loved running around the big lawn and we enjoyed the pretty garden. We picked this place mainly because we could bring our dogs, but would recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to really get away from it all! It’s incredibly peaceful despite being so close to the highway. The host Amanda was also really helpful and easy and prompt to deal with. Much appreciated and we look forward to staying here again! ##### Rebekah F. Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lee h.

Amanda had opened everything up for my arrival, and the home was clean, comfortable and spacious. As I was a bit tired of traveling, it was nice to just relax here. Other than an occasional car on the Worlds Forgotten Highway, mostly all you hear outside are birds and animals grazing. I would definitely stay here again, and I already miss the cat. ##### Michael D. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle C.

We got to name one of the newborn lambs, pat them and feed the sheep, chickens and snuggly cat. Games and toys suitable for all ages. Gorgeous bath and bath bombs. Amanda was super helpful. Our friends are already keen to visit! ##### Kirsten M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trish B.

We arrived to a lit fire, a warm cat, fresh bread and (home grown) eggs, and pretty much all we needed apart from milk and groceries for main meals. Place was super-clean, is literally the best-equipped house we’ve ever encountered. Views from the front windows are excellent; the bathroom is a modern delight, washing machine sits outside (like they used to). Excellent WiFi, simultaneously, no mobile phone coverage at the house itself. Hostess Amanda was charming and helpful. She came and checked up on us as soon as she could after we arrived. It’s on a genuine working, well-managed farm stud. (We got to name a calf!) Views from almost all windows are great; one only view of the dreadful forestry of ‘the neighbours’. Its strength and weakness are the same thing: ‘remoteness’. Access from the north and east via the Forgotten World Highway involves corner after corner and a mix of tar and gravel – travel distances aren’t huge but the travel times are long. It’s easier approaching from the South and West, but increasingly winding. A half-day trip to Tangarakau Gorge, Joshua Morgan’s Grave, and the Moki Tunnel – well worth it. Nights are the quietest ever. A distant owl is all we heard. Nowhere near as expensive as it could be. Recommended! A comfy, good-handling car is a must. The resident cat is a characterful, affectionate, self-appointed co-host. ##### George B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chris m.

The villa was well presented with delightful finishing touches. We particularly enjoyed our hike to the tunnels and bush areas on the farm. Amanda and Aaron were lovely hosts. We highly recommend the experience at this charming villa in a beautiful setting. We would love to return. ##### chris m. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philippa S.

Warm and cosy on a winter's evening, everything you could possibly need and very accommodating hosts. Sorry that our Meg and your lovely cat didn't quite see eye to eye! Thank you so much.
