Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Farm It was lovely for city children to experience a bit of country ie feeding chickens and collecting eggs. Feeding the horse and a lovely bush walk. The weather didn’t play the game so other things we would have enjoyed had to be put on hold ##### Penny M. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul S. Mar 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rural breakaway Beautifully presented in a cottage style. We were greeted with a bottle of delightful Rose and fresh muffins. The owners were friendly and welcoming and took us on a farm excursion to a scenic outlook of the Waimarama Valley. Our grandson really enjoyed his first farm experience on the off road farm vehicle, friendly farm dogs and chooks. Thank you for a really memorable stay. One possible improvement could be a small clothesline on the side of the cottage for towels and such like. ##### Paul S.
