Everything was amazing! Carolyn was incredibly friendly and kind, super helpful and was always quick to respond to any questions. The home itself was fantastic - charming, cosy, and functional with exceptional views (from so many rooms!). The property gardens were beautiful and the outdoor areas were absolutely perfect - there was lots of rain/wind on the days we were there but the outdoor areas were so great it didn't hinder our stay at all! (Well protected from elements, stunning views and comfy chairs!) Fireplace was amazing and Carolyn provided plenty of firewood for us. Great location as well- only 15mins from the waitomo caves/restaurants etc. yet we still had beautiful privacy up in the mountains! Overall we loved every part! Location, views, charm, and super comfy beds!! Great stay for couples, friends, families, holidays and little getaways! Carolyn was an exceptional host and the home was fantastic - we will definitely be back!

Go feed the lambs, play tennis, do your laundry, use the cleanest and most spacious kitchen to bake pizza and bread (no joke, we did that as they have everything, even cheese knives!). Don’t just stay for the caves, stay a little longer as it’s such a lovely, calming place!

It was clean, dry and warm. I arrived late at night in the rain and the young man who I met at the office was an exceptional host. I had a nice sleep listening to the rain and woke up early in the morning to sound typical on a NZ farm - magpies and bleating lambs. It was really lovely.

So peaceful. I've always liked city life but maybe living on a farm is the way to go! Loved all the animals and watching the cows from my bed. Good bed and the cabin was cosy.

The staff were absolutely lovely. Lyn gave us some suggestions of additional activities we could do and offered to book us dinner. The location was great. A short walk away from the Waitomo Caves tour entry. Breakfast was simple but yummy and Lyn made sure we had everything we needed. The room and bathroom were very clean.

We loved staying at the chalets! The hosts are so lovely and kind and helped us with everything. The rooms are spacious and very clean. You have everything you need and you could also use the shared kitchen of the hostel if you like. The location is great if you plan cave activities.

The owners Richy and Lyn were so lovely and from the second I arrived made me feel so welcome. They had lots of info about the surrounding areas and where to eat etc and nothing was too much trouble for them. Highly recommend. Lovely room with stunning views and very clean. Great location to walk to the restaurants and bar.
