If you are in need of a place away from the madding crowd, look no further. Off the beaten track, and then a bit. Beautiful scenery, fresh air and friendly hosts.

“relaxing farm stay”
Stunning views comfortable bed and a superb locally produced breakfast made for an excellent relaxing stay. Lee was an excellent friendly hostess providing good directions for finding the property and alerting us to the unmade road access. We didnt find this a problem as its a lovely part of rural New Zealand and just needs taking slowly
