We loved 😍 the hole experience magnificent views very friendly hosts. Beautiful accommodation

Lovely little farm stay with beautiful views of the countryside. Rob really went the extra mile with recommendations of local walks to see the glowworms as well as a self guided walk around their lovely farm. The bed was extremely comfy, the room was already warm when we arrived and a delicious breakfast in the morning. By far the best accommodation we've stayed in New Zealand!

Troppo bello, ci siamo trovati troppo bene. Proprietario gentile, ci ha consigliato una bellissima camminata da fare!

Calm farm style nights, stars can be seen and very cozy tidy and private. Host provided night torches for us and lovely breakfast in the room with stunning morning serenity.

Very nice

The view, location,

A cosy farm stay with lots of expert local advise on places to eat, things to do and even offering to host a picnic on the property itself! The small details from providing fresh breakfast options and head lights for evening bush walks were so appreciated.

Absolutely amazing location with unbeatable sights, and the room was so clean and thoughtfully presented. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Lage hervorragend Liz und Robert super nett Bett bequem Frühstück rustikal aber gut (toast mit Butter und Marmelade + Früchte) Kaffee und tee Kurze Wanderung rund um die Farm matschig und interessant Sonnenuntergang und Aufgang wunderschön

Leider ist der Rauchmelder um 0200 in der Nacht angegangen.

Beautiful Location, excellent facilities

Kind host, delicious breakfast including local fruits, wonderful beds, in the middle of nature, woke up with a beautiful sunset view from the bed and bird's songs.

Nothing to be improved.

Amazing location. Lovely studio with everything you could possibly need. Great breakfast included which was a lovely touch. We only met Liz & she was very friendly & welcoming.

Todo increíble. Parecía un lugar mágico. Muy bien ubicado para las actividades en las cuevas de Waitomo. Los anfitriones muy amorosos y acogedores

Slightly difficult to locate.

The farm is absolutely beautiful! The unit was clean and very well equipped. I loved the addition of a headlamp for the bushwalk near by.

I wish I could've stayed longer

房东夫妻很贴心善良，晚上才回家的房东太太带我们搭乘她的truck夜探萤火虫岩壁，还收获了满天星空，太震撼了！！刚到北岛没多久，这些体验太新奇与可贵~房子也很温暖好找，看到157的门派牌子车拐进去，大伯给了我们钥匙不像别的还要翻来找去跟密室逃脱似的，房东养的鸭鸭公鸡羊羊和朝阳太美好了，会记住一辈子，我也留言画画留言本了，有温情的地儿。冰箱里有第二天的早餐，厕所抽屉有洗漱产品，衣柜里有探照头灯，暖风机和电风扇，很有爱的屋子，性价比太高了，爱住了比心

整體都非常的棒 農場主人夫婦非常的好客友善 環境也很安靜 夜空充滿星星 看到附近的牛羊群覺得心曠神怡 貓咪🐈驢子🫏還有馬🐎也特別可愛☺️ 離懷托摩洞穴(Ruakuri)也非常近 適合早上要去洞穴導覽的旅客

Le lieu est superbe, l’hôtesse était très gentille et le logement très bien équipé, le lit très confortable.

En hivers il fait un peu froid car pas de chauffage

Very friendly and helpful owners (Liz on the phone and Robert at the farm when we arrived). Good breakfast, very clean and privat

Ha sido una estancia de lo más agradable en un entorno inmejorable.Quedarnos aquí fue una gran decisión. Liz y Rob fueron muy acogedores, amables y serviciales y tienen un pequeño apartamento cómodo y actual. Su granja es muy bonita, está bien situada, tiene un paisaje inmejorable y con animales que hacen más auténtica la visita. Quedamos prendados de su burrito que era de lo más caiñoso!

Nada, todo fue perfecto!

Robert was very welcoming, gave us local information for the area. It was clean, cosy and quiet. Lovely rural setting, close to the glow worm caves, which we had come to see. Perfect for our 2 night stay with breakfast included being a bonus.

Welch Idylle! Die Lage ist einfach ein Traum und man muss sich kneifen, wenn man auf der Terrasse sitzt, in die Landschaft schaut und die Vögel singen hört. Stirnlampen stehen für die Glühwürmchenwanderung zur Verfügung und danach den grandiosen Sternenhimmel betrachten! In der Infomappe werden Wanderungen etc. in der Umgebung detailliert beschrieben. Sehr nahe an den beiden Höhlen. Frühstück war lecker und vorbereitet im Kühlschrank.

Logement très spacieux, au calme et très propre, c'était parfait

Rien

Lekker rustig gelegen en vlakbij de Waitomo caves, ideaal! De eigenaresse was ook heel vriendelijk en lief voor ons zoontje van 1,5 jaar.

Er was geen airco of ventilator aanwezig waardoor het overdag wel wat warm was op de kamer.

Lovely and well appointed apartment on the farm. Quiet and peaceful with very helpfull hosts but still only 4minutes from either caves. Great breakfast and comfortable bed

The location is excellent and as the only room you really felt part of farm. Everything was well through and we really enjoyed the stay, including the amazing views.

The photo style guide to the farm walk I was keen to do didn't quite work for me... I couldn't quite figure out the gates confidently. I do love a map which would have completed the instructions. Thanks

Beautiful farmstay with everything you need. Peaceful location and a very comfortable bed. Close to Waitomo glowworm caves.

Lovely location

Nothing we didn’t like

Beautiful location, helpful and friendly host, comfortable and lovely accommodation

Nothing

'The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in' - said my husband. This place is amazing - peaceful, clean, comfortable and well thought out. Little touches like scrabble game, books, fan and heater make it great. Really good location- very short drive from famous Waitomo caves and local food places. Loved waking up, taking a 5 second walk and standing admiring the views and listening to the birds.

The thing we regretted was the fact that we couldn't stay longer

Idyllische Lage in ruhiger Umgebung und totale Nähe zu den Waitomo Caves! Sehr freundliche Gastgeber!

Alles perfekt!

Super close to waitomo caves, very neat clean and well organised space with a beautiful view. Nice and quiet, easy access, easy parking, great facilities

Beautiful farm and comfortable room

Easy entry into a clean and very well supplied apartment. The room had everything we needed. The breakfast options were wonderful. We chose toast, yogurt and fruit. We highly recommend staying here.

Outside small town - great quiet location with very kind host and nice breakfast.

Liz was so kind and welcoming. She provided so much information about the area and things to do. The farm is absolutely stunning. We loved being able to walk around the property and see all of the animals.

Nothing, everything was lovely!

Beautiful location with everything provided, promoting the local area. The host was friendly and gave us a option of things to do. Was very well located close to the caves, meals and a great little town close by. Would loved to have spent more time here. Thanks to our hosts!!!! Loved our stay ***** 🖐

Nothing. Everything was provided even breakfast. The only thing that would have been better if it wasn't raining lol

Die gute Information vor der Anreise! Das leckere Frühstück das im Kühlschrank bereit stand und die liebevoll gestalltete Infomappe .

This place was awesome! :-) SUCH lovely grounds, and LIz was a tremendously sweet and helpful host. She had head torches to borrow to see my first glow worms even the night before my official tour. Breakfast was plentiful and awesome, the room was terrific, and the location near the glow worms could not be beat. My favorite part was Liz's warmth and great hospitality, though. You can't go wrong here! :-)

The breakfast was simple which we like. The room was warm and cozy and very clean when we check in.. I like that they have the animals like Eeyore the donkey , the horse ,sheep and chicken. The Eeyore and the horse were nice to come near us so that we can take good picture with them . the Plus are Liz and Bob who were kind to let us check in early , because of that, we managed to visit the Glowworm cave and Ruakuri Cave within a day. Thank you for your kindness.

Sehr modern, hell, freundliche Tiere (Hund, Esel etc), gute Größe

Durch den Schotter vor dem Appartement hört man das Wegfahren anderer Autos in der Früh recht laut.

Great location, very clean and good amenities

A very tranquil place. Accomodation was well presented with everything you could need. Owners Rob & Liz were very hospitable, making sure you were ok and giving tips on things to do!

Breakfast options were good (buffet in room), location amazing, good size room and outside space to relax in / around

Ants around the kitchen worktop was the only concern

It was a quaint all in one apartment on a farm. Exactly as advertised and with good fittings and toiletries. A simple breakfast provided and it's very close to everything in the area. We should have stayed 3 nights not 2 and seen more of the area. Hosts were very helpful and very mindful of us. We got up, passed midnight to look at the stars and it was a perfect night to see them....

Pillows, 1 was not enough 2 too much, maybe 2 different size pillows would be good.

Secluded stay. There was literally no one else at the property. I really loved that

There was nothing that I did not like about the property

Hele mooie locatie dichtbij de waitomo caves. Eigenaren hadden hoofdlampjes klaargelegd waarmee we in de avond wandeling konden maken naar de glow worms. Erg leuk.

Niet op aan te merken.

Incredible picturesque setting. Wonderfully quiet and restful.

The owner does not regularly check messages through booking.com.

very convinient to night ruakuri walk. loop walk in the farmland is fun. they were very kind to help us walking the farm.

Cows are not so much friendly to us.

The farm was so beautiful and the owners were so lovely..I hope to return again! Do the farm walk it's worth it.

Nice views. Peaceful, comfy bed and great facilities would definitely stay here again.

Piękne otoczenie, bardzo komfortowy apartament ze śniadanie., przemili właściciele.

This place was beyond cute. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, the views gorgeous, and location spectacular. Just a few minutes from the Waitomo caves and a shorter drive the other way to a great short hike that has glowworms also (fantastic free thing, highly recommend). The hosts even left headlamps for the hike. I also liked that they were real locals, not just an Airbnb investor- you can tell in the quality of everything.

Absolutely nothing.

The location , cleanliness, farm animals, hospitality

Location excellent - close to amenities and walks but also very quiet. Hosts very informative about the area both in person and with information in room. Everything clean and breakfast a bonus.

Beautiful property and a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere.

Nothing.

Peaceful, quiet. Very comfy bed. Beautiful surroundings . The walk over the farm was an excellent idea we would like to have done but didn’t have time. Similarly the walk to see the glow worms at night for which head torches were provided. Very thoughtful.

Quiet location, private, nice breakfast and close to glowworm caves and walks

Great room, comfy bed, very clean, great breakfast

Nothing, was great

Nous avons aimé l''emplacement de la maison au milieu de la nature Le logement est très propre, la literie, le petit déjeuner bien copieux

Animals and out of the way

-

Clean, Comfortable, Cozy. All the amenities you need, with a super comfy bed, breakfast provided and great info on the farm and the surrounding area. Located on a beautiful farm, with stunning walks all around. Great spot for a homey stay or a getaway in nature. Great attention to detail. Extras and small things are definitely noticed.

Spacious and very comfortable studio, with everything needed for an overnight stay. Breakfast was delicious, the place was beautiful, and the walk they recommended to see the glowworms was amazing. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming

I would just suggest adding a small electric oven or an air fryer to the kitchen

Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. A choice of spreads, cereall and fruit with wonderful bread. Gave us a great start to the day

There was nothing we didnt like. Every consideration has gone into providing a wonderful place to stay. First just the location is truly beautiful with magnificent views. The accomodation is cosy and very comfortable. It was wasy to find close to the village and caves etc. Beautifully presented and we highly rexommend

Location to the caves.

Nothing.

The owners have truly thought of everything to create a cowy farm experience! Animals were an added bonus. Owners had put together a detailed manual on how everything worked and all local activities and restaurants including brochures with pricing and menus!

We enjoyed every part of our stay even though it was for a night. We got a warm greeting from Rob at the very start which felt very wholesome as well as the whole stay. I would definitely recommend the stay for anyone who wants an accommodation with view, and there is a short walk to the caves with glowworms in it near by which was great. And the room was big enough and roomy.

Very well presented and clean

Friendly and helpful.

So close to the caves, clean and warm. Great extra touches and really nice hosts! Loved my stay here

This was a lovely stay! So warm and cosy, had some basic kitchen essentials, very comfortable and clean bed. The view was beautiful, gorgeous New Zealand countryside. Would highly highly recommend

Nothing.

Friendly host who was super helpful. Very scenic farmstay close to Waitomo caves. The stars were glorious when we were there; nice and dark! Comfy beds, warm etc. Grt for tourists who want an authentic NZ experience - donkey, horse, chickens, farm walk

Couldn’t get the TV to work (we aren’t good with tech - what is Chromecast??) Also we would love it if more places had a BBQ or stovetop to cook on. Yes has a microwave but we don’t use them.
