We loved the cottage set on a farm the bush
The place looks fascinating, good location
We made reservation via booking,com and paid it, then we got Whatsapp message from the owner who requested us to cancel the reservation as someone had already made a booking via Airbnb. The whole amount of our payment was not refunded.
Lovely cottage and a pleasant place to stay.
1.非常大又完整的獨立溫馨平房,有品味的裝飾及佈置 2.很漂亮的農場,繡球花很多很大。 3.農場主人很熱情的介紹,還帶我們用蘋果餵食山羊!很特別的體驗。
1.晚上戶外幾乎漆黑一片 2.附近沒有餐廳
חדר גד
Miejsce prze-urocze! Otoczone zielenią, wzgórzami, cisza i spokój! Farma jest z dala od miasta, ale byliśmy samochodem, więc zupełnie nam to nie przeszkadzało. Gospodarze byli bardzo mili, pomocni i zawsze szybko reagowali w razie potrzeby. Mieszkanie było bardzo przytulne, wygodne, z dostępem do internetu (dobrej jakości). Była nawet dostępna pralka, więc można było naprawdę poczuć się jak w domu :) Chatka otoczona jest tarasem, więc poranne śniadanie oraz kawa przy śpiewie ptaków, to coś pięknego!
nie przychodzi mi do głowy nic negatywnego :)
Lovely peaceful getaway
Nice and cosy
Awesome setting
Heavy trucks passed by all night, which cause the whole house to rock and roll.
Everything it's was absolutely beautiful 😍
Not enough time there 😂
Beautiful location- nestled away in the trees & surrounded by flowers. Had everything I needed to make a nice dinner and Deb, the host was very helpful- even gave me a great tip on where to go hiking in the morning.
The only challenge is that large trucks on the road can be heard, but still 99% quieter than anywhere else I’ve stayed!
Couldn't have been better, a great place to relax after a day on the road.
The unique location and the unique type of property
Great cottage, perfect for a the short rural break we were looking for.
We only spent the night while passing by, but the villa was lovely and very comfy. Breakfast was left for us to help ourselves to and we loved waking up to the birds chirping in the morning.
Great, friendly hosts, lovely location and nice accommodation. Excellent value.
Nothing
The cottage was lovely, nestled in the trees at the bottom of the farm. Cosy and warm with plenty of heating and extra blankets if needed. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics. It reminded us of your grandma's bach, very homely. John was an awesome host who showed us around the farm and the new baby lamb. The dumpling cart on the property was an easy and delicious option for Saturday night takeaways (get the dessert ones too). We will definitely be back!
There was no extracter fan in the bathroom which made me worry we would leave it damp, but we opened the window and it didn't seem to be a problem.
It was a beautiful house and very lovely hosts l.
Everything was perfect
Great little place
Nutritious & attractively laid out for us to help ourselves. Several choices of spreads for toast & 3 types of cereals & pottles of fruit & yoghurt. A generous offering.
Nothing.
This small quaint older farm home has a retro vibe. It was very clean and spacious. Everything was older but worked. Bed was comfortable. Grounds were nice.
The location was a problem for us. When I think of a farm, I don't think of the house being less than 100m from a highway intersection and that house shuddering and rattling day and night every time a big truck passes. Not good. The listing indicates continental breakfast is provided. That should be reworded to say that basic breakfast groceries are in the kitchen so you can make your own breakfast.
Comfy, Peaceful cottage Complimentary breakfast was great Dumpling truck on site very handy and delicious vegie dumplings recommended 😋
The care of the The care of the hosts, authenticity, and the quiet. hosts, authenticity, and silence
Beautiful setting. Immaculately clean. Plenty of breakfast options. Quite spacious. Very comfortable. Host welcoming. Would definitely stay again.
The only thing was it was a bit tight driving up to the property but not a big deal.
A very comfortable property with bags of character and plenty of space. Great wrap round deck, which was perfect for alfresco dining. Location was ideal for sight seeing. Our hosts, Deb, Wayne and John couldn’t have made us feel anymore welcome. We really wish our itinerary had allowed us to stay much longer than the four nights.
Nice cosy cottage-well equipped with everything you need. Good breakfast food & tea/coffee ect. Very clean-happy to recommend .
Our stay couldn't have been easier or more enjoyable. We were instantly made to feel right at home and spending time with John and Doreen felt more like visiting friends than staying with strangers. The bed was lovely and comfy, the farm outlook was restorative and the facilities were just what we needed. Overall, a wonderful stay - very much recommended.
Met by host on arrival. They had started the wood fire as it was late in the evening so cabin was warm and cosy. Enjoyed my entire stay there. Great to wander around farm. Great Hosts
We were greeted on arrival by a friendly staff member who showed us the way to the cottage. Our elderly relatives were very impressed by the hundred year old cottage, the friendly hosts who lit the fire to ensure the house was warm and cosy during our stay. All our needs were taken care of from arrival through to our departure. We are very grateful and definitely looking forward to our next stay.
The weather, cold and wet.
Quaint character cottage - very Kiwi. Lots of thoughtful touches made it cosy and homely. Deb & Wayne were great hosts. We highly recommend.
A great change to the ordinary. Very friendly hosts. A great well stocked fireplace. Breakfast food was good. The noodle van at the corner was good value.
Nothing. The building is 100 years old and very atmospheric.
quiet area, Very clean cabin. Kitchen had everything necessary for simple meals, bonus was the bbq on the veranda-had great lamb chops one night. Bed was comfortable. Dumpling stand down the hill was very tasty. The view outside on a clear night is just breath-taking, so many stars! Aprox 1 hr drive to Rotorua.
We were only two, so we slept in the bedroom and closed the door but if you use the pull out couch in the living room the water heater can be a bit noisy.
Nice location. Clean and comfortable property and good continental breakfast provided. Yea coffee, milk water and juice in the fridge.
Bit of traffic noise, but not too intrusive. Rather dated, but we understand that the owner has plans to remedy this.
Delightful cottage, old but characterful, in pleasant surroundings. Healthy continental breakfast provided. Very private.
Nothing.
Great value for money. Cute cottage with sheep in the paddock next-door. Good little breakfast supplied. Friendly host. Good communication. Well-equipped kitchen. Would be a great weekend away.
A little bit dark amid the trees, but very cosy.
OMG, this place was just it for us! Road noise? Pffft, if you dwell on it, it'll become an issue. You actually do ignore it and just enjoy the serenity of the place! Felt so homely, we didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back ..
That we were leaving .. see you again in February!
Generous continental breakfast; Cute and comfortable old cottage, stormy rain turned chilly so host lit the log fire for us, fortuitously as the power went off. Most friendly and helpful hosts.
Happy with the breakfast choice, good to have supplies on arrival. The location was perfect for our specific event that we were attending near the farm stay. Loved the history of the cottage being 100 years old.
The hosts are very friendly, the farm has lots of potential. It sounds like they have done a lot of work on it since taking over the farm in June 2023. They have got a more plans and are continuing to fix up the farm and make more improvements. Our baby loved seeing the goats and sheep. Hearing the birds in the trees is beautiful. It was also nice to be able to watch the rugby world cup semi-finals and have BBQ.
There is still a bit of damp in the cottage, Mostly the kitchen, that probably needs to sorted out. Maybe the shower could be updated at some point.
Cute little cottage set on paddock edge with bluebells and a backing of redwood trees. Hosts had made the extra effort- and were easy to communicate with. Would stay again.
