The Farmhouse Kaeo Whangaroa

Awesome communication and responsive time with Marissa, allowed us to check out a little later than normal so appreciated that and the extra treats. Great location and quiet. Typical homely feel, especially when the fire is cranking. Very affordable and clean.

Kitchen a bit small but there were 5x of us so only a minor issue.

The Farmhouse has everything needed for a leisurely stay Highly Recommend

My family and I felt like we were home away from home. Great location, close to nature and all it's beauty. Decor matched the home nicely. Loved reading the book about Whangaroa on the coffee table. The home is very well insulated, and the breeze that comes through is absolutely amazing. Our Host, Marisa was so accommodating, easy to talk too and very helpful. We left our little portable fridge behind. She kindly dropped it to family (in the area) for us. We were extremely grateful.

It was an amazing stay. Pouring rain and we loved hunkering down. Our puppy really enjoyed the grounds and was super calm.

Nothing !

I can't say enough good things about the host, Marisa. She left fresh plums, butter, honey, and rolls for our arrival. Included us in herding the cows to a new pasture and feeding the chickens, which absolutely thrilled my preschoolers. Let us keep all the fresh eggs during our stay. She even took a professional, long-distance photo of us while we climbed St. Paul's rock and emailed it to me! The beds were comfortable; the linens were clean; the kitchen was fully stocked. It was comfortable to just sit around the table playing card games for half a day.

The coffee table needed to be half the size. It dominated an already small lounge making it and the lounge mostly unusable.

Just one toilet

Private location n safe

Nice house in the middle of farm land, great spot to chill, disconnect and enjoy a beautiful sky full of stars

Maybe a second bathroom would have been nice

This was the best last minute booking I have ever made. The Farmhouse was the sanctuary my family and I needed as we made an impromptu trip to the far north. Set in an idyllic farm setting which seemed far from the stresses of city life was only 5 minutes from the main road. As someone who often stays in motels and hotels this farmhouse was a breath of fresh air and the detail and care put into ensuring the property was ready to greet guests did not go unnoticed. My family are already planning our next trip to stay.

The farmhouse lives up to its name, it was cosy with a lovely old fireplace but with all modern comforts (wifi etc). Awesome view of farmland and animals, very quiet and peaceful. The hosts are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. We arrived to freshly picked fruit and beautiful flowers - such a thoughtful gesture as we had had a long drive.

This was a very last-minute stay, and even with the very short notice, this property still exceeded our expectations. We fell in love and felt right at home with a little nostalgia thinking of South Africa. The sunrises are amazing, the house was absolutely lovely and peaceful, and the host were so thoughtful and lovely. My family, as well as our doggos, stayed, and we'd definitely become regulars here! When we arrived, the host made sure the house was warm with the fire going, we loved the sheep and cows as well as all the native birds. We made use of the webber, and the property had everything we needed.

Nothing, it was great! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Our stay at this historical farmhouse was incredible. The morning views of the sunrise and grazing cows and sheep were breathtaking. The cozy interior, especially the fireplace, made our evening warm and relaxing. The owner’s gift of farm-fresh honey was a sweet touch. A perfect blend of history and comfort—highly recommended!
