Barberry Hill

log fire, a full kitchen, peace and quiet of the farm, the raw milk in the bottle in the fridge, the comfortable couches and bed. The garage which was under the accommodation all internal access. The host was very friendly and we only saw her once the 2 days we were there. We were hoping a cow near the house would calve but alas she didn't. It was a cold windy & wet winter weekend so perfect for hunkering down with the fire going and purely relaxing. Just what we needed. The breakfast supplies were abundant.

all the windows that open need a really good clean around the frames, as they had a build up of mildew and mould from the condensation. These windows were the ones not double glazed. The deck could do with a good scrub or water blast. The 1 ply toilet paper. Maybe keep some insect spray in the kitchen as when we arrived we had to get rid of a very big wasp.

Honestly best views of our entire trip!!

Such a beautiful serene space. Everything we needed and great location.

What a hidden gem! I absolutely loved my stay at Barberry Hill. Facilities are top-notch and it is only a short drive in to Stratford for the restaurants. Hosts were very friendly. Views from the room towards Taranaki Maunga were insane at both sunrise and sunset. Breakfast was excellent, loved the eggs! There is a log fire for heating, I found it best to light in the mornings and the room would then stay warm enough the entire day. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here for adventures around Taranaki, or just to rest!

L'accueil par la propriétaire est très convivial.et chaleureux. L'appartement, immense, très propre, au calme, est très, très bien équipé. La literie est confortable. La vue sur Taranaki Mount est extraordinaire. Le petit déjeuner est exceptionnel.

RIEN !!!!!!

Sehr gut ausgestattete Lodges mit tollem Blick in die Landschaft rundum. Etwas außerhalb gelegen, ist aber mit dem Auto kein Problem. Nach Stratford sind es 5 Minuten mit dem Auto.

Amazing location and view. Loved the accommodation especially the dining table and kitchen. Brilliant for cooking and sharing our evening meals with our 2 travelling companions who stayed in the other unit. The log burner was lovely.

Unfortunately it turned very cold.

👍 perfect for what we were wanting, lots of room for our trailer in a very nice spot looking at the mountain. Perfect accommodation

Lovely country side/ working farm location. Ample parking for our vehicles and trailers.

The only thing that would be helpful for a group staying - our group of four used both studio accomodation rooms; would be having a seperate bedroom space, as sharing one space was the only downside for us.

房东人很nice，房子很舒服

都很好

How quiet it was

Fantastic outlook from a hill setting and unique barn like accommodation. Very comfortable with great amenities.

No issues at all

It was the ultimate farm location with food from the farm

The facilities are high quality with masses of space

It is a beautiful property and the accommodation was great. Had everything you could need. Was very comfortable and a wonderful view from the balcony.

Loved it all

Lovely place all round and good to have car undercover, and wood stove

Shower wasn't very hot

We liked the location, surroundings, the breaky, the place itself exceeded my expectations, we were very happy and enjoyed every minute.

everything, great location, great view, warm and cozy

Very comfortable and spacious barn conversion on a dairy farm, with views of mount Taranaki. We didn’t want to leave!

This was probably our favourite spot of the whole trip! Such a beautiful, peaceful location and very clean. There was a cute and comfortable cot for our baby also. The breakfast supplies were much appreciated. We’d have liked to stay another night or two - lots to see around this area also!

As other reviewers have said the bed is very hard! I like firm beds but it was on the hard side even for me, and my husband who prefers medium-firm kept getting a numb arm when sleeping on his side. We’d come back regardless because this place is marvellous but a new mattress would make it perfect!

Great place to stay with all facilities as promised. The breakfast basket was amazing.

The bed was very hard and the shower didn't go hot enough.

Spacious and clean and a good view from the unit. Liked the milk that was supplied.

The DVD player didn’t work and they didn’t put it right.

Lovely breakfast, great facilities

The BBQ was unusable..rusty & unclean

Owner was helpful, very obliging and very hands-off, as a farmer he needed to be out on the farm, so not always available. Huge room with windows on all sides, a balcony and great long distance views including Mt Taranaki. The apartment is in the roof of a barn beneath which you can park your car and use the washing machine and dryer which was a lifesaver! Also able to give the car a quick wash to clear the dust we’d accumulated. Breakfast was fantastic including fresh farm eggs and milk, and was presented in a basket on arrival together with cereals, jams, bread, and other, etc.

Bed was a bit on the hard and creaky side and the sheets were clean but exceptionally crumpled - a bit off-putting being as they were hard cotton of good quality. Room was very hot by evening and lots of flies if we opened windows (it is a farm environment after all).

Lovely place lovely hosts

Great views and only 5 min to town. Loved the open plan and had everything you needed including fresh farm milk.

The bed was too hard for our liking.

Cow

Nothing

It had everything we needed. Lovely location.

Nothing we can think of.

The breakfast basket was just perfect. The view from the appartment was great!

Fantastic hill-top location (n.b. can get windy), with wonderful views of Taranaki (when the clouds stayed away :) and a cosy log burner for colder evenings. Great breakfast selections - plenty of options to pick from, and all fresh and tasty.

Marty's place is wonderful and she was very welcoming. Easy instructions, clean, basket of goodies on arrival as well as fresh cows milk and firewood for the fireplace, Everything you need for a comfy stay. Oh and the view of the Mt Taranaki is spectacular. I highly recommend.

The ded was hard but but not a bigger as we only stayed 2 nights.

Quiet and close to our conference that we were attending

N/a

Fantastic view of Mt Taranaki from outside deck and thro windows of barn. Large shower with strong water pressure . Well equipped kitchen , great breakfast provided

Was fine for us - but only one big room, so not possible for one person to go to bed early / other person stay up without sharing the experience (lights on or off !)

Spacious and bright. Had washing machine and dryer.

Far from town.

Everything was great, from closeness to town to layout of the space.

Clean, quiet, peaceful,away from city. Star glazing. Freshest milk that i ever have. Fresh eggs. Love to go back if i am travelling over to New Plymouth. Lovely stays.

Nothing, just love everything. Nature and slow.

Great views, great hospitality, great location.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Great spacious barn with all the amenities you need for a long stay. Quiet location but close to a civilization. Owners invited us to a a herd milking and showing us how they make and sell the raw milk

We loved the views, the relaxed feeling in the property, the breakfast basket was amazing and it was so peaceful.

A comfortable couch to watch tv or relax on would be a great addition as the two cane chairs aren’t very comfortable. Our 13 year old daughter found the cot bed uncomfortable after a couple of nights on it. Unfortunately the clear light in the roof makes a sleep in near impossible as the sun wakes you up early.

The apartment is on the first floor of a barn that sits on top of a hill. Hence the views are spectacular: Mt Taranaki, but also the surrounding hills, in good conditions even Mt Ruapehu. The appartment is huge and has a nice roof terrace. The kitchen has everything you need and comes with fresh eggs and milk. The car can be parked underneath.

Great views and living area, great for the kids

Nothing

Great location just out of town with a superb view of the mountain

Nothing

Very nice breakfast basket with Milk from farm. Location is good, view and landscape are amazing. This was so cosy and calm place. Hosts were very kind and really caring toward guest needs. Accommodation was clean and fully equiped. We really felt we were home!

Nothing, all was perfect!!

Very generous breakfast basket with eggs yoghurt cereals milk and many teas, very kind host. Shower strong and hot and shampoo conditioner ecologically friendly and again generous. Spectacular views of Taranaki and quiet and peaceful place.

Fire a bonus on chilly night. Lovely views even on a wild day

Tricky to find property.. should include Dollys Milk in instructions. Glad we arrived in the daylight. Stairs could put some people off.

Loved the size of the accommodation, the fresh eggs and milk for breakfast, and the friendly host. Also able to handle the gluten and dairy free needs of one of our party with gf bread, almond milk, and gf df cereal. Being on a dairy farm was a new experience and quite refreshing.

Very nice food for breakfast Closeness to town Seeing the animals

Felt place was damp or dusty as caused asthma like symptoms when in building. Bed was uncomfortable Felt room could have been visited each day cleaned and food topped up Generally thought was expensive for what offered

It was nice and peaceful. Awesome view of Mount Taranaki It was clean, tidy, the breakfast basket had heaps of options for breakfast tastes. Fresh milk straight from the cow was soooo nice

The whole experience, Kelly, Marty and Hamish were so welcoming and their hospitality was top knotch! We loved the location, the scenery and everything they had to offer. The simple things made the most impact, like a basket full of breakfast goods, the fireplace, the landscape and ao much more!! Thank you so much for hosting us at your wonderful bed and breakfast. We will definitely be back - Team 93r.

There was an ample choice of breakfast food The farm-fresh eggs were particularly good. The Studio is very spacious and comfortable and well equipped. Whilst it is a few kilometers from the township, it is in a beautiful location with great views.

There is nothing we didn't like. The only point we like to make is that the space for hanging clothes is rather tight and the provision of a cupboard or at least some additional hanging space would be beneficial.

Location and views. Breakfast. Close to National Park.

Nothing !

Big spacious accommodation with great rural views but close to town

All good

The unique features of the accommodation.

Nothing. It was amazing.

Beautiful property with lovely surroundings and views of the mountain. Very warm and cozy accomodation with everything we needed. Peaceful and private, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Everything was great! Very clean, cozy and comfortable. Awesome views! Have everything you need and more. Highly recommend.

the feel, very homely and relaxed, the hamper and the view

the skylights but isn’t a deal breaker
