Had a very homely atmosphere which made us feel like we were staying a weekend with friends rather than tenants at a B&B. As this is a Farm, its a very quiet place to stay and its suitable for a couple who have a love for animals, as there are two awesome resident pet dogs that love lots of attention! Overall found it was good value for a 2 night stay and it was lovely getting to know our hosts. ![Resident cat](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8556ef68-77ec-495a-99ba-0de4699a56c1-1761820725782.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![One of the resident dogs](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83e72c19-7419-4bb0-a9cc-3fba5dafc586-1761821063792.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the Kitchen of Mt Taranaki](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30c95406-869b-4c55-9353-87eb4b93500a-1761821086346.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lynda Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tammy C. 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location ##### Tammy C.
