You have everything you need, from wood for the fireplace, coffee machine (which make our mornings even cosier) heat pump, comfy beds, super clean toilet, board games for kids and adults, to a trampoline for the kids, food to feed the animals, fresh eggs in the morning... It was the best weekend ever for our little man and for us. It's in a great location to go for a short or longer walk around the Papamoa Hills. Easy communication with Nina and Smith and flexible with the check out. We highly recommend the stay to everyone, families or couples. Definitely will come back if we have a long weekend off.

We were in NZ for 3 weeks and we stayed here for almost a whole week, and it could have easily been all 3\. Not only is it a great place to base yourself out of - a short drive to beaches, mountains, waterfalls, etc., but it's also an amazing place to call home. Where do I even begin! Let's start with the most gracious and welcoming hosts. From the moment we landed on their front door step (as we didn't read directions for how to get to our rental), they were so welcoming and helpful. With a full orientation of the farm, a prompt introduction to all the wonderful animals, and to the fresh eggs, milk and recommendations, we settled in quickly. The two-bedroom modular home is spacious, has everything you could ever need, and the best part? The peace, quiet and unobstructed views of the stars!Honestly, we would go back to NZ just to stay here again! Thank you for having us! ##### Eileen R.

Kids loved being able to feed the 'bunnies', baa's and 'moo's'. We loved the fact we could sit and read a book whilst keeping an eye on the kids playing on the large lawn. ##### Aaron S.
