Staying on a working farm looking over paddocks full of sheep or cattle is something very special that you will write home about. Happy if you are travelling alone, as a couple, or a family with children. We are very child friendly but discourage pets for the protection of our animals. You will be amidst sheep in every room. If you have an additional group or a smaller group we also have the Cattle Stop Farmstay just down the road. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62560000/62557500/62557474/45f5419f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rural hideaway, just 10 minutes from Wanganui Fordell - Breakfast included - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 43 reviews £115 includes taxes & fees 3 Dec - 4 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-03&endDate=2025-12-04&selected=62557474&PinnedHotelID=62557474&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99740000/99739900/99739851/cc59727d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Renagour Cottage - Rural charm with outdoor hot tub!
