Summary: We had a really comfortable and relaxing long weekend Biddeford school. The facilities were awesome for a large group, the house was warm and the surrounds peaceful. We made full use of the tennis court and biking around the quiet local roads. Highly recommended.

Summary: We loved it. We went for Christmas with 10 adults and 8 kids. Everyone had so much fun using the pool and tennis court. The house itself was able to fit us all in although we spent most our time outside as we got beautiful weather. We took gazebos which we would recommend doing for a big group especially if it is hot so you can still enjoy the outside without been in the sun too much. Heaps of room for the little ones to run around and the hosts were great. Our kids wanted to play with theirs which made them enjoy it even more having friends. If it wasn’t for the kids playing together you wouldn’t even realise they lived on the property. We will be back.

Summary: We loved our stay at Bideford school. Lovely and quiet, the kids loved all the animals including lambs and new calves in the neighbouring paddock. The tennis court was a highlight and we were pleased the weather was good enough for us to use it every day. Lots of room inside including a well equiped kitchen and very comfy beds. Was the perfect spot to relax while also close to Masterton for the parks and cafes. Very friendly and welcoming family onsite, the fresh eggs delivered by your son were a real treat. Thank you!

Summary: We (3 families of 4) had an amazing stay at the school. There was room for us all- and more to spare! The kids had a great time entertaining themselves in the incredible and secure grounds; loving the tennis court and making big plans to come back in summer when the pool is open. Thanks so much for your friendly hospitality KJ can't wait to stay again soon. Ngā mihi nui
