Summary: We had a wonderful time - great location to all Rotorua attractions. Warm cosy, clean, access to animals and farm experience. Celia and John were the perfect hosts- friendly and very helpful with lots of suggestions if you want them. The kids and all of us really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you

Summary: This property isn't just for the kiddos! My group consisted of 3 adults and it was exactly what we needed after weeks of jumping between hostels. Property was clean, spacious, and all appliances worked as expected. We thoroughly enjoyed curling up on the couches and picking a move from the DVD collection in the evenings (a couple are scratched so you might be left hanging at the end). Another hidden gem of the property is how clear the night sky is! I 100% recommend grabbing a chair and watching for shooting starts and marveling at the Milky Way.The fresh eggs from their chickens every morning was a fabulous way to start the days for us as well. Wifi was spotty, but that just gave us the perfect excuse to check out the local coffee shop, Dynasti 3 Will definitely be staying here again if our travels bring us back to Rotorua!

Summary: We stayed here for the last 10 days and had a great time. We loved to interact with the chicken, sheep, donkey’s & miniature horses. The owner provided us with apples for the donkey’s & miniature horses and feed for the chicken and sheep. Every morning, one of the chickens stopped by our back door for breakfast, we nicknamed him: “More” because he always seemed to want to eat more…The owner also provided us with fresh milk & eggs. The farm has is nicely appointed, plenty of space for a family, with everything that you would need for a relaxing stay in the country. Only 15 minutes away from Rotorua, so you’re close enough to enjoy all of the activities and still enjoy living in the country.For activities, we went to Redwood Altitude zip lines & tree walk, Redwoods Day & Nightlights Treewalk, Mitai Māori Village Cultural Experience & buffet, Forgotten World, Hell’s Gate Geothermal Mud Spa, Skyline 1/2 day Adventure pass: Gondola, Zipline, Luge & SkySwing, HOBBITON & Whakarewarewa - The Living Māori Village. Most awesome was ZORB, a whole different activity.So there is plenty of activities nearby.

Summary: This location worked well for us. It was close to activities and town but quiet and relaxing. It’s an older farmhouse with animals to pet. (It’s not an updated modern place but the price reflects that.)

Summary: Fabulous stay. Thank you so much Celia! Our kids loved feeding the chickens and lamb. The simple trampoline and bars helped keep them outside. I just want to be back on that deck reading my book surrounded by glorious nature. Other highlights were the outdoor bath and toasting marshmallows under the stars. We thought we knew Rotorua well but Celia recommended some new gems. Hope to go back at some stage.

Summary: I was very glad to have booked this accommodation for my family's rainy weekend trip to Rotorua. My 7 year old niece absolutely loved staying here and hanging out with the farm animals, especially the friendly sheep - she couldn't stop talking about them on our drive back to Auckland. The host was lovely too, friendly and accommodating. House was very warm as well. Wifi slowed down every now and then, but wasn't an issue as we weren't there to be on our phones!
