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

Summary: Great place in the countryside - we all enjoyed this. The animals are really friendly, and the kids loved feeding them. Close to attractions with really great hospitality; everything we needed was there.

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!

Summary: Loved the warmth and comfort, quiet surrounds and the animals. Hot water pressure in shower a little low but an absolute minor thing with the positives outweighing this easily

Summary: A lovely little home away from home for our family of five. The kids loved the toys, sharing a room, visiting the chooks and sheep, and jumping on the trampoline, and we loved having everything we needed for meals, a bathtub, and enough room.
