Not the most pleasant end to our New Zealand trip...
The farm itself is certainly a very nice plot of land and it was nice to see some animals on site, although we spent most of our time exploring Wellington. Jimmy was friendly and communicated well to ensure we got to the location easily and greeted us on arrival. There was enough bed space for the 3 of us and the linen was clean.
However, upkeep of the space was poor. The entire floor (including wet areas i.e. toilet and shower) is carpeted and the fact that we were on a farm spelt disaster. Everything from the farm grounds and beyond from previous tenants had clearly been left behind on the carpet and it left a musty smell in the room. To make matters worse, it had been raining that day and there were fresh mud (and animal poo?) stains on the carpet. We normally remove our shoes before entering a home to keep the space clean but this was one space where we felt very uncomfortable walking around barefoot.
Furthermore, after spending the bulk of the day exploring Wellington, we returned to find that the "bath towels" that we had been provided were actually floor mats - all three of them. It was past midnight then and we didn't want to bother Jimmy. It could have been an honest mistake, but that wasn't a very pleasant part of the stay either.
All in all, I'm sorry but I wouldn't be rushing back to stay here again. I've certainly stayed in much worse for $7 a night in other parts of the world but we had a pretty good run through the rest of North Island and that was just a bit of a downer for the tail end of our trip.
