From the warm welcome to the walk around the farm, you feel like you have arrived to visit family friends. Megan and her family are absolutely lovely. We arrived late at night so it was huge help that Megan had been considerate enough to supply bread, cereal, milk, fresh fruit and cookies! The bedrooms are bigger than expected and the views and location is excellent! This is a working farm and our kids loved being taken to see the chickens, sheep and cows.
Megan is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the area and gave great tips and help.
Kihikihi has the best bakery in New Zealand, with beautiful cakes and delicious pies and sandwiches. Te Awamutu is a great town nearby that is perfect for families with plenty of activities, an amazing playground and very friendly locals.
The glow worm caves and Hobbiton are both within easy distance as well.
All in all this is a great place to base yourself to explore the tourist hotspots, but also to enjoy the real NZ in beautiful countryside. We would not hesitate to come back :)
