This was a fun overnight stay, as an alternative to just a boring, super-economy-priced motel or hotel room in town. (Actually, I doubt you could even find one for this price). We participated in and enjoyed the farm feeding tour - this was a genuine down-to-earth, Kiwi experience and a snapshot glimpse into what it is to be self-sufficient and sustainable. Kerris conducted the tour with our safety in mind at all times.
The King Room and attached bathroom were compact but perfectly functional, and very clean. The mattress and pillow were of a modern, memory-foam type and the shower dispensers for soap/shampoo/conditioner ensured no single-use plastics cluttered up my Aotearoa NZ. We experienced no noise from other guests or from residents - the provided earplugs for a sound sleep were not needed but were a nice touch.
The hot-tub was out of action but Kerris provided us a nearby solution which was really great.
Breakfast was plentiful and thoughtful eg. gluten-free option, and Kerris prepared us some of the very same eggs we collected on the farm tour. Unique. Kerris also made "proper" coffee with breakfast - not that awful stuff you get in a motel/hotel kitchenette. Nice touch.
Kerris and Chris were great hosts but also left us to our own privacy.
