Staying here was the highlight of my 19 day stay in New Zealand. Jayne and Jeff were wonderful hosts and their home is spectacular: spacious, comfortable, elegant.
It is their family home/farm so they asked us for our preference when we arrived about whether or not we'd like the place to themselves - they have another place to stay and were more than happy to stay there during our stay. They seemed like relaxed friendly people so we asked them to stay.
They were never intrusive - they both work all the time around the farm and outside, so we didn't see them too much, but when we did they were warm, gracious, friendly, fun and helpful.
There were 11 of us staying there and we all had plenty of room and privacy. Everything was very clean.
It's perfectly located, only about 20 minutes from Mata Mata, a bit further to Rotorua and an hour from Waitomo and the west and east coasts. Day trips were easy, and it was great to come home to this comfortable home to relax after our big adventures. Finding the place was a little tricky as google maps constantly took us a bit too far along the road but once we worked out the entrances we had no further trouble.
Highly recommended. We really didn't want to leave. I suspect we'll be back!
