If you are looking for a lovely rural farm stay, Sandra's is the place to be in. Sandra is a great host and her farm is beyond beautiful. We stayed at her place for one night on our visit to Waitomo. Her place is 10 minutes from the Waitomo caves- very approachable. Her local sightseeing suggestions really helped us- there was a lot to do in Waitomo that we actually knew.
Don't expect Wi-Fi as the place is a little remote. The approach to the place is through an unsealed road, but Sandra helped us with just the perfect directions to not get lost.
Her dog Mojo is really adorable (if you are a dog lover).
