We had an amazing time with our 5 kids at Tim and Ewan’s peaceful slice of paradise. They got to see some snow on the mountain and play in the paddocks on the farm - we all really loved watching the lambs play. The hosts were awesome, very down to earth and understanding. We had a few good yarns to Tim during our stay!
Important to note that if you have younger toddlers the interior stairs are quite narrow, ours got the hang of it quickly but if you have a wee one who loves to climb then I probably wouldn’t recommend (the upstairs bedroom is mezzanine/loft style with only a half -height wall).
That being said, everything really was fabulous. We loved the rustic nature of the barn and the fact that there was a cool piece of bush out back for the kids to explore. They loved the carrot park in Ohakune, which is a drive away but well worth it - we couldn’t get enough of the chocolate eclair shop which has baked goods to die for. Our kids’ eyes nearly fell out of their heads.
Thanks so much for giving us a family holiday with a bit of a difference.
