10/10 - would recommend to anyone who is looking for a flexible, low-fuss stay. The cottage is exactly as pictured - clean, cozy, comfortable, and perfect for families or two couples. There’s lots to do on site (tennis, swimming, puzzles, games, reading by the fire), or it’s a quick drive to tourist sites like Hobbiton or Waitomo caves.
But the real gems are Bayley and Josh. They are friendly, funny, easy going, warm, and open. They are equally happy to let guests have their space, or open to showing them around the farm. Our 7 year old even got to bottle feed a 3-hour-old baby calf!
This places makes me wish we lived in New Zealand so we could come here again and again.
