It was a wonderful experience for us. Julie took us to a farm tour. We got to feed the lambs, cows and alpaca. Julie was so kind to give us some home grown vegetables for our dinner. This is a truly New Zealand style farm, nice and quiet and makes us experience something that's truly local instead of some tourist attractions. The cottage is in a separate from the house which offers lots of privacy for the house. Overall, awesome experience ! Highly recommend it.
