I fully recommend a trip here, especially if you are interested in horses and going for a guide hack. There is plenty of beautiful sights to see in the local area and the nearby town of Takaka has plenty of facilities (for a town in a remote area of NZ!). The farm house has a wonderful communal hostel vibe with people staying in the house and camping in the grounds. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with the little extras you need to cook your own meals when travelling - herbs, oil, salt, pepper etc. There is DELICIOUS home made bread for breakfast plus tea and coffee - but be aware this is very much a 'do it yourself' culture. You will find incredible people to talk to on a journey of their own - be that the team that help run the hacks, Sven the builder or Baerbel herself. Book to discover a different, unplugged way of living. Certainly one of our New Zealand trip highlights!
