Helen was a lovely host! Open, friendly, honest and always willing to help out. Showed us around the farm and then allowed us to explore the farmland on our own. Beautiful area with hills, ponds, trees and all the way in the back: Mt. Ruapehu! Chooks, goats, sheep, a blind pig named Boris, doves; we fed them all. Amenities were as listed and everything was clean and very spacious. Would definitely recommend this place and if we're in the area again, we'll most certainly pop in again for a quiet couple of days at this beautiful farm.
