We stayed at the farm for a week and can highly recommend to do the same. It’s a rural place close to Rangiora and very handy towards the airport or Christchurch. You wouldn’t believe to be so incredibly close to lovely restaurants and amenities. The place itself is full of love and the hosting family nearby amazingly welcoming. Still you have as much privacy as you wich for. As you are on a farm, the deers are a joy to watch running and jumping and children can run and play around safely. It’s a lovely 15 minutes drive to the amazing Waikuku Beach, which we enjoyed a lot. We would have so much more lovely things to say about it. We enjoyed every minute and can highly recommend to stay for a couple of days at least.
