We stopped at Karen’s farmstay for a night as we were transitioning from the West Coast towards Abel Tasman. We had a most pleasant stay. The room is separate from the main house and entirely independent, providing plenty of privacy. It is clean, spacious and full of light. The bed is comfy. Karen was at all times available and happy to help: we much appreciated being able to wash our clothes. She also thoughtfully left us some delicious welcome cookies. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty.
Karen’s house is on a hill that overlooks the surrounding area - you will wish to enjoy the views from her deck while playing with the adorable schnauzer Sam.
Her hospitality is true to what you might have heard about Kiwis :) so don’t miss out!
