As seasoned Air BNB veterans we think you should go completely out of your way to stay in this place! It's unique. You will experience true Kiwi hospitality with the nicest and most hospitable couple on Earth. The highlights for us were just fitting into farmhouse family life, Pixie the guide dog was in training. Pinky the kune kune pig was needing fed, and the other eight pigs!!! then Boris the pig was stealing apples and a cow needed moving from the top paddock. In between we ate homemade haloumi cheese and ate freshly baked sourdough and poached farmhouse eggs, and gelato and freshly made coffee!!! all prepared by our amazing hosts. Please keep in touch so we can host you wherever we are be it Auckland or in the South Island :-) xxx
