Barb and Steve are great hosts! Their property is rural and is an actual farm (per the listing) and was the perfect place to start our Kiwi adventure! They were gracious enough to hang out, chat and share some laughs with us--even after returning from a funeral. Steve let us tag along to take the cows some feed and took us on a tour of the farm--the deer still amaze us since we don't have deer farms in California! Stay with Barb and Steve if you want a great, friendly farm stay in a beautiful part of NZ!
