Helen is a wonderful host, who has a very interesting farm with a variety of animals. It is an ideal location to stop along the Forgotten Highway, and only 30km from the township of Taumarunui. The farm-stay is a full three-bedroom house with really generously sized spaces. The living area is open plan, but each space is nicely defined by the use of furniture. There is a huge en-suite off the master bedroom. The house has been designed to be accessible. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances, and there were some basics in the pantry. The house is north-facing, receiving all day sun, and because it was chilly, the heating had been put on to ensure that the house was lovely and cosy. Because the house is on the top of a hill, there are lovely views out to the east and north, and across the farm.
