We spent 2 nights at Lindy's and Michael's farm (in a bedroom with separate hallway and bathroom/toilet) and had a great time! The farm is very close to Te Awamutu and Pirongia, the Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton.
We had dinner together, Michael showed us the milking of their cows and Lindy their beehives (so you really can get a first impression of farming life). It is a really beautiful piece of land with cows, sheeps, a goat, chicken and bees - and a very lovely, helpful and funny family (the 2 Girls of Lindy and Michael are gorgeous!)! We highly recommand to stay with them!
