Our family had an unforgettable stay on Phillip & Karen's farm. Despite all the action and adventure touring New Zealand, we keep coming back to stories of our stay here: the beautiful home ("life goals" to quote my daughters), playing with the cows, trying to pet the sheep (who knew they were so fast!), watching the sunset over King's Country from atop the knoll, the FANTASTIC hosts...
You may read in some reviews that there is no wifi in the Loft - note that they have now installed it and it works great. Everything was very clean, roomy and comfortable. Wonderful breakfast and snack options. Fully outfitted kitchen. There is also a book of local menus and recommendations in the Loft. Very close to the towns of Te Kuiti and Waitomo, but not so close to distract from the serene views and night sky at the farm. Be sure to get there early to enjoy the farm, a surprise highlight of our 2 week vacation!
Thank you again Karen and Phillip!
