I felt so fortunate to have discovered Fairwood Farm as an alternative to staying in Rotorua. To me, this surpassed 5 star rating! It is located in most beautiful farmland! The guest unit is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Pauline and Donna are Super Hosts, and were very accommodating. They are very helpful in answering questions related to attractions in the area. I especially enjoyed my visit to the famous thermal hot pools, about 15 minutes’ drive away. I would have loved to stay longer, if my travel plans allowed . Obviously, I highly recommend this farm stay!
