Picture book gem of a farm stay to kick back and relax in: the hills, the water running through the lush paddock, the buffalos peacefully chewing away and hearing the cows on the hills across the quiet street.
The house is very spacious and comfortably houses 5 people.
We didn't have much time and couldn't make use of all the facilities such as the massive Jacuzzi (that was all prepped and ready for us), BBQ and outside eating area. We spent a few hours swimming in the beautiful Rakaia (top notch!)/kids playing in the side stream. And Methven had all our culinary desires covered for dining in/take away (great cafes and restaurants) and has a great playground. I would love to stay again, explore the beautiful surroundings, mountains and lakes some more and -if allowed- watch more of the farm activities. No doubt, Lucy is an amazing host but I didn't want to intrude too much.
