My husband, our four-year-old son and I loved staying here for three nights visiting Palmerston North. We enjoyed the quiet and peaceful farm style atmosphere and the alpacas, baby goat, dog and cats were great to entertain our son! We could easily cook meals from the kitchen and while our lil one was entertained by the big wall-mounted TV with Chromecast. While not really a problem for us, one thing to note is the bathroom (shower and toilet) is downstairs in case you need to go to the loo in the middle of the night. You can also use the downstairs right washing machine - just bring your own laundry powder. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others, Pat is a lovely host. :)
