A top stay with Simon on his farm near Matamata. I arrived early evening and took a trip out almost straight away with Simon on the tractor around the farm to feed the cows. Simon offered dinner which was a lovely touch and we spent the evening chatting and seeing Paddock 66. Breakfast was provided, bed was super comfy and I never once felt like a stranger in the house. Simon also offered lots of local advice and stories, particularly relating to paddock 66 and Wairere falls. Would highly recommend, thanks Simon!
