This farm style was a highlight of our month long trip to New Zealand. The country road to get there was quite interesting, through amazing landscapes, but once there there were no troubles getting in to the cottage. The place was more than large enough for our family of 5, and Karen had left a bunch of fresh eggs for us. The gardens around the cottages are great, including a couple plum trees with delicious fruit. We were able to meet Karen and Bruce and had a couple lovely chats with them, and also got to experience the farm. Bruce demonstrated and let us help sheer a sheep which we all really enjoyed, especially the fiber artist in our family. Later we got to help feed some of the animals with Karen and learn more about the farm. This was also an amazing place for star gazing, as there is absolutely no light pollution. This cottage is newly listed on airbnb but Karen and Bruce have been renting it out for a while, and I would recommend it to anyone passing through the area as a great place to relax.
