Julie’s farmstay was the most homely place we stayed during our trip in NZ. We definitely enjoyed the fully equipped kitchenette and collection of DVDs in the cottage. The farm tour was extremely insightful and we (and the kids) enjoyed feeding the alpacas, lambs and the sheep! Julie also allowed us to explore the farm ourselves, which was a rare experience and we deeply enjoyed it. She also gave us some of her vegetables from her vegetable garden (which were amazingly sweet) and prepared for us cookies (which disappeared in a few hours).
Overall, it was a pleasant stay with Julie as our host and we would definitely stay with them again. :)
