I am a member of a tramping/hiking group and seven of us stayed at Sherice's place. We had a wonderful weekend. The Shearers' Quarters are very comfortable, the beds are great and the kitchen has everything you need in it. The Waingaro Hot Springs are about a 15 minute drive away.
We climbed the 309m Pongawhakatiki, walked through a large bush area along a newly cut track and returned to our accommodation across farmland. This took four hours. The bush is in good condition with a lot of undergrowth. Pest control has been carried out. There are many other places to explore on this large farm and we will do so on our next visit.
Highly recommended.
