Your kids would love this place. Our kids (and adults) had fun feeding the sheeps, the pigs and the goats. Plenty of space to run around. Its a farm stay, a stone throw away from Auckland.
The one tiny setback from the stay will be, inside the house, does not have a kitchen sink. You will need to send all your stuff to be washed downstairs either at the sink or at the dishwasher located below the living area.
We had a great time at Rory's place. Clean, cosy and feels very close to nature.
