Highly recommend! Best way to experience the ‚Forgotten World‘ and fantastic for travelling with kids. (Nice cot available, best we had in NZ)
No internet, no phone connection - have your stuff sorted before you head there. (But you may get 3G 200m up the road)
We stayed two nights.
Helen gave us a very warm welcome and even showed us around in the Cottage (lucky us as she may be out on the farm when you arrive). Being on a farm, the Cottage provides an unexpected high standard in comfort, space, and cleanliness. Wheelchair friendly bath!
It‘s great to chat with Helen and the 1-2h feed-the-animals tour with Helen at 08:30 in the morning was the highlight of our trip on the Forgotten World Highway. (Thanks again for offering)
Helen also lived in cities before but chose the farm live as a live-style. While having 400+ sheep and a lot of other animals already, she is still adding more to the farm, often because current owners can’t look after them anymore.
The water comes spring on the farm and had a orange tone. Boil it before drinking if you want to go absolutely sure.
