A quaint, quirky little whare set amongst nature. Comfortable, clean, private and homely. Kitchen facilities are delightful. My hosts, Di and Matthew are warm and welcoming. Loved my overnight stay and will totally book again. 10/10✨️

New experience, staying in a farm. Beautiful location. Historical buildings. Had a good morning walk.
Bit smelly haha..
7 / 10Good·Nov 2025
Breakfast was not requested or provided, so can't comment on that. Location was excellent in that the host provided us with a car to go out for dinner in Havelock North, as we were on a bike holiday. The private deck was lovely for breakfast. Our host, Matthew was very helpful, and provided a secure place to store our bikes overnight.
Whilst the bathroom facilities were adequate, and the shower lovely, there was very little room in the bathroom unit to dry oneself. Both the bathroom and the kitchen were in an attached caravan unit.

The beds warmed up nicely.
That the Shower water was not hot! There was rain water leaking through the ceiling in the shower room.
