What makes this property unique
Centrally located in the Waikato close to Hobbiton, Waikato River Trails ,Maungatautari Mountain. This is a lovely peaceful property where you can come and just relax. Enjoy the tui's,
native kaka, fantails, and occasional wood pigeons that fly through our property. We also have our own chickens and sheep, one who particularly likes a good pat.
