About this property

Organic Farm stay-Tranquil & quiet, relaxation country style

We live in the main house with 2 cottages rented out for shortstay accomodation next door. Each have their own outdoor area with barbecues for relaxing & dining. Te Awa has two queen-sized bedrooms + modern queen Ikea sofa bed in lounge/dining area Our other cottage Te Maunga next door sleeps 2 -4, 1 bedroom with same Ikea sofa bed in the lounge area. The photos hopefully tell our story- I love decorating and mix up a bit of antique with modern. Hopefully you will be very comfortable and happy here at Mahoetahi Farm. Be sure to take a walk down to our river boundary while you are here The best place on the farm! You can swim in the summer!
Please help yourself to the vegetable/herb garden. We love to share our produce eggs included when plentiful.
Special conditions:
We like our guested to feel at home and to treat our place as their home. We value a clean smoke free environment but do permit smoking outside.
We have a very friendly border collie cross Labrador dog Ricki who love playing fetch. My daughters dog is Freda still a bit of a puppy also very friendly. We also have a black & white female cat Pepper who may come & visit, many free range chickens, some racehorses in the making hopefully @ the miniature horses belong to our neighbour's...very cute especially the babies

Fabulous comfortable property. Friendly hosts for whom nothing is too much trouble (they even helped us out with jumper leads and offered a battery charger for the day when we ran into car trouble). Thanks so much.

Lovely rooms and outlook. Kitchen facilities wonderful and enjoyable to use with nice outlook out the window. Bathroom large and roomy and well appointed. Two bedrooms to choose from in the Te Awa and beds and linen comfy with large wardrobe space plus drawers and mirrors to use. Friendly dogs that check on you daily and easy access to main highways and surrounding area of the Taranaki. Gayle was wonderful to deal with when questions arose. Walk to the river is a must!

Relaxing weekend away

Not the best weather but the accommodation made it even more enjoyable. Cosy inside and lovely outlook. Very quiet, birdsong and animal sounds. Just the place I needed. Owner was very friendly and offered lots of suggestions on things to do and where to go. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful Holiday!

We enjoyed and love the place. Waking up each morning seeing the sun rises, horses eating and the peaceful surroundings is worth staying away from the busy life in Auckland.

So relaxing

This location is ideal when you just want quietness around you. I really enjoyed the stay with my friends there. We went on hike on the same day and it was just an ideal location to relax and it is not that far from the city. Thanks a lot that we could stay there

Stunning and relaxing

The cottage was beautiful on a very quiet farm. It had everything you needed. On a farm with amazing views but a very short drive to town. While I went to work the family just relaxed and enjoyed some down time.
