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

Greg and I have 4 adult children most living locally. New to our family our grandchildren Arlo, Ada, Bailey & Maddie. There is a resident Cat Pepper sassy but friendly female then our dog who is famous with our guest...Ricky. Likes to fetch! You may get to meet Freida my daughter dog who comes to stay sometime...she is a Napolean mastiff & always looks sad.
We have owned this property for a while Built the cottages moved in then started building our home 2017 using Hempcrete. We featured on Grand Designs NZ that year (The Hemp House) We are loving the peace and tranquillity out here and grow our own beef and have chickens for eggs, fruit trees, vegetable patches and Bees all as organic as possible. We love hosting guests from all over the world and sometimes also host WWOOFers [willing workers on organic farms] If you notice some young foreigners around the place working in the gardens etc. have a chat!

Why they chose this property

Its great has character with hills and dales the sea the river the mountain and still so close to the action

What makes this property unique

Cottage basking in the country ambience enjoy the quiet & those star filled nights with no street light to spoil the view. Amenities are new and have all the mod cons-Solar hot water and underfloor heating, double glazing. Please feel free the walk around the property (don't forget to shut the gates that you open)and say hello to the animals I especially recommend a walk down the race to the end of the farm turning right at the end and down the hill to the river where you can swim, sun bake or just read a book. Country living but still close to attractions with New Plymouth a short 15 min drive to numerous beaches, cafes, Pukekura Park and of course the Coastal Walkway. Waitara 5 min to the New World Supermarket, the mountain 25 mins to the car park/information centre &cafe and numerous walks.
