We loved our 4 days in Hurford. The place was small but comfortable and set in the most amazing beautiful garden! It was a good base to explore the area, great hiking in the Kataki range, lovely beach at Oakura. Only 20 mins from the Bowl of Brooklands where went to a concert. Highly recommend

Peter our host was very helpful. Clean, comfortable and quiet. If you’re a light sleeper, the rooster may wake you up early but it didn’t bother us

Nice quiet place in the country is exactly what we needed after an all day heavy metal gig in town. A great place to stay if you enjoy reading in the sunshine, tho I wasn’t around long enough to enjoy that aspect.

Great escape

If you are wanting to stay in New Plymouth but would also like a feel like you are far from it all. This is a good place to stay. You may hear distressed animals though, so beware.

This is a working farm The bulls are with the cows for mating season The bellowing of bulls is an act of dominance not a sign of distress Regards Kathleen and Peter
