Amazing place to stay

A colleague and myself stayed for 5 nights while we were in Palmerston North for work. What a lovely place to stay. Everything you could want for a comfortable stay. Home away from home. Thank you to Craig and Kate for a great stay.

The best farm stay!

Wendy communicated really well before hand so no problems there. Was there at check in and welcomed us and showed us around and introduced the dogs!The property was fantastic to walk around, engage with the animals and get involed as much as we wanted - without any pressure.The puppies were a fantstic suprise and the hardest part of this trip was not to go home with a new puppie.Myself/ my wife and two daughters loved the stay and will come back.Highly recommended!

A beach bach in the country!

Absolutely loved the location, tranquility, comfort and friendly family vibe of this cute cottage. I stayed by myself but will be back with my family. Note - no wifi or TV so it's a true de-connecting experience and it's great for the soul.
