About this property

Entire place

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

The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

One of the best farm stay, its extremely beautiful with all the nature surrounding you. And at the same time had all the modern-day facilities to make the stay comfortable. The house was very pretty and cozy, everything was clean and tidy and had every essential require for holiday. The farm itself was amazing our daughters loved to walk around the property and explore, got excited with all the animals specially the cat. The host was very welcoming and reply to our query promptly and help to make our vacation very enjoyable and relaxing. Will definitely love to stay again in further.

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!
