Our stay at the gorgeous Barn and Bivvy
This property was everything we wanted and more! There were 11 of us ranging from 10 to 68 years old. The house is set in the rolling green farmlands of New Zealand. It’s only about a 7 minute drive to a grocery store and centrally located to many fun places. (Glowworm caves and Hobbiton are each only about a 45 min drive away) There are chickens on the property and we were able to gather eggs each morning to add to our breakfast. The house had beautiful windows that allowed for us to enjoy the stunning sunsets each night while eating dinner. The owners were amazing to work with! They responded so quickly to every question and were a huge part of making this such a relaxing trip! I have stayed at many VRBOs and have worked with many hosts, and this one is one of my very favorites. Many houses can be beautiful, but when you are fortunate enough to find a beautiful home WITH an outstanding host, it makes all the difference in the trip! I 100% recommend The Barn and Bivvy to anyone looking for an incredible, family-friendly, peaceful home with a great host during your adventure!

Perfect for work group stay
Everything we needed for our team planning retreat. Pity that the weather wasn't that good, so we didn't get to try the spa pool and fire pit area out. Would highly recommend.
