This is one bedroom on our three bedroom house. You will be living with us.

You must love our animals as our two dogs are social and allowed inside. Whiskey is 70cm high! And Tui, the heeler cross is podgy. We also have a thoroughbred, goat, chooks, sheep and a cat.
We are on one acre, surrounded by a farm.
Only 5 minutes from Stratford. 10 from Eltham and 25 from Hawera. New Plymouth is around 40 minutes.
Visit Hollard gardens, the mountain, Dawson Falls (all within around 20 minutes).
Opunake Beach is a half hour lovely drive.

We have another room -'Animal lovers Rural Retreat" So you could have two rooms of 3 bedroom house. Access for up to 4 guests to amenities of house for only $110 per night!
