About this property

Weekend getaway - Farm cottage

Located only 90 minutes from both Hamilton and Auckland this cosy country cottage is located on a working farm. There is lots to see and experience whether you choose to stay put or get out and experience.

On the property:
There are three QEII Reserves, which are available to explore at your leisure.
The opportunity to walk through valleys with fascinating limestone rock
formations and the natural beauty surrounding you is quite breathtaking and it is well worth it.
The wild life includes goats, turkeys, peacocks, hares and birdlife.
You may get to see aspects of the farm in action if we happen to be moving the cattle or other farm activities. Or you could just relax on the deck and soak up the view and
peaceful surroundings that this unique part of New Zealand offers.

Definitely a great opportunity to detox and recharge your batteries!

If you do want to get out and see a bit more of the area:
-The Tasman Sea is a few miles to the West as the crow flies, so you could drive to Port Waikato and enjoy the beach and the renowned sand dunes
- Nikau Caves is only 20 minutes south, you can go on a tour or a coffee fix at their cafe
- Thundercross off road bikes and cafe
- Waingaro Hot Springs under an hour away
Don't forget on your way home if you are heading north to call in to Mercer Cheese for a nibble
If you are heading South check out the Greenstone Museum and shop at Te Kauwhata

This property is definitely for those looking to unwind. Bring everything you need with you as the nearest supermarket is 40mins away at Tuakau / Pukekohe.

Special conditions:
No pets allowed as this is a working farm.
Smoking allowed outside only.
Must respect that you are on a farm and close all farm gates that you open.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to:
Clean the house, do the dishes before you leave and take your rubbish with you

Our getaway at the cottage
The property was incredible, with amazing views. So peaceful and serene. The only issue we had was that the bed was rather solid and stiff, just a little uncomfortable but otherwise we had the perfect stay!

Lovely little gem hideaway
Lovely little cottage set amongst farmland, relaxing, with wonderful outlook morning &night. No wifi and data coverage patchy, there are cards, jigsaws and books or bring your own.
