About this property

Rural Retreat - Free Fibre Internet & WiFi

Large 1970's Farm House on 10 acres.

When submitting a request please provide a bit of information on yourself. Many thanks.

Kitchen/Dinning modern, rest of house original.

A unique opportunity to rent a rural lifestyle property and enjoy the 'rural lifestyle' for a few days. We have sheep and a small avocado orchard. This is our weekend getaway from Auckland and is very peaceful.

Very private but close to the beaches and to Whitianga, ideal for two families to share.

Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave.

There are six portable fans.

Linen provided based on the number of people booked for.

Occupants

Please do not exceed the maximum number of occupants stated.
If the number of occupants is exceeded at any point the tenancy will be terminated forthwith without a refund. Having more people to stay than you state and pay for is fraud.

Camping

Camping in tents or caravans is not allowed, without prior written permission. Where permission is granted, guests who are camping will be charged the per person rate that applies at the time of the rental.

Pets

You may bring a pet provided it is clean and under control and you have asked us first. Please remember that we have sheep so a dog must be under control at all times. We will not allow more than two dogs.

Smoking

Outside only away from the house

Lovely Rural retreat
The house was a great size for our family group and it is a lovely setting with rural views. The location was also good with easy access to Hot Water Beach, Hahei and Whitianga. The beds were all comfortable with nice linen.The bathrooms are a little tired, but adequate and the decks could do with some work.Even though the weather wasn't great while we were there we had a good time and would stay here again. Thank you.

Lots of Space
Plenty of space with five bedrooms, lounge, dining and sunroom, and a front lawn and garden area. Good kitchen area, oven, expresso machine, amenities, etc, instructions avail for everything. BBQ needed a good clean prior to use, outdoor furniture lacking, some deck areas unavailable and/or required work. Good, easy communication with owner, quick answers to any queries.

End of school adeventure with the boys
Very good place for a large group of us to hang out, decent size front lawn to kick a ball around, large living room and decent sized table. Enough bedrooms and toilets for the whole group. Litchen was a little small but we managed if we cooked in small groups.

Great rural/beach escape
The host was really clear with the expectations and we had a wonderful time in his house. The house was perfect for two families with kids. Close enough to Hahei, hot water beach and cathedral cove. House was comfortable and had everything that we needed. Lovely and spacious. Host was always contactable. We will definitely be back, thank you!!

Home Away from Home
Too short...much regrets, should've booked longer, as the host, neighbour and areas we visited in one word Truly amazing. The house is huge, every corner had its own unique country feel. The peace we felt, was beyond words. Hot water beach is just down the road. To our hosts, thank you for giving my families and I an experience we won't forget ❤ Highly recommend

An oldie but a goodie
Big 1970s two story house. 2 bedrooms downstairs and 3 upstairs. 1 big living room, dining & kitchen area and a sun room. Outdoor balcony space is a bit limited due to parts of the balcony being closed for repair. Plenty of space for families. Pet friendly. Good communication. Handy central location on main road between Whenukite and Coroglen. 15 min to Hot water beach, Hahei, Cooks Beach and 20min to Whitianga. Comfortable modern beds, good kitchen. Set back from main road. Avocado stall/honesty box system is run from the basement so lots of avocado in season but the occasional car pulls up to visit the stall. Excellent value for money. Well priced versatile location. Look forward to staying again.

Amazing farm stay. Spacious, comfortable, like a home away from home
Our two families stayed for 4 nights and with 11 of us we need somewhere big, spacious, comfortable and has everything we need to look after ourselves. This is not a 5 star properties and the owner has stated so. But if you are looking for that home away from home, this is it. We absolutely loved every minute being here. The kids enjoyed running around in the field and orchard. Hide and seek was a hit with the kids. Kitchen was full if utensils and appliances. Lounge and dining was big to fit both our families and gave rise to lots of bonding time. Communications were spot on and the owners were extremely helpful. We definitely would stay here again and just simple cannot recommend this place enough.

A wonderful memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives
The owners went over and above our expectations to assure that we are comfortable. The house and property is near the of activities we planned to do. The love and attention afforded us by the owners was beyond our expectations. Definitely the experience of our lives. Personally I give them a 10/10 for everything. It was more worth than we paid for.

It was presented as backpackers accomodation. It was better than that. The beds were beautifully comfortable. The living areas were also very clean and comfortable. The hosts were obliging.

Rural happiness
A perfectly layed out farm house, with plenty of space, very practical. Nice views from each window, and beautiful views of the stars at night (very little light). So relaxing, and perfect for us because we were doing field work, so could organise our equipment in the garage, and it was close to the boat ramp. I learned how to make barista coffee too!

Welcoming family home and property
Our family had a lovely time here Rebecca and Godfrey and their mum could not have been more welcoming and friendly, the kids loved holding the little lambs. Thanks for the memories and the avocados. Not much we could do about the poor internet connection The Coroglen pub proved to be a hit
