The house bus was Quirky and comfortable with a retro style. Having the river outside your bedroom was relaxing and made for a restful sleep. The shared kitchen had everything we needed and the shower was perfect. The outside toilet was better than we expected and we would definitely stay again the hosts ( Lisa and Geoff ) are welcoming and friendly. All In all a beautiful little hideaway spot for a few days relaxing. ☺️
For travellers in search of an experience, nothing says authentic country-living like a stay at a private, working farm. Hosts may offer interactive kid-friendly activities or, for couples, a cosy haven in an original/converted farmhouse. Breakfast is often included — you may be collecting the eggs yourself!
This is a phantastic accommodation. Rene and Marianne are perfect hosts on on a small farm, which is in fact a little paradise. `hard to believe that a previous lawer has been able to transform himself to a master of breakfast creations. Everthing on the table comes from the farm. Sauna and a large whirlpool are located in the garden behind a large aviary, so that one can enjoy privacy while sitting in the whirlpool and looking to the stars.
Fabulous location with a private tropical garden. Enjoyed the lovely outdoor bath. Hosts friendly and helpful. Rustic luxury with everything you could need. Cabin spacious, clean and very comfortable. Wished we'd booked 2 nights.
A rural location on a working farmlet, albeit the property is quite close to SH60. Takaka is ten minutes away. Very comfortable accommodation with a large well equipped lounge. The barbecue and deck gave us a couple of enjoyable evenings. The hosts were excellent as too were the breakfasts which largely consisted of produce from their farmlet. If you enjoy outdoor spa baths and swims, there's a real bonus outside. Thank you to Rene and Marianne.
Renee and Marianne were excellent hosts. They provided extra touches to make our stay memorable. We appreciated the homemade food from their farm. The breakfasts were 5 star and provided energy for the rest of the day. Highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast and would book again without hesitation.
Rene and MaryAnn were very welcoming. The huge farm fresh gourmet breakfasts were delicious. The hot tub, swimspa, and sauna were a relaxing bonus after a long day of activities.
We greatly enjoyed this peaceful, relaxing stay at Rene and Marianne’s farm. We recommend the homemade pizza offering if available, it was so delicious. We also very much enjoyed the farm tour. The hosts grow or raise everything they use in the delicious breakfasts on the farm!
The BnB is a great base to explore Tākaka and surrounding beaches. Roots Bar is a great casual spot for a drink and dinner on the Main Street, about ten minutes away.
Hugh living area and a very comfortable bedroom with modern ensure facility. In a lovely, quiet farm environment within an easy drive to Takaka for meals etc. Great for exploring the Golden Bay area.
Debbie & Mike are great hosts and provide a generous continental breakfast each morning.
We would definitely go back again.
Lovely room with very comfortable living room to relax by the fire. Outstanding breakfast! Food was all from their own farm. We enjoyed the spa , sauna, and continuous pool.
