About this apartment rental
Relax & feed the animals at our peaceful farmlet oasis. 15 minutes from Stratford you will find us down a quiet country lane
We have UV filtered spring water, 5.5 acres of rolling hills with deer, pet sheep, chickens, wild quail & pet starlings
There is private access to your room with a very comfortable king size bed, couch and 42" tv & BBQ. A tiled ensuite with generous shower, and a large kitchenette with combination microwave/grill, double hotplate, small fridge & nespresso machine. Self serve breakfast is included.
You will wake up to the tuis playing in the kowhai tree outside your door, and the chickens waiting for their breakfast.
The room is very private, self contained and recently renovated. There should be everything you need and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask us.
There is a combination microwave/grill but no oven.
You have a large patio outside your door with outdoor dining, comfortable seating and a luxury spa pool with hydrotherapy massage jets.
Please ask if you would like to do some laundry, we can provide you with some laundry powder. We do ask guests to limit to one wash / day. Our dryer is in the garage so we can access this for you if required.
Guests are welcome to wander through the property and its 14 paddocks. Gumboots are recommended. We have some you can use, just ask.
We have deer, who are always in one or more of the paddocks. Please do not enter the deer paddocks as they can be dangerous and frighten easily, especially around birthing and mating seasons.
You are welcome to feed the animals. We will provide some treats for all of the animals on your arrival and you can feed them when you wish. Both the sheep and the chickens will eat from your hands.
The pond area is lovely and we occasionally have ducks visiting. The pond is not suitable for swimming.
There is an orchard on the property, all of the trees are summer fruit.
We're just upstairs so just pop upstairs and knock on the door.
We love meeting new people but respect your privacy if you'd rather keep to yourselves.
Alternatively, call or text us, or message us on WhatsApp.
We have a natural spring water supply. The spring water passes through three filters and is UV treated. It is excellent drinking water, better than most town supplies.
Our check in and check out time can be flexible depending on other bookings. Just message us if you would like some flexibility.
I have several sets of golf clubs including left handed. Guests are welcome to borrow a set of clubs to play one of 15 courses within one hour drive of the farm.

Very nice place to stay and unwind. Great friendly host , but gives you your privacy. The animals to feed were great . We would do it again. Thanks Grant & Tracey!

Extraordinary place! It is located in the middle of nowhere, a 15 min drive from Stratford. We chose the place because of the presentation at Vbro and the remote location. Our expectations were not even satisfied but exceeded! The holiday flat is located in the ground floor. Grant, the host, lives upstairs. You will find a very comfortable living area and a really great kitchen. It is called a B&B, so you will find a selection of cereals, milk, juice and some cookies in sufficient amounts for your stay. Of course there is a selection of tea and to top it a Nespresso machine w/ a milk frother!There are a lot of farm animals there; sheep, deer, hens. Grant offer some food, so if you like you can feed all the animals yourself. I imagine that this will be quite exiting for kids!Grant is a very emphatic host, supported us giving hints and answering our questions even before we arrived. We appreciated that very much.The best thing was he enabled us to see Kiwis in the wild! We would never managed it w/o his guidance ant his powerful red light :)P.S. The whirlpool is a great relaxation after a exhausting hike at the breathtaking Mt. Taranaki!

Whether you want to go on an adventure in the area or simply relax after a long trip, this is the perfect place. The room was comfortable, the spa very enjoyable after a day of hiking, and the animals friendly (as long as corn is part of the deal). We had a very nice stay and we will for sure be back for the next occasion. Many thanks Grant and Tracey for your hospitality and precious recommendations for our road trip. Take care!
