We were made to feel very welcome. Had the place to ourselves most of the time we were there. Breakfast was delicious and varied (loved the home-made ham and cheese breakfast muffins). Comfortable beds. Everything was very clean and tidy. The walk-in shower was lovely. The huge garden with its palm trees and numerous other plants were a please to spend time in. The well set-up, shaded deck area was wonderful for relaxing in. The pool table was great fun in the evenings. It was only a 10 minute drive to Paihia and 15 to Kerikeri, which was very convenient. We booked all 3 rooms, so basically had the house and gardens to ourselves, which made great value for money. The hosts, who have many years of hospitality experience, were wonderful and very interesting people. I and my family loved our stay and we shall stay there again. Highly recommended :-)

Leaving!

Amazing location very close to Paihia, Rainbow Falls and many other locations. The hosts were amazing welcoming us in and showing us about, talking to us about what's in the local area and what to do. Breakfast was amazing also and bedrooms were great size and very comfy. We also loved the views from the location and seeing their Steers in the field next to the garden and being able to get close to them. In all a great place and would definitely go back here if visiting Bay of Islands again.

Nothing! Everything was amazing

Love the continental breakfast especially the hot croissant paired with warm coffee prepared by Shirley. The place is so relaxing, easy to locate, with free private parking space, close to many attractions. Our room and ensuite bathroom are exceptionally clean, love the garden view too. Shirley and Jim are very friendly and welcoming that you will feel you're a part of their family. We will definitely book this place again. Thank you. Just a note - The booking.com ad maybe needs to be updated - it says that this double room has a microwave, toaster and electric kettle but we didn't notice it in there. Though we know these are available in the kitchen area - no probs at all on our end.

Wonderful Farmstay location close to Paihia,, fantastic hosts with great sense of humour, excellent breakfast.

Subject to some sound penetration between rooms .

Shirley and Jim were so very welcoming, accommodating and charming. The vast front yard was something my kids looked forward to playing in every day (and magazine-worthy!), the beds were very comfortable, the cleanliness was exceptional and the breakfast, nutritious and absolutely delicious! We particularly recommend Shirley’s toasted croissants!

Great breakfast was prepared every morning before setting off for the day, with continental breakfast plus hot croissants. All bases were covered, couldn't have asked for more. The pool and snooker games were a definite added bonus which we all enjoyed thanks so much :)

Loved the setting and the owners were very welcoming. They were accommodating when we had to leave early.

This delightful bed and breakfast is located about 5 miles out of town, so your own transport is essential. Lovely hosts, good breakfasts, quiet surroundings.

The property was beautiful and the hosts were so welcoming. The toasted croissant and yoghurt for breakfast was delicious. We also loved seeing the cows grazing.

The hospitality was over and above. The home was so peaceful and soothing.

That we didnt get to stay longer.
