Relaxing farm stay
Ivor and Rob were friendly hosts and easy to communicate with. The house was as expected and in a beautiful setting in the Takaka valley. The amenities were good. It may be good if the hosts invest in some new cushions for the couch for extra comfort as they were a bit worn, and some sharper knives would be useful in the kitchen. Thanks for having us!

Recharge in Paradise
Had fantastic time. The hosts, Ivor & Rob were really helpful and made our stay a total treat. So many things to do in the area and then relax with a beer with the deer in the afternoon. Highly recommend staying here :)

This is a lovely peacful place, Ivor & Robyn were very helpful giving us advice of where to visit while we were in the area. The bach was very well equipped and if you needed anything you just had to ask. I would recommend this to my freinds and family and would book it again if we come to New Zealand. Thank you Michael & Teresa Armes

Private comfortable farm stay
This was perfect for our small family that dont really want to be in the hustle and bustle of the main areas but close enough to commute easily. Very comfy and nice outlook onto the valley and farm animals. Owners are helpful and friendly.
