More then we could have hoped for, especially coming from the touristy Takapuna!
We were warmly and personally welcomed by Ingo and Tatjana.
Both our hosts were a wealth of knowledge on activities as well as information on New Zealand etiquette.
We were properly invited to

We wanted the New Zealand feel and that’s what we received from our stay here, awesome family with awesome views we would definitely return again.

We were really lucky to find this place. We were attending a wedding very close to here. It was perfect. The owners were very nice and the room was clean with a great view. Very relaxing. Would stay again.

We spent two days at this farm, and it was amazing and we would love to go back for another stay! The host was very warm and welcoming. The animals are really cute, and tame! Would recommend !

The place is freshly renovated with wonderful design features especially in the bathroom. Nice cosy place to stay with a surprising amount of modern features that makes this kind of place so much nicer than a hotel. Very friendly owners who do go above and beyond to make your stay as great as possible.

A lovely quiet weekend out of the city with the little ones. Very clean and attractive room, with fresh local fruit on arrival. Family atmosphere - our warm friendly hosts made us feel right at home. The alpacas, calves, and chickens were a real highlight for the little ones. We also enjoyed little surprises

We enjoyed our farmstay at friendly family of Tatjana & Ingo a lot. We found it great that this family takes care of all the animals to make sure they have a high quality life. Some animals even got rescued from the unfortunate destiny. It was very interesting to hear the stories and to know more

The place is spotlessly clean and spatious with two rooms. And the view is stunning! Tatjana and Ingo are wonderful hosts. This is the perfect place for those who like to talk to locals. We were invited to sit and chat with the family after dinner. We got lots of advice what to do and where to go.

We were welcomed warmly and soon felt part of the family rather than paying guests. This is a great location about an hours drive from auckland airport and in a beautiful location near vineyards. A good stop off after long flights. The rooms have been designed to provide everything a traveller needs

Travelled to Waimauku from Auckland (approx. 40 mins away) to escape the City for a couple of days & enjoyed every minute of our Stay. Special Thanks to our wonderful hosts. My Daughter loved spending time with the farmstay family & her friend, with many animals to visit & feed while enjoying

Deep thanks for the opportunity to stay at your farmstay! As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed staying at your place. Extremely beautiful and scenic views of the landscape that evoked such deep spiritual feeling. Beautiful and engaging family, which helped us felt so much at home. Very welcoming, kind,
