The mini farmhouse was perfect! Roger, the host, was very communicative, provided good directions, put so many homely touches into the house, and went out of his way to make our stay fantastic. We arrived very late at night but he waited up to greet us and ensure we found our way! The house had everything you needed on holiday, we wanted for nothing - great deck area outside, good shower, laundry facilities, and a very well equipped kitchen. The bed was comfortable and after a couple of days here we felt so well rested and refreshed! The location was ideal as it was very easy to reach many Northland points of interest but was set a few minutes off the road meaning it was very easy to access but you had total peace and quiet, surrounded by fields, with a stream and swimming hole just a 15 minute walk away. The mini house was such a retreat - the host had provided some information about things to do in the area - Roger was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us plan our time there - every recommendation was brilliant. I would wholeheartedly recommend the mini farmhouse, everything was wonderful.
