Featuring free WiFi and a barbecue, Tokatoka views Farmstay offers pet-friendly accommodation in Ruawai. Free private parking is available on site.

Free use of bicycles is available at this farm stay and the area is popular for horse riding. This stay was a highlight of our trip around North Island. Comfortable and clean accommodations but your added bonus are the Owners Peter and Sarah who not only made us a fantastic meal but showed us their beautiful farm animals and shared their lives. If you love to play games (rummykub, card, etc) this is your place! We cannot wait to come back!

Country View Sleepout

Hamilton

This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. University of Waikato is 14 km from the farm stay and Hamilton Central Library is 14 km away. Often smaller operations are alot more styled, homely, clean and maintained than large hotel chains. The location was a little more out of the way than I was used to but still not far from where I needed to be and the farm location was quaint and quiet.

Aaron and Danielle are wonderful hosts and make you feel welcomed and at ease the whole time. The dinner prepared by Chef Dom is also superb. Have to come back again for a longer stay!
