    An Unforgettable Stay at Peter's Farm - Truly New Zealand Living

    I can't stay everyday😭

    This accommodation is absolutely perfect and offers a genuine New Zealand experience. Peter shows his true passion for life. We are giving it a 10 because that's the highest score allowed on Booking.com; otherwise, it would deserve even more! This is the best and most value-for-money place I have ever stayed at, providing an incredible emotional experience. Peter is incredibly knowledgeable, from astronomy to geography. He guided us through farm life, feeding the animals, stargazing with a telescope, hiking to nearby peaks for breathtaking views, and sharing fascinating stories about all the plants. My favorite part is the shotgun experience! I enjoyed every moment in Peter's farm and we will definitely be back again! Although I am an Asian, I feel at home at Peter's place! Hope we can meet Sara next time as well! If you're looking for an authentic, enriching experience, look no further. Peter's farm is the place to be!

    The host is incredable person. Super friendly and cheerful. He told us many interesting things about local flora and fauna. The room was super comfy and breakfast delicious. In the morning we tried to milk cows at the neighbor farm and then climbed on Tokatoka mountain with incredable view.

    Peter is one of the kindness person I met in New Zealand. He is very welcoming and he really likes to make discovering his farm to people. Peter's farm is not just place to sleep, it's a all experience, where you have a lot of interaction with different animals.

    Peter really is a super host! Friendly, funny, very welcoming. Gave me a taste of farmers life in NZ. Enjoyed participating in milking the cows. Understanding why NZ produce the best milk and milk products in the world. Lovely Wee Angus, pigs, sheep, chickens and lama s among many other animals in the backyard. One of the best sleeps of my trip. Felt like family.

    This was such a lovely find and I would highly recommend it. It is definitely a highlight of our trip so far. Sara and Peter were so lovely and welcoming and we had such a wonderful time sitting around eating ice-cream after dinner and playing games. We got the opportunity to milk cows and feed the animals. Peter also took us on a walk up Tokatoka and gave us lots of information about the area.

    It's a bit out of the way unless you happen to be going down that coast, we were so it worked for us

    Great to get involved with the animals, feeding and moving them, and especially hands-on involvement with the milking of the cows in the morning. Also good to have Peter take us up Tokatoka peak, and tell is some info. We had a great dinner with Sara and Peter too.

    Sara and Peter are very warm people; their home has a Very friendly atmosphere. I enjoyed feeding the many animals with Sara and being shown how to milk the cows by Peter. Dinner was delicious, games entertaining and Peter also guided me to a nearby hill/peak from which the view was fantastic, while sharing with me his knowledge of the NZ flora and history, i will remember this stay for a very long time

    Nothing at all. too good to be missed, definitely recommended!!!

    We had a fantastic stay at Peter and Sara's farm. Our host offered us so much fun real farm life experience for us, it is much more than what we could expect. Tui the lovely dog is just such a beautiful part of the experience, she is just adorable. Our kid still talks about Tui as we returns home. Not only for kiddies, we also had so much fun feeding animals, bush walking and learning horse riding skills....... It was super easy for us get to know everything around the house, it feels a home away from home from the moment we step in. Everything is comfory, tidy. It is very kids friendly, our boy loves his stay so much. Definitely we will be back one day! Thank you, Peter&Sara!

    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.

    A very tasty breakfast that was made for me including muesli, toast and free range eggs. When I arrived at night I mentioned that I was an amateur astronomer. Peter pulled out a whopping great big telescope from the garage. From both of our apps we identified a lot of stars and constellations in the sky and saw the rings of Saturn. The clearness of the sky rivalled that of Queenstown. Nice, friendly hosts Peter and Sarah. They also do farm stay. I thoroughly recommend the place to stay.
