About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Tranquil & quiet, relaxation country style

We live in the main house with 2 cottages rented out for shortstay accomodation next door. Each have their own outdoor area with barbecues for relaxing & dining. Te Awa has two queen-sized bedrooms + modern queen Ikea sofa bed in lounge/dining area Our other cottage Te Maunga next door sleeps 2 -4, 1 bedroom with same Ikea sofa bed in the lounge area. The photos hopefully tell our story- I love decorating and mix up a bit of antique with modern. Hopefully you will be very comfortable and happy here at Mahoetahi Farm. Be sure to take a walk down to our river boundary while you are here The best place on the farm! You can swim in the summer!
Please help yourself to the vegetable/herb garden. We love to share our produce eggs included when plentiful.
Special conditions:
We like our guested to feel at home and to treat our place as their home. We value a clean smoke free environment but do permit smoking outside.
We have a very friendly border collie cross Labrador dog Ricki who love playing fetch. My daughters dog is Freda still a bit of a puppy also very friendly. We also have a black & white female cat Pepper who may come & visit, many free range chickens, some racehorses in the making hopefully @ the miniature horses belong to our neighbour's...very cute especially the babies

Not the best weather but the accommodation made it even more enjoyable. Cosy inside and lovely outlook. Very quiet, birdsong and animal sounds. Just the place I needed. Owner was very friendly and offered lots of suggestions on things to do and where to go. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The whare was ataahua. Location, decor and cleanliness was on point. My husband met the owner which he said was good to talk with her as she gave him the whakapapa of the whare. Will definitely come back and stay again. 100% top of the range. Best ever bnb I’ve stayed in.

Very Special!

Gayle’s place is simply divine! My group (four of us) actually discussed going up north and coming back just to enjoy the pastoral beauty and peace of Gayle’s place, which was spotlessly clean, very private and very comfortable. Because there no light pollution at night, we could star gaze, which was a lovely surprise. Gayle even left us some of her farm’s bounty to enjoy (and we did!). I didn’t actually meet Gayle, but her hospitality was very much in evidence throughout our stay. A Very Special experience.

Beautiful rural setting

We stayed in a modern 2 bedroom cottage set on a well maintained farm with rolling fields, horses, cows and a friendly dog. The cottage was perfect for our stay while visiting relatives in nearby New Plymouth. The host met us on arrival and was very friendly and welcoming. The unit was well maintained and supplied with all we needed for a comfortable stay. About 12km from downtown New Plymouth. I would highly recommend it and would gladly stay again. Two thumbs up

This location is ideal when you just want quietness around you. I really enjoyed the stay with my friends there. We went on hike on the same day and it was just an ideal location to relax and it is not that far from the city. Thanks a lot that we could stay there

Stunning and relaxing

The cottage was beautiful on a very quiet farm. It had everything you needed. On a farm with amazing views but a very short drive to town. While I went to work the family just relaxed and enjoyed some down time.

We really enjoyed our stay with my family. The place was everything we hoped for and more. Everything we needed was there. The house is very well equiped and decorated. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. My daughter enjoyed spending time with all the animals at the farm, but especially the dog Rikki and the chickens :). Thank you! The Wilson family.
