Farm stays are a unique option if you want a real taste of the rustic and authentic Kiwi farm life. Roll up your sleeves and be prepared to pitch in! Wake up to the smell of a healthy farmstead breakfast. Maybe give a hand in the farm if you are up for it; feeding the calves, rounding up the sheep, mending the fence maybe.
North Island offers affordable farm stays for travellers looking for an exclusive rural experience. A farm stay holiday is about the ‘local’ hospitality, huge open spaces and of course real home-cooked food! Our farmers have established a world-class working system in some of the most epic scenic areas on the face of this planet! New Zealand’s North Island is the smaller of the two but the most populous, though there is plenty of space and plenty of opportunities to be left alone. Outside of its increasingly sophisticated cities, Auckland being the foremost, there is a great variety of landscapes to be explored. The sub-tropical rain forests of the Northland and Bay of Islands, the geysers and thermal springs of volcanic Rotorua, the sulphur city, and the hauntingly beautiful solitude of Eastland being just some examples.
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and escape to a farm in North Island. Enjoy romantic evenings with open fires, candlelight and the warm wooden ambience of this restored historical cottage. Watch the sunset over the surrounding mountains while enjoying local produce and fine wine, after a day of exploring this wonderful area.
