The Farmette on top of the hill, with great views, and friendly animals

The Farmette on top of the hill, with great views, and friendly animals(Alpacas, sheep and cattle) in the paddocks. Feeding and Patting the animals are available but must be with the owner.
My girlfriend is a photographer, if you need photos or videos of your family or children, you can contact me please.
This distinctive 4 bedrooms Farmette is ideal for families seeking to relish a serene farmland environment. 15 mins driving to Hamilton city center, 10 mins to the airport, 12 mins to Cambridge.

What's nearby

  • A few kilometres downstream from Lake Taupo the river changes to some rapids for a short distance. When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

Family Holiday

Relaxing family stay with primary age kids and grandparents. Great spot with lovely spaces to unwind after day trips. The place is very well equipped with quality appliances, and was spotless. Loved the views from the great big dining table and the bath, as well as feeding the alpacas.

Haven near Hamilton

We stayed here for two nights to be central to a couple day trips and wish we could stay longer. The property was well taken care of and comfortable. Very spacious. Slept really well. The hosts were considerate, with fresh cut flowers and sweets for the kids. There's some Alpaca, sheep, chickens, and cows on site which is exciting for the kids. Will definitely try to stay here next time I'm near Hamilton.
