Idyllic rural location designed for the modern traveller Free WIFI

Drive onto our property and take a deep breathe and relax. Its holiday time and you are here! Our property is quite new & well designed with double glazing & solar heated water &floors. There is a good sized bedroom with a very comfortable queen size bed, good linen @ towels. In the lounge area there is a comfortable/stylish queen size Ikea Sofa bed with linen stored in lift up base. So there is ample room for either children or another couple if required. The kitchen has everything you need for self -catering. Supplied on arrival organic milk from Dollys' Manutahi Rd. I will also supply free range eggs when available. Please help yourself to the herb garden to enhance the flavor of all cooking and so-o good for you. There is a washing machine and an undercover clothesline plus portable drying racks in cottage. The indoor outdoor flow is ideal, and guests often use the outdoor space for a quiet wine/coffee, a meal or barbecue. Mahoetahi farm is located 5 min from Waitara, 10-15 minutes from New Plymouth, and 25 minutes from Mount Taranaki. The local sights I would highly recommend are Pukekura Park, Puke Ariki Museum, Len Lye Centre, Parititu Rock and Back Beach, Fitzroy BeachOakura Beach, actually all beaches are great. We are also lucky to have a river boundary available for picnics, sun soaking and swimming. Animals on the farm include our cat Pepper a blacknwhite female cat who has just returned to the farm, 20'ish steers, 10 hens, 1 very friendly dog Ricky and Numerous 'potential racehorses' The neighbours have the miniature horses.

Please come and enjoy our hospitality. We are here if you need us, but you can be as private as you wish also. Cheers, Gayle and Greg

Special conditions: Smoking allowed outside only.
We have a portacot/high chair available between the 2 cottages. I will leave this for you to assemble and put away after use. Linen is supplied for portacot.

Great place to stay.
This is our second stay and it was just as good. The dog and cats are simply a delight. The accomodation is immaculate - spotlessly clean and a comfortable bed. Thanks for letting us stay and will definitely be back.
