Our
Place
Our
small 6 Ha (16 acre) farm/orchard has around 400 mature chestnut trees
and we run about 60 ewes and lambs and a few calves and chooks. Guests
are welcome to look around as long as they leave things as they find them.
We have large gardens and, being on a ridge, have extensive views over
the gardens, orchard, farmland, Whangamarino Wetlands, Lake Waikare, surrounding
hills and Te Kauwhata township. Petanque and croquet sets are available
for guest use.
The accommodation is flexible:
The
Super-King room can either have a massive super-king bed or two
king-single beds. A comfortable single trundler bed is available too.
This room has an en-suite including a spa bath with shower. TV, radio
and tea/coffee making facilities are also included.
The Queen room,
as well as a queen bed, has a comfortable single trundle bed. It is next
to the bathroom/toilet which is shared with the hosts at present (guests
take priority). The room has TV, radio and a small desk and library of
interesting books. Tea and coffee making facilities are always available
in the kitchen across the hallway.
Both rooms have exterior doors so that you can come and go as you please.
Garage parking is available.
Continental breakfast is included
in the tariff and can be upgraded to a full cooked breakfast for a small
extra cost.
A three course dinner (nibbles and
a drink before, main course with a glass of wine, dessert and tea/coffee)
is available for an extra NZ$35 per person if notified in advance.
Meals are also available nearby at Rangiriri Tavern (every night), Cooks
Landing, City Deli Café (Fri night) and Te Kauwhata Tavern (Fri
& Sat night).
Attractions
Close by are Te Kauwhata township, Rangiriri historic site, Whangamarino
Wetlands, a winery and a beautiful golf course.
Your hosts, Janet & John Free
have lived in the district for more than 25 years (John being originally
from England and Janet from The States) and have a wealth of knowledge
of the area (and New Zealand in general) which we are happy to share with
you, if you are interested. You are welcome to join us at our table for
meals (we hope you will) but we also will respect your privacy if you
wish to keep to yourselves and eat in your room. The decision is yours.
Our home is a smoke-free
environment but there are covered, sheltered outdoor areas for
those who wish to smoke.
We look forward to hearing from you.
