Glorious outdoors
Posted Oct. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayFabulous stay. Thank you so much Celia! Our kids loved feeding the chickens and lamb. The simple trampoline and bars helped keep them outside. I just want to be back on that deck reading my book surrounded by glorious nature. Other highlights were the outdoor bath and toasting marshmallows under the stars. We thought we knew Rotorua well but Celia recommended some new gems. Hope to go back at some stage.

Such a great break!
Posted Oct. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayWe wanted some green and proximity to animals? It is exactly what we found in the confortable Shearer Retreat. We have been hosted perfectly. Such a nice break with the family!

Lovely stay at the farm
Posted Sep. 25, 2024 on HomeAwayEnjoyed living the farm life while being close to the city. Fresh eggs, shortbread from grandma and milk for the morning coffee. Very nice host. Great family place

Perfect for a weekend trip to Rotorua with a 7 year old
Posted Aug. 19, 2024 on HomeAwayI was very glad to have booked this accommodation for my family's rainy weekend trip to Rotorua. My 7 year old niece absolutely loved staying here and hanging out with the farm animals, especially the friendly sheep - she couldn't stop talking about them on our drive back to Auckland. The host was lovely too, friendly and accommodating. House was very warm as well. Wifi slowed down every now and then, but wasn't an issue as we weren't there to be on our phones!

Loved the warmth and comfort, quiet surrounds and the animals. Hot water pressure in shower a little low but an absolute minor thing with the positives outweighing this easily

A lovely little home away from home for our family of five. The kids loved the toys, sharing a room, visiting the chooks and sheep, and jumping on the trampoline, and we loved having everything we needed for meals, a bathtub, and enough room.

Peaceful and quiet holiday
Posted Jan. 6, 2023 on HomeAwayThis is an old type house setting. Bach like. Basic and functional. So quiet and peaceful with sheep, donkeys and hens. Lovely for us all to get away from then fast pace of our lives and go back in time and have a simple holiday. It is close to all the Rotorua tourist attractions and great eating places. So there is the opportunity to be busy or quiet.
