This was the best BnB we stayed at the whole trip and that's saying a lot. Quiet and easy to rest at while also totally alive with all the animals on the farm. Adorable goats with kids and fabulous dogs. The host, Jenny, was so kind and welcoming and she gave us a lovely tour of the animals and surrounding property. Really the perfect way to end or start your trip if you're flying in Auckland. Absolutely recommended.

This was one of our best Airbnb experiences! Jenny is a wonderful host, and the unit by the farm is lovely and cosy. Basic necessities more than met our expectations; there was hot water in the bath, clean sets of towels and a heated towel rail, working fridge, washing machine, cloth rack, cutleries and utensils were provided, as well as basic cooking equipment such as a hot plate, pot, toaster, and hot water kettle, clean bedsheets, and tv. Jenny has also thoughtfully printed out a TV guide for the channels available, labeling the light switches, stocked up the fridge with milk and fruits, provided extra towels, etc. Jenny is friendly and hospitable, giving us our own private space while still being around if we need any help. Her animals are lovely and a joy to be around. Apart from just being a relaxing getaway from the city, there are many things to do around the farm stay. The beaches are a short drive away, such as Waikato port of and Waiuku. Back in the farm, we took morning and evening walks around the paddock, mingling with the friendly goats. We spent the summer evenings having bbqs outdoors.

We had a fab stay at Jenny's. The unit was great as you had your own space and Jenny also had some small gates around it to ensure the animals didn't get in! She was kind enough to show us around the farm where we got to cuddle the sheep and feed the chickens and ducks! It was awesome! She was so helpful and welcoming, we really enjoyed our stay there! It was so lovely to be there before getting into hectic Auckland! Thank you again Jenny!!

Convenient location and easy to find. Jenny is a very friendly and helpful host who took time to show us around her farm and provided helpful information to make the most of our stay in New Zealand. The kitchen was stocked with thoughtful provisions to make self catering easy.

Jenny is a wonderful host. Highly recommend a visit!

What a treat it was to stay at Jenny's place! I spent the last night of a month long trip here and was thrilled to get to experience a bit of farm life before I headed home. Jenny was an incredibly kind host. We enjoyed tea and coffee chats, walks around the beautiful farm and she even let me help out with her care of her ewes. Her place is comfortable and clean and had a newly remodeled bathroom. I loved every minute of my time there and only wish I could have stayed longer! Thank you, Jenny! You are wonderful and I truly enjoyed meeting you!

We had a fantastic stay with Jenny! The place was lovely and cosy with everything you could need. Jenny is a wonderful lady, full of knowledge and who runs the whole farm single handedly and totally dedicated to all her animals. We were made to feel very welcome indeed! Was a wonderful experience in such a lovely setting.......we will be back!

Staying at Jenny's place was absolutely great. We got enough space and privacy for the two of us. The cottage is cozy and clean and had everything we needed. Jenny is a great host. If you are interested you can get in touch with a little bit of farm work :-) We had a wonderful time with all the sheep, chicks, dogs and especially the goats. We will definitely come back the next time we're in NZ.

Stumbling on Evelyn and her place on Airbnb was the best thing that could have happened. We were near the Auckland airport and every hotel we called was filled to capacity. Thankfully, Evelyn received and accepted our semi-frantic, late-night request to rent the room. The bnb was only 35 minutes from the Auckland airport in a rural area. They greeted us when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious, clean, and well-decorated. Though we didn't need them, there were electric blankets provided, as well as movies, a TV, wifi, food, coffee, and more. It was such a lovely stay! Thank you!

Everything as described, well stocked. The living area offered is spacious with views of the adjacent fields. Quiet at night, ideal for a good rest.

I have been there before

Best of hosts and best of places. Private secluded in hilly Blooming land yet close to freeway. Great apartment. Super well appointed. More things than I have in my house for sure. Had the best nights sleep I had in a longtime. Evelyn best host and so lovely to deal with! Can highly recommend and my only tragedy was leaving!

A great place to relax and the large room, clean and inviting, also made it very suitable to do a repack after driving around NZ for the last 3 months. Evelyn was a wonderful host, warm and friendly.

Great host! and a great place to stay.

Romantic and secluded great time great host spacious and comfy can gi Highly recommend

Evelyn was very welcoming

Lovely house with lots of views and open space. On a wonderful alpaca farm. Very friendly and gracious hosts. House was well stocked with whatever you might need. There is a nice pool. During our stay we sat in on a BBQ with other alpaca farmers and enjoyed friendly conversation. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area.

I had a fun and amazing stay with Linda and Bruce on their Alpaca Farm. They are so incredibly hospitable, invited me for lunch and dinner and gave me a tour over their farm. The bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and the bed is really comfortable. I highly recommend staying with Linda and Bruce. I'm decided to go back soon.

We only had a short stay over with Bruce and Lynda which was a shame. A really lovely couple and we had a great night sleep and breakfast before heading off to the South Island!

Bruce and Linda were very accommodating and flexible when we had to change our arrival time. Their home is absolutely beautiful and they generously allow guests free run of the living areas of the house and the picturesque surrounds. The beds were comfortable and breakfast was superbly presented. Well located in a pretty rural area with only a short drive to Pukekohe for shopping and restaurants. We felt very welcome at Bruce and Linda's place.

Bruce and Lynda were fantastic hosts! After arriving later in the evening, they helped us find a great local place to eat and had tea and great conversation in the evening. We also got a great tour of the alpaca farm and their beautiful property! We would recommend this property to anyone looking for an authentic New Zealand experience. We can only hope we get to come here again one day!

Delightful place to stay! Our hosts made us feel very welcome, and the amenities were excellent. Interesting and fun to learn about alpacas. Turned out to be a great alternative to an airport hotel. We will return!

Bruce and Linda were absolutely lovely, received a warm welcome and yummy home made cake, their home is beautiful, the country setting is wonderful and only half an hour from Auckland Airport, ( and closer to Pukekohe town!) had pre arranged with Bruce to collect us and drop us (party of four) off again the next day, which was very handy! Even got to meet the new baby alpaca !! Would definitely recommend a stay here if you're looking for something interesting and different in the Auckland area without having to go near the city !!

The house was exactly as stated. Wow!!. What a peaceful, tranquil setting Bruce and Lynda provide. We got a farm visit thrown in and enjoyed seeing the alpaca up close. The setting is picture perfect and was nice and relaxing. Sandra and Bruce are terrific hosts and nothing troubled them. They were there to provide us with the ultimate farm experience and boy, we got that. The breakfast was first rate. Thanks for being such great hosts!!

Thanks Sirpa! Very friendly and easy to deal with. It's a great unit with a beautiful view over the surrounding farmland. Everything was clean and tidy, nice big bed. Highly recommend!!

We had a warm greeting from Sirpa and Brad on our arrival. The unit was new, clean, modern and well finished. Easy to find and well located. The bed was comfortably firm, and we had a good night's sleep.

Nice quiet place to relax and enjoy the scenery. Super friendly hosts would definitely book with them again!

After an exhausting day and drive from the waitomo caves, Karen's house was the perfect pitstop for the night! She was not home when we arrived late at night but provided clear and simple instructions to enter the house and what a beautiful house it was! Spacious and equipped with everything you'll need for a relaxing stay. We met Karen later on and she was an absolute delight. Highly recommended to anyone exploring this spectacular country. Thank you!

Karen and Stewart was very welcoming host and very nice person. They were very helpful and nice to us. They giving a lot of info about the local area and its amenities. We also love the house that was so beautifully decorated and equipped - a perfect home with wonderful views of the farm. We really miss Pokeno icecream, feijoas, apples, and Treasure the cat... Couldn't have been better!

Lovely gouse with a fantastic helpful host, gorgeous cat, beautiful house! Absolute recommend. Breakfast is lovely too!

房东非常友好,房间舒适,设备齐全而且宽敞。无奈行程比较紧凑,无法多住几天。希望下次仍然有机会住在这件充满慢慢爱心的房子。

Karen and her husband are absolutely lovely! The home is warm, comfortable and clean. Stayed as a family of four; our kids loved playing in the house, seeing the yard and farm. Really enjoyed the breakfast on offer-- take it up- with homemade bread, fruit grown on the property, honey from bees on the land, so delicious! A great spot with great hosts.

Our hosts (+cat) were lovely, warm, and welcoming. The breakfast was totally satisfying and well-worth the price. Our rooms were well-appointed and comfortable. We'd have loved to stay longer.

Such a beautiful place! Karen & Stewart were great hosts. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

Grey Gables is a lovely home, so spacious, and Karen has so many thoughtful extras to make your stay very comfortable. Top quality and lovely hosts.

What a beautiful fully self contained cottage. So well designed, modern and clean. Very comfortable and spacious with everything you need. Friendly hosts and in a nutshell a lovely place to stay.

This bed and breakfast is brand new, is spacious, clean and tidy and well appointed even had an air-con. The continental breakfast left for us exceeded our expectations. The rural view and peace and quiet in the morning was a tonic for a tired couple. We thoroughly recommend this b and b.

Great place to stay for a nice relaxing weekend. Everything was as described and the house was really lovely. Erica texted me before we got there to ensure we had the right address and to let us know how to get into the house. Would highly recommend to everyone!

lovely well equiped unit in beautiful rural setting. breakfast was a bonus nice fresh eggs etc. would recommend to anyone great host

Erica's place was absolutely wonderful. It was large, clean, and she even left us fresh eggs from the farm for breakfast. She really goes above and beyond. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer.

Comfy private spot not too far from shops. Everything you could need provided.

Great modern accommodation and Erica is really friendly. Location is nice and secluded but not too far from the local attractions and Auckland.

Erica was an absolute amazing host. She kept in touch through out the whole process. (As this was my first time using the App.) The accommodation was PERFECT! Tidy, clean, warm & secluded. Highly recommended. My partner & I will definitely be coming back. It was definitely what we needed. A break away from the city.
