Very fun experience to stay on a working fruit farm! Anne was absolutely lovely. The place is small but very new and clean and has a great kitchen and lovely leafy outlook. Well located for exploring the southern end of Abel Tasman national Park.

Accueil excellent, la propriétaire du gîte était de bon conseil et très disponible. Le panier de fruits frais de la maison était succulente. On recommande vivement.

Kia Ora ! Welcome to our peaceful tinyhome. We are located in beautiful Riwaka just 10min drive to Kaiteriteri where you get to enjoy the beauty of Abel Tasman. You will be arriving at our Homefarm . Our section is tucked in behind our kiwifruit packhouse . Most likely you will be greeted by our flock of sheep. Why not help us feed a pet lamb by arrangement or simply watch ? Feeling fancy ? Then head down to the Riwaka Hotel for an awesome meal and some of our best local craft beers ! You will have an awesome Mountain View of the Takaka Hill and on the other side of the driveway awaits one of our oldest blocks of green kiwifruit planted over 30years ago! Once parked right behind the tiny house in your private driveway some curious sheep might greet you out the front on the other side of the fence. We have about 60 sheep and they all have baby lambs around July August every year. Say bye to the sheep and head on in! The space is very comfortable and super spacious. Once you enter a cosy living room with a sofa and a dedicated work / dining space for two you will find a well equipped kitchenette to your right. Wifi is available during your stay in all areas of your home to take of any business what might need your attention. Or you might just want to switch off and enjoy the nature around you ? Back to our lovely home: Please take your shoes off to keep our carpets clean. Turning right you will find a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine , toaster , jug , fridge / freezer, oven and essentials. The door to your left opens up a full size bathroom with a spacious shower, toilet, vanity and a small storage unit. The cavity slider door separates the kitchen living area and the cosy bedroom with a queen size bed a bedside table and a generous size chest drawers. All windows have mosquito netting as we do get sandflies and mosquito's during the warmer months of the year. Please handle with care. But in the meantime enjoy our very own rural peace
Hi there. We are a busy family of 8! My husband runs his family farm alongside with his brothers and cousins..
