Hamurana Other | Warm calm peaceful Farmstay Rotorua with Wi-Fi (but kids don't need to know!)

2 Bedroom Place in Hamurana, Ngongotaha

Rotorua Shearers' Retreat (with super-fast Wi-Fi) is a warm and peaceful 2 bedroom farmstay on the owners' farm, converted from the original Shearers' Quarters. Tuis, bellbird and NZ wood pigeons are often seen and heard around the fenced section which provides secure space for children and parking for boat/car .
View sheep and cattle grazing from the kitchen and living areas! Feed the chickens if you wish, and get to know the donkeys, who will welcome you home each day.
Well-insulated and sited for the sun, comfort is assured with a heat pump/airconditioner. The interior space is approx 103 square metres and is topped off with an 18 square metre covered outdoor entertainment area.
The kitchen's oven, stovetop, and microwave offer the comforts of home. A fridge-freezer and good size pantry allow plenty of storage for longer stays. Both the kitchen and lounge open on to a covered sheltered outdoor living area with barbeque in rural surroundings.
From the kitchen, head to the bathroom and separate utility room or into large and spacious open plan dining and lounge area. The 2 bedrooms open off the dining and lounge. The master bedroom has rural views and a super-king / Californian King size bed. The 2nd bedroom has 3 king-single beds and a cot is available on request.
The spacious lounge/dining area has French doors opening into a private garden area and also on to the covered outdoor living area. The lounge has 3 large comfy sofas, including a sofa bed.
Relax on the covered deck and watch the kids at play on the trampoline and climbing frame. They can run and play in a secure outdoor area while you relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

Summary: From the handwritten welcome note on the blackboard to mingling with the farm animals this was a fantastic stay. The weather not so much but great views and lots of indoor activities provided by host. Celia was very accomodating and nothing was too much bother. We can’t wait to go back!
