### RotokauwaI Farmstay private, cosy ,great walks and views
10/10 Excellent
"This is such an amazing place to stay - beautiful rural farm land surrounded by ancient bush & forests... And yet only a 15min drive to the coast & access to 3 Sisters etc... The host & owner was great to deal with & I really appreciated learning about the current farm and the fascinating history of the whole area via an excellent book in the lounge. We visited in Summer, the place was sunny & warm & was great to have a BBQ outdoors... Access was no problem but it would be fun to stay in colder seasons & get the fireplace cranked! I look forward to my next stay & for longer next time as there is so much to explore.Thanks to the host for sharing such a special place!"
