Relax and enjoy this haven of tranquillity on a 250-acre farm central to Dargaville, Kaikohe and Whangarei - the ideal base for a Northland holiday. Experience nature - bushwalks, waterfalls, streams and abundant birdlife including the elusive kiwi at Tangowahine - literally "place to take a woman".
Pamper yourself in the self-contained Taraire Cottage with bush spa, log fire and laundry facilities; the sunny Tutamoe Suite or the main homestead. Enjoy the best night’s sleep you’ve had in a long while on our comfortable beds with cotton sheets, in the peaceful surrounds of the countryside. Wake up to a substantial continental breakfast (included) or indulge yourself with a cooked breakfast and dinner available by arrangement. The perfect winter retreat.
Our guests often stay longer than they intended! From our visitors’ book:
"Well what can I say, we came for one night and stayed for three. Each night, after a lazy & relaxing dip in the hot tub, we enjoyed lovely dinners in the company of Pauline, Hugh and their friends. Lots of wine and laughter - what more can one want’" - Renata & John.
"The most idyllic place that has left its magical touch on us all. Loved it all - the valley, the animals, the house, the peace - and of course the great hosts whose energy and enthusiasm is infectious." - Anita, Rob & Tom
"After booking accommodation for only one night, we stayed for five, exploring and relaxing at your lovely valley farmstead. Dogs, cats, sheep, calves, chickens & human host and hostess made it a memorable stay for us.’ - Barbara & Pelham.
