Both Rimu and Kauri cabins are 10 sq metres and the bathroom is about 8 sq meters. The deck links all the cabins running the full length. Parking is a couple of metres from the cabins. ​ Provided in the fee is WiFi, bed linen and towels, hair dryer, all dishes, glassware, cutlery. Cooking facilities are limited to a small BBQ and microwave however there are many wonderful eateries in the area.

Neil and Joanne shifted from Auckland in January 2015 and have never looked back, finding their own little slice of paradise on the outskirts of Waihi, and now they are willing to share what they found with you. Starting with 4 alpaca their numbers have grown to a herd of around 20, almost all are adult females (Hembra) or babies (Cria (cree-ah)). The first three of their goats arrived within a month of moving in. They were just wee kids and so cute. Mandy followed about a year later. The cattle numbers go up and down depending on the time of year. We graze cattle for the neighbours so when we run out of grass in winter the cow people go home for a couple of months, leaving just a few that belong to us as pets. We enjoy the relaxed country life combined with the good food and natural beauty that is found in the local Waihi area.

Close by is the township of Waihi, a pretty wee village on the border of the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. Within a few kilometres of our farm is the beautiful Waihi Beach or numerous swimming holes in the many rivers that flow though the area. If bush walks are your thing then there are to many to name for all levels including tunnels and walks through the abandoned mining ruins.
