Farmstay vacation rentals in Far North District

We thoroughly loved our stay at this luxurious villa. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for that something special! Joe and Robert were very welcoming and gave us some good local tips for the area.

One of our last places to stay during our trip in NZ and again we are lucky! The beautiful view, the hot tub, the tranquility, stargazing at the deck in stargazing-rocking chaires, the enormous pampering with fish by hosts Vanessa and Steve and their lovely assistant Sandi who was always up for a pet. A lovely house on a beautiful location with beautiful bays and beaches for swimming and snorkeling, where Steve and Vanessa even had snorkels and diving goggles to borrow. We enjoyed it here!

I enjoying seeing how cleverly they'd arranged their almost off-grid life and some interesting conversation.

We had a wonderful stay at Ryan’s place! The house is truly special — full of character and charm, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The highlight for us was definitely the pool — the kids absolutely loved it and spent hours splashing and playing. Ryan was a great host, responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this home for families looking for a fun and memorable stay!

It was pleasure to stay there. Irma was so kind.

The stay in the beautiful apartment, situated in a unique orange orchyard, was lovely. It is a clean, well equipped, modern apartment and it is very quiet with a lot of privacy. Its is quite close to the town centre and there are a lot of beautiful walkways, waterfalls and historic sites in the surroundings. Claes and Inga are very hospitable people, giving us some fresh fruits as we arrived. We loved our stay and we can highly recommend the apartment.

It was a very nice, relaxing stay in the wonderfully designed accommodation with the beautiful garden area. The hospitable Keri made it easy for me to feel at home the whole time. The very nice pool is a must, it makes the stay even more perfect. The location is a dream. The center is easy to reach and the many trails invite you to explore the beautiful landscape. I can recommend the accommodation without reservation.

A charming beachfront property with an old homestead along with a modern studio/cottage. We stayed in the cottage. It was well equipped with everything we needed. Sue and James were excellent hosts with plenty of local knowledge and great suggestions for activities with our children. The kids fished in the stream and played on the swings. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, kiwi holiday experience!

Maryanne and Gary were extremely welcoming during our stay and had great communication for any of our needs. The tiny house was perfect for my partner and I for our holiday, I would definitely come back again! I also loved meeting the Scottish highland cows!

Gorgeous! Well located, beautiful private cottage. You cannot go wrong booking with Steve, Dot and Charlie. Wish we had time to stay longer; will definitely return.

Superb little apartment - glorious view of sunrise over sparkling water. Sailboats bobbing on their tethers, cheeky air and land birds feeding and calling in the gardens at the edge of the deck. Comfy chairs positions with plenty of cushions and lap blankets to make the most of the setting evening sun on our backs. Bed was extremely comfortable, lovely bedding. Bathroom clean, spacious and very well appointed. Great BBQ, good 2 burner cooker, oven looked good but we didn’t use on this visit. Apartment was stuffed to bursting full of goodies to make use of - every drawer and the fridge filled with every implement/condiment/sauce/spice you might want to use. Manon and Neville were very generous, attentive hosts - thank you.

Wow. The Retreat certainly ticks all the boxes. Wonderful views over 2 stunning beaches. Amazing separate viewing deck with sun loungers to soak up the sun whist looking at that view. Luxury fixtures and fitting including thick fluffy towels and crisp white bed linen. Comfy beds and pillows Kitchen with all the kit to self cater including proper coffee machine. Quality outside sofas with thick cushions. 2 identical very private bedrooms with fly screens so the air flows at night, keeping the rooms cool and own large en suite bathrooms. Responsive friendly host. Best Airbnb we have stayed in for attention to detail. Thank you Angela

Shane and Kiki have created an awesome one-of-a-kind experience. We could feel the passion and creativity they have invested in this place. We wanted a true Kiwi experience and we felt like we were with friends. Shane is super enthusiastic about creating a space for people to feel welcome, have fun and connect with others. Kiki is so lovely and thoughtful, ex. filling up the water jugs in our fridge. At night, he set up the gazebo for us with lights, music & even a fire pit. We all loved roasting marshmallows & chilling on the bean bag chairs while chatting with other guests & watching music videos on the BIG screen. Since Shane was a DJ for many years, the playlist was awesome. The kids (10 & 13) loved running around and playing on the swings & with the cats. Since it's a private and safe property, we felt comfortable letting them roam. The icing on the cake was spinning the firesticks. Make sure to check out the digital guidebook he has made - it has so many LOCAL recommendations.

Beautiful and peaceful place

Great space and such friendly family. We stayed for three nights and it was great location for exploring the north. Cape R less than an hour and visit the Gumdiggers is a must. Everything was as Shane and Kiki describe. The gazebo are is fun in the evenings and a great space to chill.

Thank you Ashley and Bart for going out of your way to look after us during Cyclone Tam! We booked on the day and it was a perfect spot to seek respite from the storm. A real treat and I would definitely recommend to others. Perfect hosts. 😊

We were so comfortable; quiet, peaceful surroundings; well equipped kitchen with lovely surprise of duck and hens' eggs, organic milk, a variety of teas and regular and decaf coffee. Comfortable sofas and chairs with good back support. Great WIFI. Spotlessly clean throughout. Sister Irini and Prior Rob are warm, friendly people who make you feel part of the place. We won't forget our stay at this wonderful sanctuary. Highly recommend anyone needing a break from a busy daily life- you can really unwind here.

Great place and location with stunning views. Everything you could possibly need. Judy was very welcoming and accommodating. Thank you!

Spacious accommodation with a private terrace and facing the orange trees. We received a warm welcome and a great handbook with recommendations is provided. There are friendly dogs and three cute pigs that you can feed and that sit on command. It got a bit chilly at night, but there are enough blankets and the bed was very comfortable.

Overall a great stay! Took us a while to realise the couch folded out to a bed and there were a few spiderwebs/bugs but that’s a given. The views were stunning and the overall vibes were amazing. Loved the spa and basketball hoop. Thank you Shelly for being a great host!

We loved our stay here. Beautiful, private area and wonderful hosts. Highly recommend the hot tub!

It's unfortunate that five stars is the "default" review rating on Airbnb because it doesn't give you the opportunity to highlight those extra special stays. Haneka's place is worthy of all the five stars and then some. Haneka was friendly and accommodating, made us wonderful breakfasts every day, but respected our privacy and allowed us to enjoy the peace of the space at the same time. The space had everything we needed for sleeping, cooking and relaxing. Highly recommended.

Literally one of the most beautiful places on earth. A very special experience. Thank you Christine - the consummate host.

I booked this accommodation for my colleagues, and they loved it. It was the perfect place for what they needed while working away from home. A lovely and cozy spot with beautiful, peaceful surroundings and gorgeous animals. The communication with the hosts was excellent, and they were flexible with our needs. I would definitely book again in the future.
