General overview

We have a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom modern warm home that is comfortable and unpretentious with a large lawn area with beautiful views out to the ranges. In the winter a log fire keeps the home cosy and enjoy time in the outdoor spa - most nights it is clear enough to see stars. In the summer enjoy the outdoors area with covered deck, comfortable outdoor furniture, wood fired pizza oven, bbq and a brand new inground "magnapool" mineral swimming pool which can be heated to soothe all of the aches and pains away, we generally keep it heated to around 28-30 degrees over the summer. As we are a busy farming family our house is clean and comfortable but not a "show home". Our kitchen is due to be renovated as it is past its best in looks but it is still well functioning just isn't beautifully presented! We have a small (non shedding) dog Bear but he can stay with friends if your home does not take pets. We are non smokers and due to allergies we can only accept non-smokers and non-vapers into our home. Our farm is organically certified and we live as organically as possible. Apart from the outdoor pool you will also find a huge trampoline - family fun! We have a large greenhouse which depending on the season will either be full of veges or an overgrown jungle - don't expect perfection! We have loads of toys, board games and as Amy is a teacher & author we have books galore for all ages. Not a typical tourist area of New Zealand but we are located 2 hours north of Wellington and would be a great stopover between Wellington and Taupo, Hawkes Bay or Taranaki. There are lovely bushwalks around the Manawatu region (a 5 minute drive will find you at the stunning Te Apiti-Manawatu Gorge Track walk) or 20 minutes to the stunning Pohangina Valley with hiking trails that will make you feel like you've stepped back in to the days of the dinosaurs. We are located approx an 8 minute drive to both Palmerston North and Feilding. You are welcome to explore our farm behind our house - the track to the back is approx 1.5km which is an easy walk there and back. A 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk to the village of Bunnythorpe you will find a dairy for ice creams and basic supplies and next door to the dairy is Cuba bakery which has the most delicious food. We also have a robotic dairy where our clever cows are milked by robots and we host many overseas and local groups on a guided farm tour, search our website robotic dairy farm Manawatu for more information. Bedding configuration is Room A - 1 king bed room with ensuite Rooms B & C each have 1 king single & one trundler bed (although space is tight when trundler is set up.) Room D - 1 single bed. What to do in the Manawatu? Check out this recent article about what to do within our region. Even our farm tour gets a mention at #10!
