We live in a beautiful rural setting on our working sheep- and beef farm with Henry (mostly Pomeranian) and Billie (mostly ShihTzu) our loved “rescue dogs”.  Easy to find and get to, being just 500 metres off State Highway 4.  We are halfway between Auckland and Wellington and conveniently located on the popular tourist route from the Coromandel to Taranaki.  Our closest town is Taumarunui (15mins), the start of the Forgotten World Highway, Mt Ruapehu (30mins) and Tongariro National Park (45mins) are easy scenic drives for great activities.

With our great location, tramping, snow activities, canoeing, jet boating, golfing, fishing, mountain biking – to name a few – is on our doorstep.  Enjoy walking to the highest point on the farm from where you can see all four volcanic peaks (Mt. Ruapehu, Mt. Ngauruhoe, Mt. Tongariro and even Mt. Taranaki if you are lucky on a clear day). Pre-booked farm-tours are available with Melvin of Justin who will accompany you in one of the farm vehicles for more information and history.  Please visit our Romney Sheep website for more about our stud rams.

We highly recommend the magical experience of the Kakahi glowworms – a short drive from the farm – featured in the National Geographic article.

Please keep in mind that travel times in New Zealand can be deceiving in relation to the kilometres as most of the road are through scenic hill country.
