The sheep's retreat farmstay

Beautiful views to Mount Ruapehu. Staying on a working farm looking over paddocks full of sheep or cattle is something very special that you will write home about. Happy if you are travelling alone, as a couple, or a family with children. We are very child friendly but discourage pets for the protection of our animals. You will be amidst sheep in every room. If you have an additional group or a smaller group we also have the Cattle Stop Farmstay just down the road.
