Relaxing getaway
Wendy hosted us at her beautiful farm home. An evening walk feeding the animals was a highlight! Wendy is very welcoming and made us feel right at home. Was a lovely get away having the peaceful garden and farm as a backdrop as we enjoyed some dinner from a local restaurant. Would return in a heartbeat. Thanks to Wendy for opening up her home for others to enjoy a bit of the farm lifestyle :)

A Vision and A Mission
The studio itself is not the most spacious for a big family stay. The air conditioning is in the bedroom with the queen bed. The sofa bed in the loungeroom has enough blankets to keep warm during winter stay. Kitchen unit is in the loungeroom with the TV on top attached to the wall. Light cooking is possible, along the lines of pot noodles and a quick sandwich with the microwave. What gives this place its light is the people behind it. Wendy is an exceptional host, accommodating and polite in attending to her guests. The studio is her vision to bring exposure of farm life to the urban world, and we had the opportunity to listen to her mission in giving a down-to-earth farm experience to adults and children alike, many whom may have only touched smartphones and laptops in their entire lives. Little touches of decorations in the studio providing information of the Aotearoa birds and plants, famous words related to the Kiwis as well as the studio's construction are testimonies of her effort. Gum boots are provided for guests during the farm tour, size permitting. The animals are a curious bunch. Expect mud action when picking your attire, its a farm after all. On a sunny/dry day, there are plenty of farmland to stroll, with open stream just behind the studio. Very dark surroundings at night, perfect for stargazing. A very thought-provoking stay for us, with good company by Wendy and Sheila. Highly recommended.
