Farmstay holiday rentals in Rotorua District

The photos don’t do this place justice! What a beautiful property, kind people, and lovely company. My daughter had the best time playing with other kids and we would absolutely love to return! Thank you

Such a great property for a large family to enjoy the simple things. Photos are accurate and place is exactly as described. The reserve next door makes you feel like you have an even larger backyard. Great walks near by, easy access to lake a short walk or 2 minute drive away. Friendly and responsive hosts. Our 2nd time here and will visit again.

We used Joss and Wayne's place for a team building retreat. It was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen for our self-catering, beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Joss and Wayne were great hosts - showed us where everything was and then left us to it. As well as the great kitchen, there was also a lovely outside area with a BBQ for relaxing at night. Great venue. Would highly recommend.

Peter's place is a rare find. Close to the hot spring, 30 min drive from Rotorua town centre. It is a working farm with horses, chicken etc. on site. It is such a special experience when you lift up your head in the room and see a horse staring at you through the window. We had great time there.

It was good to visit there The view overlooking rotorua lake and city is great I was worried about entering there but it was easy to go uphill by SUV I wanted to go to farm but I had no time

What a great place! Cathy and Bob are beautiful people and the property is so well organized and clean. Amazing children facilities as well. Only downside was the shower which was way too small for us (1.80 and 2m length).

We loved our stay! A beautiful and peaceful property. It was cozy and comfortable, and felt just like home for our three night stay. We appreciated, and enjoyed the delicious breakfast items. Location was great for everything we got to in Rotorua. We had a lot of rain during our stay, but still savoured every second of the spectacular view from the window. Would happily stay again!!

Pauline and John were the perfect host. John was there to greet us and tell us about our accommodations. The views were amazing with peaceful surroundings. Pauline's breakfast was the best; fresh, delicious and abundant. My husband said the morning visits and breakfast were the best part of our trip (and we did many excursions). We were sad to leave after our 5 night stay. We felt like we were leaving family. If privacy is what you want, Pauline and John are more than willing to accommodate, but you would be missing out on an opportunity to know this delightful couple. The room was spotless with a special touch of delicious NZ wine and chocolates. If ever we are back in NZ again, we will definitely be staying here!

We had a great stay at Sonia's place. The house was comfortable and clean, and walking distance to Lake Rotoiti. We enjoyed all the animals, a highlight was collecting a couple eggs from the coop. Thanks for having us, will defo stay again.

It was a unique and amazing experience to live amongst and connect with nature. Bella, Feta and Gregory were so friendly and adorable. We also got to see the glow worms which was a wonderful experience. Tabea is a kind and friendly host and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. Thank you Tabea :)

Very beautiful view. A bit hard to walk to the pod, because the path is steep at some points, but definitely worth it. Had an amazing stay

Amazing space for 2 people and not just a small space with a bed. The was a large living area and TV plus a dining table so plenty of room to stretch out. Located in a very private and peaceful road but only a short drive to Rotorua amenities. Definitely money well spent. Also included breakfast with the booking so we didn't need to buy any bread/spread or cereals.

Wonderful hosts and it was nice for them to greet us in person upon our late arrival. Great soaking tubs!

This was our second time staying at Jo’s place. It is just a lovely house to stay in for a family holiday. It is well set up for kids and the peaceful surroundings make it the perfect place for the adults to unwind. There were even some treats left for us in the house when we arrived. Thanks Jo for being such a great host!

My husband and I had a fantastic stay, was nice and relaxing just what we needed. absolutely loved being able to bring our dog on our holiday which made it extra special. Thank you 😊

Kerris and Chris are wonderful hosts, very hospitable and friendly and made us feel very welcomed in their home, it really felt like a home away from home. The continental breakfast each morning was delicious. The place is easily accessible and located in convenient location close to town and the other activity's we needed to access during our stay. Her facility's are as described, clean, very well maintained and offers plenty to do if staying around the property, easily accommodated our extra luggage (mountain bikes) during our stay . Will defiantly be returning on our annual trip back to Rotorua, whether staying in the main house or one of the other accommodation options they have available.

We were very happy to spend the last 4 nights of our NZ trip at Toka Ridge 4. The property was pristine with beautiful views of the lake. It was a quiet area that felt a little remote, but the shops, restaurants and bustle of Roturua were just 15-20 mins away. Two easy Alltrails walks were within walking distance of the property. The Hamurana Lakefront Reserve Walkway (offering great views of the lake) began just down the road and, near its end, the Hamurana Springs Loop Walkway (a lovely/surprising mix of redwoods and cold springs with lots of ducks) began across the street. A few mosquitos did find us while visiting the jacuzzi just after dusk, but did not bother us during the day. The consensus of our group was that Toka 4 was the nicest Airbnb of our 5+ week NZ stay. Thank you, Liam/Team!

Loved our stay at Corrine’s super cosy, beautifully appointed cottage in the cow paddock. All the extra little touches were lovely - such as marshmallows for the hot chocolate and candles for the outdoor baths. Corrine was lovely and very helpful. Can totally recommend her lovely property.

The home is spacious but you do not feel disconnected. Beautiful surroundings and well equipt kitchen. The indoor outdoor flow gave as an additional seating area for dinners etc. Fabulous facilities could not think of anything else that would be needed there. Would highly recommend The Red Barn.

Kid friendly and relaxing place to stay with family and friends. We love it there.

A great stay with our group of eight. Spacious room for us to relax after all of our activities around Rotorua. Will definitely return when we have another group!

Rebecca and Rob are wonderful hosts! We had an amazing stay! We stayed a total of 17 nights and were glad to have a comfortable place with everything we needed, while we explored the surrounding towns and landscape. And to stay in and relax if we needed a chill day. When we were short of ideas of where to drive next, Rebecca had some wonderful suggestions.

Tammy was invaluable every step of the way. The house is warm, friendly, and super clean. The wood was ready in the fireplace, with a basket full next to it. The beds were excellent, and the kitchen was perfect. Highly recommended!
