Featuring free WiFi and a barbecue, Tokatoka views Farmstay offers pet-friendly accommodation in Ruawai. Free private parking is available on site.

Free use of bicycles is available at this farm stay and the area is popular for horse riding. This is a brilliant take on the classic farm stay. Hosts Peter and Sara welcome you into their home, one filled with memories and moments from their own children's lives, and let you interact with a cast of animals ranging from donkeys and goats to alpacas and horses. There are also cats, lizards, turtles, pigs, guinea fowl, and our favourite, Tui the Dalmatian.

Country View Sleepout

Hamilton

Country View Sleepout, a property with a garden and a terrace, is situated in Hamilton, 13 km from Waikato Stadium, 14 km from Hamilton Gardens, as well as 27 km from Mystery Creek Events Centre. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. University of Waikato is 14 km from the farm stay and Hamilton Central Library is 14 km away. Often smaller operations are alot more styled, homely, clean and maintained than large hotel chains. The location was a little more out of the way than I was used to but still not far from where I needed to be and the farm location was quaint and quiet.

Waikato Stadium is 13 km from the farm stay and Hamilton Gardens is 14 km away. Very tidy, great location and the bowl of fresh fruit on the way in was a fantastic gesture. Having met up with the Labradoodle and their owner (one of the hosts) after dinner out we were even happier with our choice.

Aaron and Danielle are wonderful hosts and make you feel welcomed and at ease the whole time. The dinner prepared by Chef Dom is also superb. Have to come back again for a longer stay!
