Farm Shack with 5-Star River & Sunset Views
Riverside R&R Farmstay
A simple farm cabin with 5-star river views offering a country getaway. This Off-grid Farm Cabin is fully solar/gas-powered and overlooks the Waikato River and near paddocks. You could witness ducks flying one day to horses the next, all while watching the sunset.
Quiet, private & beautiful. It feels remote but is close to town & halfway between the cities of Auckland & Hamilton. Highway-10mins
Auckland airport-40mins (if there is no traffic congestion)
Local Tuakau amenities, food stores, bar & restaurant-10mins
Pukekohe's shop chains eg; Warehouse & restaurants-20mins
Halfway between Auckland & Hamilton
A central but remote feeling getaway
Cabin: Private single open plan room (plus a bathroom & Kitchenette) overlooking paddocks and the Waikato River.
Environmentally conscious farm - only sensitive cleaning products used & supplied.
WALKING & FARM TOUR (FREE)
Subject to availability & time. Brief health & safety induction required. Requesrs for safe ‘livestock free’ walks & half hr farm tours are best to be pre arranged/made at the time of the cabin request.
Mobile reception is low inside the cabin but Free Wifi is supplied.
Some board games, cards and books are also supplied. There is no TV.
Being off-grid means we are not connected to the national power grid & means normal operation of lighting, phone chargers, laptops, tablets, water pump ,washing machine but no high power drawing items such as heater, dishwasher, clothes dryer, electric blankets, toaster (there is a camp one), kettle (there is a gas stove top billy). If you need short term use of a high drawing appliance such as a hair dryer (or other heated styler), iron etc please advise - we have an onsite generator to top up the power batteries & simply need to be aware to monitor the voltage more intently when such appliances are to be used.
Note: There is a Gravel road & driveway for approximately 1.2kms from State Highway 22 to your cabin.
There is a fireplace for winter use only. This is an operational dry stock farm. Hazards, animals & farm vehicles and machinery will be about. Farm noises & smells.
Please be cautious and please do not feed the animals as this can make them a nuisance and/or naughty.

A hidden treasure: the wee 'farm shack' cabin was spick & span, comfy, with a small deck looking out over the Waikato. Bonus of visiting horses, cheeky chickens & baby goats frolicking in the paddocks. Rita is an excellent host. Five stars
