Hot Stone Creek Farmstay Rates

We know, we know, holidays are about not working. They’re about relaxing in a far-flung destination where the only thing you’re worried about is whether you’ve topped off your drink. But it never hurts to put in a little leg work during your days away. So step out—maybe way out—of your comfort zone and book a trip to one of our Stone Creek farmstays. Yes, a working farm! Run around with pigs and horses, feed the chickens and cows. You’re practically Old MacDonald himself.

Do you hear that? It’s the classic cock-a-doodle-doo of a rooster who refuses to sleep in. That means it’s time to get up and greet the day. Even though you may love lounging around at resorts, there’s something unbelievably refreshing about farm stay holidays in Stone Creek. What could be better than heading out to the hen house at first light, plucking a few eggs from the nest, and scrambling them up for fresh brekkie? You follow that up with a horseback ride through the countryside and boom, that’s a full morning.

If the kids have been after you to plan a family adventure, we’ve got you covered. Scoop up one of our family farm stays and watch the clan come together. Send the kiddos out to learn “life skills” like horseback riding and cow milking. Trust us, it’ll be a day they never forget. In fact, you’ll never forget about it because they won’t stop talking about it. Finally, you and your SO can enjoy some alone time. An afternoon picnic in a meadow, perhaps? Nothing says “love” like a meadow full of wildflowers.

Escaping to a good old-fashioned farm is easier than you think. All you have to do is check out lastminute.co.nz’s budget farm stay accommodation and pick your favourite. Chickens, pigs, cows, horses, oh my!
