What guests are saying…

” The Cottage was a wonderful spot to enjoy a slow weekend with the family. Beautiful property. Lovely surroundings, we went for a walk around the farm to a hill top. And Kylie is fantastic, we had a fun walk around their gardens and animals up at their house. Heaps of room if you’re a group of 8, we were just 4. Marton (10 minutes nearby) also nice to visit, and a great playground” — James Donald – Wellington, NZ.

“An amazing place!” — Susan Murray – Radio NZ

“In mid January 2020 Kylie at Rangitikei Farmstay hosted my group of 31 Danish ( aged 60+) guests for a lunch. We did not quite know what to expect but what a treat! The weather was stunning and the farm and bunkhouse looked like something from a postcard. Kylie had made the most amazing lunch. The salads were to die for and it was all presented like a woman’s magazine Christmas issue for the perfect garden lunch. My guests were blown away and no matter what we had on the rest of the trip, they still said “..but remember the lunch at Rangitikei Farmstay”. We were short on time but Kylie managed to tell us a little bit about the farm and their practises and we met a few of the pet lambs…and the shifty goat. I give it my warmest thanks and recommendations” — Anne Kjaer – Tourleader, New Zealand
