Feather Hills Farmstay
Overview
Located in the heart or rural Waikato, we welcome international travellers to come and stay with us at our home in the hills of Tirau, South Waikato on our dairy farm. We are only a minute or two off State Highway one and only 5 minutes drive to our local small town of Tirau - famous for its corrogated iron giant Dog & Sheep sculptures plus other sculptures. You will need a car to get here and to visit any local attractions, although a bus pickup/dropoff in Tirau may be a possibility. We have worked in the tourism industry in NZ and Europe before our farming days so we can help you with planning your holiday in NZ. We have a cat, a Fox Terrier dog, chickens who are friendly and provide fresh eggs for your breakfast, and lots of cows - fresh milk from the farm, a big garden - which provides us with lots of vegetables. Also there are some lovely views from the top of our farm over looking the rolling hills around us if you want to go for a walk. We have 2 daughters 12 & 13yrs old who love to show you the animals, play board games if you want to or learn about the country you have come from. We are close to Lake Karapiro and the waikato river trails, Hobbiton Movie Set , cougar park mountain biking park and only a 40 - 50 minute drive from Rotorua, Mt Maunganui and Hamilton.
