BUG Review
Kaihu Farm is a quiet, isolated place on 5.6ha of farm and bush. There’s no TV or radio here (although internet is available), just cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, and Buster the farm dog. Facilities are basic, but there are nice touches, like slab kauri tables and benches on the outdoor patio. Free bush walks and a glow worm walk right on the Kaihu Farm property are offered, and offsite guided treks are available. The gruff-but-friendly, bearded owner prepares hearty farm breakfasts and roast dinners on request.

The hosts are very welcoming and really go out of their way for you. They seem genuinelly concerned that you have a nice stay and enjoy yourself in the surrounding area. If you want advice for what to do, they have plenty to offer.

The beds are very comfortable, you even get two pillows!

They will lend you a towel if you need one.

Clean, good facilities.

A fantastic dog who will lead you on a 15 minute walk if you want!

A great place to stay.....(just don't miss the turnoff!).
