What is a “Farmstay”?
Farm and homestays are an ideal way to get to meet local people and experience a slice of New Zealand rural life. Depending on the kind of farm, you may get the chance to share home cooked meals with your hosts and join in with milking cows, shearing sheep, lambing, kiwifruit harvesting or whatever else is happening on the farm.

It is similar to a Bed & Breakfast or Homestay, except that you stay on a farm in peaceful rural surroudings, where your closest neighbours are often farm animals. Frequently the food is either home grown, home made or both. Many farmstays offer all meals, this is a unique opportunity to sample country style cooking and experience real Aussie hospitality, the fact that most farmers work “at home” is an added bonus. Activities are often restricted due to the dangers involved with farm machinery and animal husbandry, however you are always welcome to observe any farm practises.
