Rangitikei Farmstay

I am lucky enough, as a tour guide, to be able to visit the farm at least six times a year with groups of Americans. It is always a wonderful couple of hours that we spend with the family and it is always a highlight of the tour for my guests, many of whom have never been on a farm and have never been lucky enough to experience the fabulous kiwi family hospitality that they experience with Kylie and Andrew. My guests love the bbq lunch and the chance to relax and just chat about life on the farm. For me personally it is like revisiting my childhood being back on the farm and Kylie and Andrew treat us just like family. So looking forward to next season!!!

Wonderfully scenic location and a real working farm where you get great information, demonstrations and lovely lunches all directly from the owners, Andrew and Kylie Stewart, on their property. A great change from the 'plastic' touristy stuff you usually get from hosted farm visits. I would totally recommend it to anyone wanting to experience time at a genuine New Zealand sheep and beef farm to find out how it all really works.

Kylie and Andrew are passionate about their family, farm, livestock, the environment and their future as farmers. Tourism encounters these days are about "the story" and Kylie and Andrew tell the story of their farm from their hearts. Enthusiasm, vision for the future, dedication, empathy and a connection to nature are some of the words I would use to describe Kylie and Andrew. Food & drinks: The lunches are always a pleasure to eat. Simple and healthy food.

We loved our stay at the farmstay, the cottage is well appointed and comfortable, cosy beds and felt like home. The location is so great, 15mins from Marton so close enough for exploring and essentials but far enough away to feel like you are away in farmland. Our almost three year old loved exploring the back garden and finding the birds and sheep. We were sad to leave! We really enjoyed the farm tours with Kylie, relaxed and informative, we all loved meeting the animals, esp the lambs and puppies! Highly recommend, we left feeling relaxed and refreshed.
