About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Retreat to the farm and enjoy the native bush and stream.

Looking to book in June? You're in for a special treat with BC pups to play with.

Overlooking the garden, the studio unit is the perfect space for your break away from home or stopover.
There is a queen bed in the main bedroom and fold out double sofa bed in the lounge room.
A single mattress is available to place on the floor. All bedding and towels are supplied. A digital tv can be viewed in the lounge room. It's not a smart tv but there is a chrome cast available and Starlink Wifi.
You will be warm in winter and cool in summer with a Daikin system on the wall. There is also an electric blanket on the queen bed.
The kitchenette houses an electric jug, toaster, microwave, electric frying pan and induction cooker. There is also a full size fridge/freezer in your room; as well as plates, cutlery, mugs etc.

Want to experience the farm animals? Ask about feeding the 2 Kune Kune sisters or the friendly sheep and ducks.
Need time to unwind? Walk through the native bush and sit by the stream for a while. You might even see the resident eel or spot a range of native birds. Come for a walk with the dogs.

Relaxing getaway
Wendy hosted us at her beautiful farm home. An evening walk feeding the animals was a highlight! Wendy is very welcoming and made us feel right at home. Was a lovely get away having the peaceful garden and farm as a backdrop as we enjoyed some dinner from a local restaurant. Would return in a heartbeat. Thanks to Wendy for opening up her home for others to enjoy a bit of the farm lifestyle :)

A Vision and A Mission
The studio itself is not the most spacious for a big family stay. The air conditioning is in the bedroom with the queen bed. The sofa bed in the loungeroom has enough blankets to keep warm during winter stay. Kitchen unit is in the loungeroom with the TV on top attached to the wall. Light cooking is possible, along the lines of pot noodles and a quick sandwich with the microwave. What gives this place its light is the people behind it. Wendy is an exceptional host, accommodating and polite in attending to her guests. The studio is her vision to bring exposure of farm life to the urban world, and we had the opportunity to listen to her mission in giving a down-to-earth farm experience to adults and children alike, many whom may have only touched smartphones and laptops in their entire lives. Little touches of decorations in the studio providing information of the Aotearoa birds and plants, famous words related to the Kiwis as well as the studio's construction are testimonies of her effort. Gum boots are provided for guests during the farm tour, size permitting. The animals are a curious bunch. Expect mud action when picking your attire, its a farm after all. On a sunny/dry day, there are plenty of farmland to stroll, with open stream just behind the studio. Very dark surroundings at night, perfect for stargazing. A very thought-provoking stay for us, with good company by Wendy and Sheila. Highly recommended.

Outstanding experience!
It was a pleasure to stay at Wendy's property. We were on a very busy schedule, driving from Auckland for a major event. Wendy has been so accommodating as a host: being flexible with late check-in, getting the beds ready, leaving detailed instructions on how to find the property and access our rooms. The sleepout was comfortable, modern, clean and warm! Definitely would stay again!

Super friendly, warm and comfy Bach in Halcomb
We stayed at this Bach for our 12 year old sons Schools Road Cycling Champs. It was super convenient for the race venues and my own training whilst being secure and very cosy. We actually bought a border collie pup From Wendy the owner so glad we stayed here!!

Farm Retreat
A lovely hands on farm stay with your own accommodation. We fed the sheep and pigs, wandered around the farm and bush walks, enjoyed chatting with Wendy (the host) and loved the clear sky and quiet of the countryside. No noise pollution there! The bed is very comfortable and warm. The unit is warm and cosy with all we needed, thanks to Wendy. Feilding has beautiful parks/reserves and isn't far from Palmerston North. Thank you, Wendy.
