We had an amazing stay at this farmhouse guesthouse! Thanks to the farmer host and his wife for patiently showing us around the room and recommending a great place for dinner. We really appreciated the farmer host taking us on a tractor tour of his farm, showing us how it operates and how they milk the cows. It was a unique experience, and we learned so much. The farm is beautiful. The bed in the guesthouse was very soft, and the room was exceptionally clean. The view from the room was fantastic, especially the stunning sunrise. The host's pet dog, Rose, was adorable, and I especially liked her, as well as their cat, which I also really liked! This is an amazing place! We had a very comfortable night."

It is a farm stay, so very quiet which we liked very much. Hardly any traffic after sunset (the property is about 6km from the town). We woke up to the sound of birds greeting the new day (which is early and therefore, maybe, not to everyone’s liking). The owners are exceptional people; they welcomed us warmly and treated us like family. Even got a tour of the farm and were able to meet their cows. Maybe we were lucky, but both the sunsets and sunrises were spectacular.

Absolutely nothing to dislike.

From the moment we arrived, they were VERY welcoming. The room was absolutely perfect. They were both so friendly. We chatted for a bit and got recommendations for a sightseeing flight tour(we ultimately ended up booking). They also offered for us to use the laundry room and gave us a tour of the farm. If we ever come back to NZ, we will definitely stay here again. It was perfect in every way!

The place was so cozy! We were greeted upon arrival and given suggestions of things to do/places to eat in town. Bed was extremely comfy. Accommodation only 7 minutes from town. Resident cat was the highlight! Complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. Very lovely to watch the sunrise and sunset from our cottage. Would recommend to anyone wishing to stay in area.

Beautifully presented, compact cottage. Despite freezing conditions, we were completely comfortable - great bed and shower! Generous breakfast provisions, and absolutely lovely hosts - we’d go back in a heartbeat:-) And a special shout-out to Snowdog, the coolest cat around!

A slightly larger fridge would be helpful.

Everything!!!! Super cute cottage, very clean and tidy. The breakfast also was superb. Our hosts were also very friendly and checkin and checkout were very easy. I would definitely recommend to stay at Mohaonui Farm if you’re thinking of exploring the area. Thank you very much for everything!

Spotless, welcoming, comfortable and peaceful. Helpful suggestions from our host, who also made sure we had everything we needed and let us know they were available if we had further requests. Beautiful space and convenient location.

A hotplate of some kind would have been great to do some simple cooking. We did end up having to eat out rather than cook meals.

Tasty things offered for breakfast and generous amounts 😃 Friendly and helpful hosts - they shared information about the area and clearly wanted to make our stay enjoyable. The accommodation was in a good position with views over farmland and set in a pretty garden. Handy for the town of Otorohanga and easy access to places of interest

Breakfast was excellent, an added bonus. The location was perfect for us quiet and beautiful and our hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming. Could have easily stayed another night so relaxing. The cottage was a cosy and we felt relaxed as soon as we walked in. Thank you Noel and Marian we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This was our absolute favorite stay on our entire honeymoon. It's pretty close to downtown Otorohanga and Waitomo, which has tons of wonderful things to do, but even beyond that, we essentially had our own little house, a little cottage off the main house that gave us a lot of privacy. There were slippers available and a really really comfy bathrobe, and the bathroom products were really nice (maybe an odd thing to comment about, but my hair gets really cranky with new hair products). Our hosts were super accommodating, not minding that we had to check in quite late, and checking in here and there to make sure we were good on supplies and breakfast. Was a basic continental breakfast selection that was supplied in the cottage itself, so we could make and enjoy it whenever we wanted. We really wanted to check out the rest of the farm, too, as it all looked super cute and sweet.

The entrance is a little hard to find, as it's a small turnoff right off a decently big road that in our case was covered with fog the first day. It was also a little hard to find our hosts in person when we needed them, so it's best to call or text them if you need anything.
