“Beautifull comfy place, ideal for a group of friends or large families in a beautifull location”
+The host, allow us to check in 2 hrs earlier without any problems. She was very helpful to take photos of us, and overall just very friendly and accomodating with the whole group. The rooms were beautifull, each with its own ensuite, and the breakfast was fresh and exciting, although I missed the beacon. Thanks Trish
−Our bed was made up of two single beds, but that is just me..

“The most tranquil stay I have ever had”
+- Starting off, Trish the host is incredible! Trish was so lovely to communicate with pre stay, everything was so clear and she even allowed us to check in slightly earlier! - Trish met us on arrive and gave us a full tour, she was unbelievably warm and welcoming- even offered us flower from her beautiful garden to take home with us. - the food provided was beautiful, she baked a fresh loaf of bread which was delicious and smelt amazing, and the fresh plums were the best I’ve had all season. - the accommodation was beautiful, spacious, clean, and well looked after - the kitchen had everything you could want / need! - we booked pre wedding and were able to stream the bridesmaids the night before which was amazing! - the wider property was BEAUTIFUL! The sheep, lavender fields, city views, sunsets, lemon trees, ALPACAS!!!! - I couldn’t recommend this place more as a pre wedding / getting ready accommodation!
−Can not fault a single thing!!!!

“Warm, cosy and well equipped.😄”
+Privacy and beautiful outlook. Trish was so helpful and very hospitable. We loved our gin tour and the food left in the fridge for our breakfasts was delicious. Easy uber into Riverhead too.

“10/10 - A Hidden Gem! Top-tier farm-stay in the world!”
+This was one of the most heartwarming stays we've ever had! The Lavender Hill and the farm is beautiful and peaceful, a true escape from the busy Auckland. But what truly made it special was the host, Trish who is incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful in every way. From the warm greetings to the farm tour and the little touches throughout our stay, you can tell they genuinely care . The happy animals (lovely sheep and alpacas), rolling fields, the fresh air, the cozy accommodations, and a rustic charm that’s hard to find nowadays, everything was perfect! If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with top-tier hospitality nestled in comfort and peace, look no further. This farm stay was an absolute dream. Pure joy from start to finish... We can’t wait to come back. Highly, highly recommended!
