Our family of 6 just returned from a 3 week vacation in New Zealand/Australia. While in the Rotorua area, we stayed at the Woodstock Farmstay. This is an absolutely beautiful working sheep station (ranch). The house was very well appointed and very comfortable. It had a very warm "homey" feel and a beatiful view of Green Lake below (a remote, private lake owned by the local Maori tribe). We greatly appreciated the very nice laundry facilities and WIFI access (which can be difficult to find in New Zealand). The kitchen was very well equipped and was very family friendly. The home is very conveniently located just outside of the city of Rotorua so that you can easily access the amenities of Rotorua but also get the advantage of a very private, remote setting. Also we were happily suprised to find that the entry to the long driveway of the property is located just across the road from the Tamaki Maori Village. We attended a traditional Maori Hangi (similar to a Luau) that my children much enjoyed. The home is also located a short 50 minute drive to Hobbiton in Matamata for all you "Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings" fans (my kids enjoyed the tour of Hobbiton). Also recommend checking out "eat street" in downtown Rotorua and the Redwood forest just outside of Rotorua. Much to explore in the area and wish we would have had more time there. We would definitely stay in this beautiful home again. Thank you for sharing it with our family!
