The cooking of Jennifer is very good!
Don’t miss the beautiful lake (Kai Iwi)!

Clean, comfortable, peaceful tranquility.
That’s what we come for. Father and son “James Bonding” on a fishing trip. We have returned and will keep returning, as have all my family.

This place is beautiful and the folks are wonderful.
This was the perfect place for me to stay. There is a lot to see and do.
People should stay at least a week.

We enjoyed the stay in Kaihu very much. What a nice vicinity, the forests, the beach and last but not least, the genuine welcome of the host’s and their nice cooking.
Thank you

Good kitchen facilities, excellent farm feeding with pigs, cows, sheep, dog and cat.
Thanks for good meal on the first night.
Swimming at the Kai Iwi lakes was awesome.

Really enjoying the place and the people. Found Kaihu Farm a great place to stay with interesting bird life and animals. Just heading off to the lakes today.
Thanks for the hospitality.

Jenny and Michel,
I must say this is the first time I’ve ever had a hostel to myself and it’s FANTASTIC! SUPERB! EXCELLENT…
Your place, the views, the animals, the home cooked meal – everything here is as it should be – even Buster whining outside the door.
Saw two Kiwis last night – going to venture forth to Kai Iwi lakes today.
You are both very lovely people and I hope to return one day with friends.
Many thanks for everything.
I’ve loved it here.

What a wonderful part of the country.
Sorry not to spend more time with you, but we had to ski when the water is flat.
Thanks a lot.

[These guests were here for the NZ Water Ski Championships, and they ended up walking away with a few prizes between them. Great work.]
Cheers for the lovely stay and the delicious dinner.
The Kai Iwi lakes were awesome!
And Buster is really the best tour guide.
