Nice and quiet place, we really liked it.
We saw the glowworms last night and there were so many stars in the sky!!!
Thanks

When we first pulled the car in and I opened the door, Buster calmly poked his head to say Hi – the first of many nice surprises during our night here.
We loved the glow-worm walk and did a bit of stargazing afterwards.
Most pleasant was the welcome, warm reception we received and the beautiful views in the morning.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

Yes, just magical!
The kauri forest in the night felt enchanted: all those spirits of hundreds of years peeked at us from the heights of the kauri trees, the glowworm arrays echoed by the stars which peeked through the forest canopy like glowworm displays in the sky! To hear the Kiwis calling, then to see not just one, but a second full grown one too – awesome. The morepork called farewells; my only worry was the close encounter with a possum on the track, after we had just been watching the young Kiwi foraging – I do hope he was big enough to hide alright!
Anyway, wonderful experience in the charming backpackers!
Thanks!

Kaihu Farm is situated in a peaceful environment, lots of nature and beautiful scenery.
Also a nice quiet place at night with a lot of stars in heaven.
We liked these things very much.

Thank you for your warm and friendly welcome too. It was so nice to stay at such a lovely and peaceful place. And the view out of my window was amazing. I really enjoyed the galaxy at night time. That was awesome.
Thank you for all and enjoy X-mas time.

Very best start for our journey through New Zealand. We had a wonderful morning with a wonderful sunrise at the sea and at night the wild was singing us to sleep.
Looking forward to New Zealand.
thank you for the wonderful dinner and breakfast!
