Warm calm peaceful Farmstay Rotorua with Wi-Fi (but kids don't need to know!)

Rotorua Shearers' Retreat (with super-fast Wi-Fi) is a warm and peaceful 2 bedroom farmstay on the owners' farm, converted from the original Shearers' Quarters. Tuis, bellbird and NZ wood pigeons are often seen and heard around the fenced section which provides secure space for children and parking for boat/car .
View sheep and cattle grazing from the kitchen and living areas! Feed the chickens if you wish, and get to know the donkeys, who will welcome you home each day.
Well-insulated and sited for the sun, comfort is assured with a heat pump/airconditioner. The interior space is 87 square metres and is topped off with an 18 square metre covered outdoor entertainment area.
The kitchen's oven, stovetop, and microwave offer the comforts of home. A fridge-freezer and good size pantry allow plenty of storage for longer stays. Both the kitchen and lounge open on to a covered sheltered outdoor living area with barbeque in rural surroundings.

From the kitchen, head to the bathroom and separate utility room or into the 2nd bedroom/bunkroom. Kids love stargazing through the bunkroom's skylight window. Access to the main bedroom is through the 2nd bedroom/bunkroom. The spacious lounge/dining area has French doors opening into a private garden area and also on to the covered outdoor living area.

Relax on the covered deck and watch the kids at play on the trampoline and climbing frame. They can run and play in a secure outdoor area while you relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. A great spot for a leisurely brunch, or midday or evening barbeque, and you can toast marshmallows over the brazier. There's firewood available if you'd like to fill and heat up the outdoor bath too.

A few minutes down the road are cafes, restaurants and quality takeaways (Indian, Chinese, and Fish and Chips) if you're taking it easy.
