You will stay in two separate places when you come on one of our riding holidays.

Most nights are spent in our farm homestead (below), which has recently undergone extensive alterations with our guests' comfort in mind. There is a large double bedroom (click here for photograph) and two twin rooms, which share a guest bathroom and toilet. You are welcome to make use of our swimming pool, relax on the decks and enjoy the spectacular 180 degree views of the Kaipara Harbour.

You will also spend one or two nights in our converted shearer's quarters on the other side of the South Head peninsula. This building has been upgraded from working shearers' quarters to a "farm cottage" for our riding holidays and comfortably sleeps up to 12 people in six rooms (two of which can be combined to make a larger room if desired). It has two showers, two toilets, a large kitchen and dining facilities (click here for photograph).

Non-riding companions are welcome to stay overnight with you at either location by prior arrangement.

Accommodation can also be available without going on a trek on a bed-and-breakfast basis. Please enquire.
