"From the warmest of welcomes to the warmest of log fires, we’ve had a wonderful time here. So much to do, so little time! Hope to be back again some day."
S&M, UK

 

"Very fine example of a top rural farm cottage and B&B."
GC, Auckland

 

"We came here for a farm experience and loved it, although now muddy, pecked by bantam hens and eaten too much! Our kids agree we’ll be back!"
E&J, Paraparaumu

 

"The fact that it is our 7th time here speaks for itself! And we will be back many more times, it is so terrific here. Neil and Virginia make all the difference to having a wonderful time. We have stayed on many other farm stays and Mt Huia retests the best! It’s unbeatable thanks to the friendliness and personalities of Neil and Virginia and the dogs are great too! Thanks very much!!!!"
S-R Family, Wellington
