Te Horo Farmstay & Equestrian Centre

Enjoyed a lot at Te Horo farm stay. Mandy was the perfect host We loved the lovely home and the picturesque countryside with such wonderful animals.

Wonderful hosts in a perfect setting. Pet lamb, horses, sheep, tranquility . Very comfy beds and excellent amenities. Really enjoyed the walk to the top of the hill and the views of Kapiti . Horses to match every level of riding skills. The kids loved feeding the peacocks and their riding lesson in the arena. They also were able to brush ponies. This place is only about five k from the beach and great shopping at the outlet shops in Otaki. Good cafes within ten mins drive. We will certainly be revisiting.

Quiet, country charm for a relaxing, envigorating and peaceful stay. The unit is set high enough to get views around the surrounding green, rolling countryside. It is quite large, well equipped, clean and cosy. You will love the animal interactions with the many horses, peacocks, hawks, pukeko etc. The unit is family sized so your children can get that country experience. Your host, Mandy, is most accommodating and helpful. The settings is a ten minute drive to supermarkets, cafes and the small shopping centre of Waikanae. Highlights of the village are the Salt and Wood Collective bar which serves craft beer and food, the nearby Old Beach Bakery, and the stunning river walks along the Waikanae River reserve. So if you need some fresh air, countryside and to recharge your batteries do try the Te Horo Farmstay.

As a Japanese solo tourist, I stayed this beautiful place for one night in June 2019. I requested the accommodation just several hours before I arrived there. Despite of such a terrible hard schedule, the owner, Mandy, and here mother warmly welcomed me! Even more, they invited me the dinner. For me, this accommodation is the best one. Thank you so much! I hope I could stay with my family next time.
