The spacious living room offers a cosy sofa, perfect for relaxing and catching up on your favourite Netflix shows. Large sliding doors open onto a sun-drenched deck, where you can sip your morning coffee while enjoying stunning mountain views, or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets. Just steps away, your private outdoor hot tub awaits—perfect for a soak under the stars.
Equipped with a dining table, chairs, and a BBQ, the deck is ideal for outdoor dining and soaking up the serene surroundings. The kitchen features modern appliances, including a Nespresso machine for coffee-house-quality drinks at home. Cook up your favourite meals in this fully stocked space, designed for your convenience.

Wake to the sound of birdsong, and start your day in the bathroom’s walk-in shower, stocked with eco-friendly toiletries, a hairdryer, and a mirrored cabinet for your convenience.

The Hindquarters Farmhouse is your peaceful retreat, offering plenty of opportunities to unwind. Relax on the deck’s outdoor chairs, enjoy a picnic on the lush grass, or take a leisurely stroll down the farm track, meeting a few friendly animals along the way.
For adventure seekers, the Upper Moutere Village is just 15 minutes away, home to New Zealand’s oldest pub and a hub for local artisans. Along the drive, stop by Neudorf Winery and sample some of the region’s finest wines.

A quick 25-minute drive will bring you to Motueka, the gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park. Spend the day at the Kaiteriteri beach, known for kayaking, paddle boarding, and scenic boat tours, or enjoy a delicious meal at Mapua Wharf, just 20 minutes from the farmhouse.

My work: Beef farmer & airbnb
Hi, we’re Emma and Hayden and we hope to share our love for this beautiful corner of NZ with visitors from near and far, offering the chance to experience the charm and allure of our countryside cottage.
We live next door with our three young children (three 4 & under!) dogs, chickens and even a goat who thinks he’s a dog.
It is a working farm with cattle & calves including sheep & lambs and a pig who loves food scraps.
