Hi welcome to our WaiNot Cottage Farmstay. I am married with two teenage children. We have recently retired from owning a dairy farm and now just run our Dairy cow grazing block which is the property the Cottage is located on. We love the beach and our local lakes for swimming and taking our jetski out. We enjoy meeting new people and would love to share a special piece of rural New Zealand with other travellers.

During your stay

We like to welcome our guests on arrival and then be available if they have any problems or need help.
We are happy to take you out to visit Dairy cattle during your stay at a mutual convenient time (I do work during the week) and weather permitting. Just let us know if you would like this to be part of your plans during your stay. (we have sold the Dairy farm and can no longer take you to see cows milking) During August, September & October we do have calves feeding daily.
You may even get a wonderful photo opportunity or get to pat dairy cow up close.
