I have never stayed in a Farmhouse before, so that was exciting. Surrounded by nature, no traffic, no people nearby, no city lights, just some birds and animals. It felt fresh.
I arrived in the afternoon, greeted by Sarah and their dog (Bella). She offered me three rooms one of them being a caravan. This being the last of my 14-day trip, I went for the caravan - which was clean and all set up perfectly ready to go. Peter joined us sometime later, along with the other guests, a couple, and their baby. I had a couple of beers, and we all had a good chat. I set up my stuff in the caravan, freshened up, and then Peter invited me to have dinner with them. It felt like a family dinner with everyone. We then followed it with a board game - which was fun and a brain challenger. Later when it was dark, Peter set up his telescope and showed some constellations, planets, and stars. Living in Auckland, I had forgotten about how you get to see Milkyway in this country if you step away from the city lights. It was refreshing. Had a great sleep. Woke up the next day, and Peter took us on a small hike up the Tokatoka hill. Followed by some breakfast, and sadly it was time to leave - but not before getting a chance to fire a shotgun.
It was a special experience. It felt like going home and visiting your parents.

It was an amazing place! Peter and Sarah were great hosts! It is far more than what we expected. We have been really enjoyed every minutes of our stay in Tokatoka Views Farmstay and have learnt a lot! Highly recommend.

It was so nice to stay at Peter’s farm. He showed us lots of animals and he even took us to milk the cows and climbed the maintain. We enjoyed staying at the farm. Far more than we expected and far more than the money we spent! Definitely recommend!

Spent two nights and it was a fantastic experience. The children, especially, thoroughly enjoyed themselves feeding the animals, riding the horses and being treated to tractor rides. This was one of the highlights of our visit to this beautiful country. Thank you Peter and Sara.

Having booked a stay at Tokatoka views Farmstay last minute it turned out to be one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip. Sarah and Peter go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and let you experience an incredible display of hospitality (and actually generosity). We enjoyed the invitation to “help” milking the cows which gave us an insight in farm life. Before continuing our journey Peter guided us up the Tokatoka hill with awesome 360 view across the country, sharing lots of interesting information on animal and plant life. Highly recommend everyone to arrange a stay! You will not regret it. All the best to Sarah and Peter (and their entire family)!

Our experience here can only be described as fantastic. Pete and Sara are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them.
From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome. We had a lovely walk up Tokatoka with Pete, where he shared his knowledge of the local area and trees. Then in the morning it was down to the milking sheds to have a go at milking the herd and learning about the milk process.
Dinner and breakfast were nice and healthy with homemade salads and muesli.
Sara's passion for animals is evident and she enjoys bringing others on that journey.
Will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I travelled through New Zealand for a month, and staying at Tokatoka views farmstay definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Sarah and Peter are extremely welcoming, warm, genuine and generous! It almost felt like we were staying with family! Was great to go to Tokatoka together, have a tour of the farm and look at the stars at night, and dinner and dessert was delicious!

(Translated) Best Farmstay ever! Peter and Sarah treat you like a family. Warm and welcoming, tons of activities on the farm, and they cook super nice food, it's taste extremely nice because the raw materials are growing by them. Peter took us for a walk with a stunning view and he shared lots of plants knowledge that we never came across before. I love talk with them and share our stories like a family, it's a must go place! I recommend all of you to experience this passionate family . As soon as you walk in the door, Peter and Sarah make you feel like you're family you've known for a long time, and language shouldn't be any barrier to their enthusiasm. Getting acquainted is more like a family chatting and sharing. They have been married for 40 years. Sarah really made me cry when she shared their marriage secrets with me. The feelings between foreigners are different from those of us Chinese. They are not so reserved and candid. They were humorous and hospitable, dinner was not included but Peter wanted to show off his cooking so much that dinner was free. Teach me the game of RUMMIKUB after dinner, and I won, they cheered for me and said like a child: This is impossible! Peter said that you looked tired. I was really moved. After driving for a day, my husband and I are used to sharing each other's burdens. We both know that each other is tired, but this is life, but when someone sees that you are tired and says When he came out, he seemed to be moved and aggrieved by others. But the two of them are really too energetic. When we arrived in the afternoon, Peter came to visit, and Sarah brought another group of people back to milk the cows, and then took us to horseback riding, feeding pigs, sheep, alpacas, chickens, ducks, Play with lizards and more. Peter's fried chicken for dinner was delicious, beef fried with onions, salad, ice cream and wine in the evening was perfect. I made most of the ingredients for breakfast the next day, and Sarah showed us the soap she made and the clothes she sewed. In a word, it is so worth visiting, they have received friends from all over the world, and there are many Chinese, and even the Chinese flag is at the door. The fee is really not expensive, remember to bring a gift, haha, so they can name all the items, you will know this stalk when you arrive, you must go!

Best Farmstay ever! Peter and Sarah treat you like a family. Warm and welcoming, tons of activities on the farm, and they cook super nice food, it’s taste extremely nice because the raw materials are growing by them. Peter took us for a walk with a stunning view and he shared lots of plants knowledge that we never came across before. I love talk with them and share our stories like a family, it’s a must go place! 我建议你们所有人都去体验这个热情的家人们。一进门的时候Peter和Sarah就能让你感觉到你们是熟知已久的亲人,语言不能成为任何阻挡他们热情的障碍。熟络起来更像一家人在聊天与分享。他们结婚40年了,Sarah跟我分享他们婚姻秘籍的时候真的把我说哭了,洋人之间的感情和我们华人不一样,没有那么含蓄,坦诚相待。他们很幽默还好客,本来不含晚餐的但Peter太想展示厨艺,晚餐免费。晚饭后教会我RUMMIKUB的游戏,我还赢了,他们替我欢呼还像小孩子一样说:这不可能!Peter说你看起来很累,我是真心感动了,开了一天车,我和我老公习惯了彼此分担,都知道彼此很累,但这就是生活,可当有一个人看出来你累,并说出来时,似乎被人理解了的那种感动和委屈。不过他们俩真的是太有精力了,我们下午到的时候Peter去串门了,Sarah带另外一拨人挤牛奶回来,然后就带我们去骑马,喂猪,羊,羊驼,鸡,鸭,玩蜥蜴等等。Peter做的晚餐炒鸡好吃,牛肉炒洋葱,沙拉,晚上的冰激凌和葡萄酒也是完美。第二天早餐大部分食材都是自己做的,Sarah还给我们展示她做的香皂和缝制衣服。总之,太值得去了,他们接待了来自世界各地的朋友,中国也很多,甚至门口就是中国国旗。收费真心不贵,记得最好带一件礼物,哈哈这样子他们就能给所有物品起名字啦,你到了就知道这个梗了,一定要去!

(Translated) I fell in love with this place for the first time staying at the farm three years ago. I was also attracted by the charisma of Peter and Sara. They are so enthusiastic and generous. They are happy to introduce the farm life to all the visitors and make everyone feel it. The charm of farm life. In the past few years, I brought a few groups of guests to the farm. Everyone was full of praise for the life on the farm and the owner. All the food is produced on the farm. It is so delicious and healthy. Every activity is living in the city. People have never experienced it. Thank you very much Peter and Sara. I hope that the farm will continue to operate so that more people will fall in love with the farm life!

三年前第一次到农场住宿,我就爱上了这个地方,也被Peter和Sara的人格魅力吸引,他们是如此的热情和慷慨,乐于向所有的来客介绍农场生活,让所有人感受到农场生活的魅力。几年中,我带着几批客人来农场,每一个人都对农场生活和主人赞不绝口,所有食物都产自农场,是那么的美味和健康,每一项活动都是生活在城市中的人们从未体验到的。非常感谢Peter和Sara,希望农场能一直经营下去,让更多的人爱上农场生活!

(Translated) You should definitely book this accommodation! It was an absolute highlight on our entire New Zealand trip!
You can tell that the two love to offer travelers a place to sleep and to get to know the many different people.
We felt very welcome, Sarah and Peter are very warm, great hosts!
You even get an insight into agriculture, you can milk with the cows and help feed the alpacas, horses, geckos and Co.
Peter then drove us to the Toka-Toka, went to the summit with us and told us many interesting things about the flora and fauna.
Back on the farm I was even allowed to spontaneously ride a lap on Sarah's great horse.
Many, many thanks to Sarah and Peter for this unique stay!

Diese Unterkunft sollte man unbedingt buchen! Es war ein absolutes Highlight auf unserer gesamten Neuseeland-Reise!
Man merkt, dass die beiden es lieben, Reisenden einen Platz zum Schlafen anzubieten und die vielen verschiedenen Menschen kennenzulernen.
Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt, Sarah und Peter sind ganz warmherzige, tolle Gastgeber!
Man bekommt sogar einen Einblick in die Landwirtschaft, darf mit zum Kühe melken und dabei helfen, die Alpakas, Pferde, Gekkos und Co. zu füttern.
Peter hat uns dann noch zum Toka-Toka gefahren, ist mit uns auf den Gipfel gegangen und hat uns dabei viele interessante Dinge über die Pflanzen- und Tierwelt erzählt.
Zurück auf der Farm durfte ich sogar noch spontan eine Runde auf Sarahs tollem Pferd reiten.
Vielen, vielen Dank an Sarah und Peter für diesen einzigartigen Aufenthalt!
