Top of the Falls Farm Driveway

Just 45 minutes from the Auckland Int'l airport you think you are a thousand miles away from the City. Our driveway Crosses & meanders beside the Wairoa River running through the middle of our 185 Acre family-owned farm which backs onto the stunning Hunua Ranges (600,00 acres of virgin native NZ bush) and top of the 100-metre Hunua Falls Reserve with access to Auckland Regional Parks bush tracks. Point of interest: One of the scenes from the movie "Without a Paddle" was filmed at the back of the farm at the top of the magestic Hunua Falls (If you haven't seen it we have it on DVD). We are happy to lend you a couple of bikes to explore the farm or if you have your own bikes there are cycling tracks a short drive away. Our facilities include a games room with couches, kitchen & bar area + shared bathroom with toilet and shower. If you want to get away from it all and you have a tent we also have a couple of private campsites on the farm (accessible by foot) suitable for tents which are next to the river which is quiet and intimate and makes you feel like the rest of the world doesn't exist. These are basic campsites with a potable water stream & separate freshwater stream for swimming, fire pit, access to kayaks (POA) and portaloo/long drop for .... Our driveway is gravel and well maintained with a large turnaround area suitable for large camper vans & buses. As well as the farm we run a mobile adventure business so there may also be opportunities to help feed out hay to the cows, feed the free-range chickens, conservation tree planting or to do some of our adventure activities eg Claybird Shooting or Archery.
