How much does The Homestead Farm Stay cost per night?
The Homestead Farm Stay is listed at NZ$180–$280 per night. New Zealand farm stay rates are normally quoted per property rather than per person, so a group filling the property pays less per head. Confirm the current rate and what it includes directly with the property — we take no commission and do not handle bookings.
How many people can stay at The Homestead Farm Stay?
The Homestead Farm Stay sleeps up to 6 guests across 2 rooms. For comparison, the median listing in our directory sleeps 6. Ask the property for the room-by-room bed configuration — a headline capacity can be made up of bunks rather than doubles, which matters for who is travelling.
What can you do at The Homestead Farm Stay?
The Homestead Farm Stay offers Fishing and Farm Tours. What is actually available on any given day depends on the season and on what the farm is doing that week — spring is lambing and calving, autumn brings harvest and shearing. Ask when you book rather than assuming everything runs year-round.
Where is The Homestead Farm Stay?
The Homestead Farm Stay is at Mirfins Road, Ikamatua, in the West Coast region of New Zealand. Rural properties typically sit 30–90 minutes off the main touring routes and there is no useful public transport, so a rental car is effectively required. Drive the final approach in daylight the first time — farm gates are rarely signposted the way a hotel is.
What is included at The Homestead Farm Stay?
The Homestead Farm Stay lists WiFi and meals. What "meals" covers varies between properties — it may be breakfast only, or full board — so confirm the detail before you arrive.
What kind of farm is The Homestead Farm Stay?
The Homestead Farm Stay is a heritage farm property, offering an authentic farm-life stay — everyday rural New Zealand rather than a staged experience.
Can you bring a dog to The Homestead Farm Stay?
Assume not, and ask before booking. Most New Zealand farm stays are working stock properties where an unfamiliar dog is a stock-worrying risk, and none of the 60 listings in our directory records pets as welcome. The Homestead Farm Stay has not published a pet policy with us — contact the property directly.
Is The Homestead Farm Stay any good?
The Homestead Farm Stay holds a 5.0 rating from 12 reviews on Google. We collect no reviews ourselves, so that is the rating from Google rather than from us — follow the link on this page to read them.
