Set on Northlands stunning east coast, the natural environment is a sanctuary of birdlife, including the iconic Kiwi. Immerse yourself in nature and the seaside, explore by day, stargaze by night. An excursion to the private cove and beach below opens up another facet of this property. This is not your boring featureless white sand beach. This is a haven of exploring, rock pools full of life, dramatic headlands and landscapes.

Swim, kayak, snorkel, fish

If you have lucky timing you could even be sharing the cove with a pod of visiting dolphins! Whether you are simply a couple or a family, The Guest House at Taiharuru Farms offers a truly special experience for all.

Guest review:

“The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s fabulous with a stunning view surrounded by beautiful bush. The hosts are very hospitable and really made us feel welcome. I hope to stay here again in the future. A very special place and perfectly located if you are planning a visit to the Hundertwasser Art Centre.”
