Monthly Rentals in Maerewhenua River

We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Studio! The cabin was very cozy and warm — the heater was already on when we arrived, which made us feel immediately welcomed. Sarah is such a caring and thoughtful host. We loved meeting all the lovely animals, including the little goat, Kunekune pig, Highland cow, peacocks, birds, and rabbits. It was truly a peaceful and heartwarming experience. We would love to come back again!

Our stay here was nothing short of perfect. The location is great if you want a little more privacy and peace, but not too far that you feel cut off from the busier towns. The home was clean and inviting, the breakfast foods provided were a lovely touch and getting to see the animals was also great. Nicola was an incredible host, even offering to help us get items back that we foolishly left behind! My partner and I would highly recommend staying here and if we are ever back in this part of the world, we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Not a bad word to say. Just wonderful.

Very nice house and the house is so well stocked with everything you might need. Great place to stay, would highly recommend!

This was our favorite stay of the entire trip! The farm is absolutely lovely — we got to meet so many adorable animals, including alpacas and Highland cows (they were so cute when they chewed!). The host even took us on a walk around the farm in the morning to visit and feed them — such a special experience. The room itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with cow and alpaca-themed touches everywhere — we loved it! Everything was so thoughtfully prepared, from the cozy interior to the fresh milk, juice, and jam waiting for us in the fridge.
