Terms and Conditions

• There is a minimum 2 night rent for both buildings most times of the year, but 3-4 minimum night rent on public holiday periods. Minimum person-charges depend on the period and the booking – IE for drinking or socialising, both buildings must be booked together, with a minimum 12-person charge.
• The Holiday Homes are self-catering, which means you bring your own food. We supply the first rolls of toilet paper and bath soap, some basic herbs & spices, and some complimentary tea and coffee. Please bring your own bulk supplies. We provide free farm eggs IF our chickens are laying (not normally in winter).
• We supply all bedding plus a clean towel for each guest at the beginning of your stay. A washing machine & dryer is provided to wash towels or clothing during your stay in the Cottage. Cabin has no washing machine so we will do a load & dry in the Lodge if you are staying 3 days.
• We wash all linen at the end (please leave bedding alone) and service the bathroom. You are expected to tidy the kitchen, remove rubbish & clean BBQ, before check out.
• House Rules and noise restriction applies.
• Any extra guests, damages, losses or excess cleanup fees will be charged to the card supplied.
• There is offstreet parking for up to 10 vehicles; lawn parking must take care to drive downhill-only to prevent damage.

Bed & Breakfast / Tiny House

• Single night stays are welcome midweek
• There is a wee fridge with kettle and tea/coffee making facilities in all B&B rooms
• We supply a continental spread between 7-9am, including juice, yogurt, fruit, cereals, toast, and spreads (+eggs in Summer)
• You can use the main kitchen either side of our own family cooking times.
• Lodge rooms have individual room lock codes
• Laundry & dryer available for a small fee
• 2-night minimum (Rotorua is ideally a 3-night destination due to the number of attractions!)
• We leave 2 day’s breakfast provisions in your kitchen for your own prep when ready
• The Tiny House has a full kitchen including oven and dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine.
• All linen is provided along with a towel per guest. We only do a full service after you leave.
• Free Farm Tours can be arranged in the evenings to suit – remember this is also a working farm, so don’t be alarmed if we point out an animal that is destined for the freezer!

Socialising/Alcohol & Noises

1. A quiet drink with dinner is more than welcome, with no extra charges, in all properties.
2. We are residential and have families with children over the fences, so please consider them at all times.
3. The Bed & Breakfast and Tiny House facilities expect reasonable quiet between 8pm and 8am so all guests can sleep.
4. If you have only booked ONE of the cottage/cabins, there must be quiet by 8pm, as children in the other building may be heading to sleep. We recommend you ask ahead if doing any extra drinking at all.
5. Any Birthdays, 12+ groups, day guests, or ‘extra drinking’ in the self-contained cottages are per below;
   • There are very few rental properties that will allow group socializing or ongoing drinking, so this is a very special privilege that we both need to protect, by keeping the neighbourhood peaceful.
   • Respectful discreet socializing or drinking is allowed in the Cottages if you have booked both & paid surcharge.
   • You must have a nominated supervisor (21yrs+) in charge to guarantee the $200 noise bond & damages.
   • This supervisor must also provide their cellphone# to receive/rectify any noise complaints immediately.
   • Extra day visitors must be first requested [max 24 on site for Health & Safety] and leave by 6pm, or otherwise do need to be included in your paid staying guests to remain for later socializing.
   • We encourage you to START EARLY and do the fun stuff during the day before nightfall – eg an afternoon BBQ and games on the lawn is great, but music must down by 10pm sharp (go to clubs in town).
   • You are even welcome to invite strippers or arrange other activities as long as you check in with us prior, they are before 10pm, and the dance/music/cheering squad is INSIDE with doors closed.
   • Noise must be down and INDOORS by 10pm with doors/windows closed. This includes NO SPA or outside deck socializing after 10pm, as people forget how loud conversations get when you are having fun.
   • Do not bring your own stereos, and our stereos/boombox must remain in place inside at all times.
   • There must be NO screaming, shouting, swearing or foul language audible outside – this is a family area.
   • Disorderly behavior, outdoor yahooing/yelling or loud music will not be tolerated – we reserve the right to remove any guests if a warning has not been respected and/or charge for any damages/costs incurred, with no refunds.
   • Any sick anywhere on the property, including lawns, carpets or bedding, must be IMMEDIATELY cleaned with warm soapy water!! Anything that remains, including any smells, colour fading or damage to property, you will be charged for replacement costs; even if one area of carpet, the whole room may need replacing.
