About this cottage rental
The original woolshed on the farm has been converted into accommodation, using largely recycled materials. The aim was to maintain the original character of the building, the history and essential Kiwi-ness of it, as well as making it as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible.
We have retained various of the original woolshed features - the woolpress now houses the hot water cylinder, a shearing plant graces the wall, and one wall is covered by corrugated iron previously cladding the outside of the woolshed. The living area floor is natural timber, and the remaining living area walls are clad with native rimu taken from the exterior of a demolished woolshed at Whitehall.
Add in quality lights and furniture and the result is a quirky, cosy, country cottage, ideal for romantic getaways or families who enjoy being surrounded by nature. Comfortably accommodates four. See our website for photos, and for up to date availability.
We are environmentally minded - so whilst you will find everything you need here, we have deliberately omitted various 'luxury', non-environmentally friendly items. There is a microwave, but no dishwasher, clothes dryer, or electric blankets ;-) The Woolshed is however fully insulated, and has a log burner and extra quilts for those cooler winter days.
Enjoy farm walks, birdwatching, and bush walks. Hang out in our Native Garden.
Pets by prior arrangement; please advise in advance for any conditions.
We are working to reverse the damage done to this farm over the last 100 years, by protecting streams and gullies and replanting native bush. Your stay in The Woolshed will help us fund our conservation efforts!
7.5km from Te Miro Mountain Bike Park; close to Maungatautari Ecological Island, Lake Karapiro, and Mystery Creek (30 mins).

Thank you for the oasis, such a beautiful setting and loved stepping back in time. So nice to feel transported back to our own upbringings on farms. Appreciated the wood top for the fire, only wish we’d had more daylight hours there to enjoy. Thank you

This was the perfect place for us to go and bring our dog with us! It's cozy and comfortable the perfect size little cabin and loads more space to explore right out the front door.
We needed a place to stay that was dog friendly so we could bring our boy to get surgery and this was perfect. The owners were lovely and showed our boy so much love, he absolutely adored the place (especially meeting the cows and horse!)
It was really amazing to see all the wonderful work that's been done on the land to make it such a gorgeous place to explore.
Thank you so much for your hospitality and for providing such a beautiful space for us to stay.

Warm and cosy cabin in the rolling Waikato hills close to Cambridge and Karapiro.
Great to have our dog welcome. Loved the gorgeous restorative native plantings around the farm setting.

The house was well equipped and the walks on the property were fabulous. We could just take our dog straight out on a walk on the trails around the farm. It was also a short ride away to the mountain bike park.
A really lovely spot to chill out for a couple of days. We would definitely stay again when traveling that way.

Not for us but seviced its purpose to stay that weekend with our dog

Great property, perfect for what we wanted with good facilities. Very comfortable and clean. The outside could have done with a bit of tidy up/mow of lawns out the front (first impressions) but it had been very wet so that may have been the reason. Would definitely recommend and visit again when we're visiting Lake Karapiro.

We were four of 6 people for the waka ama national championships at Lake Karapiro on on the Waikato River. Staying at the Woolshed was a joy. So tranquil and beautiful.

Quirky and cool, a converted woodshed in a nice private spot away from the road. Great view, quiet and the owners were warm and welcoming. Cambridge was only 15 minds away. Loved driving on the windy roads.
