We loved our stay at Arias Cottage and Cabin, perfect, large, accommodating space for a group. Heaps of room and facilities for everyone. Very clean and tidy, had everything you need plus a great deck outside to enjoy the peace and quiet around. Kerris was a wonderful host, looked after us very well! Highly recommend this property.

Aria’s Cottage really catered well for our family of 9. Lots of activities for the children and really appreciated 2 dozen fresh hen eggs on arrival. A great farm stay.

Arias Farm was great for our large group (10 adults and six kids). Heaps of backyard space for the kids to play, and a big trampoline which they used a lot. Not a massive house but well set-out so every family group had their own bedroom. Close enough to town and amenities that it's not too much trouble to get anywhere, but still feels very private and away from it all. Also, great spa. Would recommend.

We visited from Hawaii with a group of 18 people. The kids loved the animals, open space and the volleyball area. Seeing the piglets were on the top faves of the kids list in NZ! Great location, very close to all things in Rotorua! Kerris gave great recommendations and has a book full of things to do! The living area was everyone’s favorite space — especially our night games, laughs and food! Rooms were spacious and comfy! Checking in and out was easy! Definitely recommend Aria’s Farm for a place to stay in Rotorua, especially for larger groups/families! Thank you Kerris & family!

The farm setting was very fun for the young kids and lots to do. The kids loved feeding the farm animals and they got a lot of use out of the trampoline (the kids, not the animals). The accommodations are fine, but dated and could use some renovations.

Thank you Kerris and Chris for an amazing holiday in your cabin and cottage. What an ideal setting and comfortable accommodation. There is everything you need to cook, clean, play and be comfortable in these two adjoining places. The farm visit was an absolute joy for the younger children and the spa was loved by all.

We loved staying at Arias Farm, what a brilliant place to stay with a group of friends for a reunion! We had a mix of adults and children, and even the furry child (dog) was welcomed. Perfect place for a large group to stay and we appreciated the little things such as the large trampoline and fully fenced backyard. Kids loved the animal feeding and "Dumbo" the pig with big ears was a hit.

The kitchen was well set up. The house is well laid out. The host were friendly . The free range eggs were great. They contacted us to let us know we could get inn a bit earlier and gave us extra time to leave on the day we were leaving which was a blessing as we were moving a bit slow. . The photos' on book a batch gave us th eimpression hot out door pools were near by which they wern't. Great place for a family with dogs. thank you

Great place to take large groups. We were a large group and all our needs were met. We needed a place where we could have family time without being separated in different rooms. Had family meals and the kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed. Kerris is great to work with. Thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

Beautiful and quiet place for the whole family and still have a bit of privacy. There were 23 of us with family from overseas and this place catered to everyone. We booked the cottage and cabin area. There were plenty of games and activities for the kids to play and keep themselves entertained. The kitchen space, bathrooms and laundry facilities provided catered to all of us. This place is also situated close to all the activities we had booked during our stay and the bonus was no 'Rotorua smell'. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay that caters to large families. Owner is always around if you need help with anything.

Place was very clean, lots of space, lots of beds, great setup. Kitchen was well stocked, laundry room was a nice bonus. Nice cozy fire for the days it was chilly. Worked very well for our family group and we enjoyed our stay. Both kids and adults all enjoyed the animal feeding, learning about the farm and trying the fresh farm eggs.

Awesome Aria Farm cottage

Awesome Aria Farm cottage

What an amazing location for our family, a bit of privacy off the road in a peaceful setting. Semi rural, just at the edge of town. Fantastic hosts (Kerris and Chris) who not only supplied us with delicious farm eggs, but also invited our kids to come help feed the farm animals (which they loved). So much space, a nice home away from home. We will definitely be back. Oh and the spa was great to relax those muscles as well.

Perfect for large group

We had 24 people, our extended family holiday, and it worked perfectly. We were able to fit in the house, the cabin and the sleepout, and we could enjoy each other's company while still having space to spread out a bit. Kitchen worked well, bathrooms were clean and there were enough of them! Everyone enjoyed the spa, and taking kayaks down to the Blue Lake was a highlight. Kids enjoyed feeding the animals. The view of the beautiful mature trees from the deck was peaceful and cooling during the amazing summer weather we had for our stay. Thanks for having us. We would definitely recommend this to anyone planning a family holiday!

We had a good stay at Arias farm

We had a good stay at Arias farm

We found the people at Arias farm friendly and professional. When we entered the accommodation for the first time, you could see and smell that the place was thoroughly cleaned. There were clear instructions in the folder of how to connect to the wifi ect.... There was more than enough room for the 16 of us staying and loads of space for the kids to run around. Great facilities like the BBQ, volleyball net and hot tub. Good showers with very tidy bathrooms. Far enough from town to have the peace and quiet atmosphere, but not so far away that it is a inconvenience. We are already thinking of rebooking there again for our next holiday. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
