Wake up to the river,
fall asleep under farm stars.

A working farm first. A homestay because we wanted to share it.

Rongo's Riverside Farm Stay sits where the hillside meets the river — land that's been farmed by the family for generations. A mossy old trail winds down through the forest from the farmhouse to the water, the same path used for generations to fetch water and tend the fields below.

We opened our gates to guests who wanted something quieter than a hotel: real meals, real work on the land, and a river that sets the pace for the day. Every stay is small and personal — you'll meet the people who grow your breakfast, not a front desk.
