Stayed at Tinakori for two nights. The cleanliness of the accommodation is a slight drawback, but that's not from a child's perspective - you have to remember that this is a working farm. Our grandchildren were thrilled to touch and feed kangaoos, guinea pigs, and lots of ducks and geese. In fact we counted and cane up with a total of 22 animals/birds seen over the weekend. There was a friendly pig whose bristles were so hard! Musn't forget the cockatoo, peacocks, emus, deer, kookaburra. A great time was had at this most peaceful setting.

We stayed four nights at Tinakori and the only draw back was the cleanliness.

We used two rooms of the farmhouse and found it well equipped. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space inside. Two bathrooms were handy for the family. The kitchen was very well equipped.

Janet called the children every morning and evening for the animal feeding time and they loved it - ducks, geese, chickens, guinea pigs, cockatoos, peacocks, sheep, kangaroos, emus, deer and an enormous friendly pig. Almost a zoo! The children were free to roam and play with the dogs any time. There was a trampoline, totem tennis and plenty of bikes to ride. After busy days touring around, it was great to come back to a space where the kids could run free and relax.

A lovely setting, looking out on the little lake and so many birds. It's nothing fancy (and a good clean would be helpful) but it was just right for us.
