This is certainly a peaceful and beautiful place. The facilities are well planned, comfortable, and homelike. There is certainly plenty to do and enjoy with interesting local history at the Tawiti museum and an abundance of natural beauty to enjoy both at the farmstay and in the district. We would recommend Wheatly Downs to anyone who was serious about enjoying the reality of farmlife in New Zealand.
