Rural Tours - New Zealand Farmstays
A Rural Tours Farmstay offers a unique opportunity for you to enjoy the hospitality of friendly New Zealanders in the comfort of their rural homes.
Highlights of a rural tours farmstay , touring farms and experiencing daily farm activities and sharing the delight of a home-cooked dinner and a hearty breakfast. Highlights also include conversation with your hosts and relaxing in the wide open spaces of New Zealand's beautiful countryside.
You will meet people who are genuinely interested in sharing their home, their working farm lifestyle, and themselves, with you. Rural Tours Farmstays are available in most areas of New Zealand.
You will be accommodated in a guest room within the family home, or in some cases, in self contained accommodation on the farm. You will become part of the family for the duration of your stay, and treated as friends rather than guests. Your farmstay experience includes dinner, bed and breakfast, and farm-related activities.
Arrive as strangers, leave as friends
