We are far more than just a place to stay, an experience, not just a destination, so when you come to stay, maybe you might be interested in some of the following...

Private session Yoga
We are blessed to have talented yoga instructor Brooke McIntyre live locally...
From Brooke: Take time to unwind with a revitalising and relaxing Yoga/Meditation session. Never done Yoga before? No problem! Trained in traditional Hatha in India I provide a gentle approach tailored to your specific needs. Learn techniques that will enable you to quieten a busy mind, rejuvenate a tired body and leave you feeling fresh and inspired. $70 for a private session of 1h hour, tailored to whatever you need.

Pony session for children
Pony rides can be provided for children up to 60kg and those that cannot ride, do not worry, there is much fun that can be had playing with the ponies on the ground. This experience is weather dependent, but we like to think creatively, so where there is a will there is a way! We have 3 ponies with us at the moment; Aura, Jemima and Molly. These sessions normally take an hour and it is $60. Check out our full range of services at www.veandfarmyardfriends.co.nz.

Cycle the Heritage Trail
Our cottage is literally ON the heritage cycle trail! We plan to have a few bikes that you can use, but of course if you have your own bring those along too, plenty of space to store them so you don't have to leave them in the car! Bike usage is free. We are still to purchase bikes, should you be desiring this, please let me know and I may be able to borrow some in the meantime.

Feed the animals
Every day we have chores and feeding to do, if you would like to join in with these, simply choose this option when you book and we will work together to coordinate a time that works for us all. We have different things going on at different times of the year, so could include; feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs, moving and feeding the sheep, feeding the horses and feeding pet lambs, to name a few.

Beauty Therapy
Local Sarah Meurk is a talented Beauty Therapist and Make Up Artist. She is able to come to the cottage ($10 travel), or has her own studio out the outskirts of Hunterville.
