A wonderfully relaxing and beautiful place to stay. Lovingly furnished. Gorgeous garden and terrace. Rachel even served us fresh, homemade bread very early in the morning and, on our last morning, fresh, also homemade croissants and her own jam. Highly recommended. We'll be back!

We loved every part of our stay. Rachel is an incredible host, and her attention to detail is lovely. We enjoyed the breakfast of homemade bread, homemade jams, homemade granola, and yogurt. The space was super clean. You’re able to walk all around the farm, including the lavender fields. They had a farm cat, too, and he is such a sweetheart! Rachel also stopped by to meet us, and provided us with oranges from her trees. The stars in the sky are more abundant than I’ve ever seen before. The kitchen is well equipped, so we were able to cook each night. This is a wonderful farm stay that would be perfect for any couple. I cannot recommend this Airbnb more!

I found our stay at Quail Farm B&B to be exquisitely charming. Every detail was authentic and unique. Rachel gave is a tour of the lavender fields and spent time with us over a glass of wine. It was the perfect New Zealand experience.
