Peace and tranquility in a beautiful setting.
Very welcoming and hospitable hosts, we were made to feel at home straight away. The room was spacious and comfortable with its own balcony overlooking the sheep grazing in the pasture. Don't miss the opportunity to relax on the deck with its spectacular views.

Perfect getaway
We only spent one night at the beautiful Country Homestead but we loved every minute of it. Lisa and Anthony were welcoming hosts and made our stay very comfortable. The views were lovely and tranquil - especially the deck overlooking the bush. Our view from our balcony was stunning and included both the namesake black sheep and glimpses of the ocean. Would love to return!

Relaxation in the country
We loved our stay with Lisa and Anthony at the Black Sheep country home. They were super hosts and the room was gorgeous as was the house which they generously shared with us. Breakfast every morning was a highlight, not least because of the stimulating conversation with Lisa and with other guests. We found much to do with swimming and coastal walks and we’re lucky enough to catch a locals jazz festival. All in all a fabulous stay.

Cozy weekend
We had a lovely weekend at the farm between a comfortable room overlooking overlooking a sweet farm, walking in the beach, and exploring the area. My partner loved the sheep in the pasture, especially meeting them up close, and the luxurious bathtub and the balcony provided a refreshing spot to enjoy the quiet moments.

Lisa and Anthony were wonderful hosts. Lovely spacious room.
Continental breakfast was lovely as well. Freshly baked croissants and Black Sheep honey were delicious. Will definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives if they are planning a trip to the north island.

Loved the whole family.
Loved the whole family. The home made croissant and pain au chocolat were that of a Master Chef. Listening to one of the daughter playing the piano was a delight. The homestead felt like living in a Palace and we enjoyed the animals. Many different outdoor areas to play, bask in the sun or relax on a nice wooden terrace under the trees.
