• Welcome to our 100 year old homestead

    Hiamoe (Farm name) means "sleepy hollow" and Waiata (our locality) means "singing waters" in Maori and it is our aim to offer highest level of hospitality in a very relaxed environment. We offer family friendly Dinner, bed and breakfast accommodation with warm country hospitality and guarantee a unique farm stay experience in a real farming environment. The farm tour is free and definitely an integral part of the farm stay experience!

    We are based in Waiata, near Colyton, Feilding and Palmerston North and offer bed and breakfast farmstay on a 720Ha sheep and cattle property.
    It is always a pleasure for us to share our " neck of the woods " with visitors and for people wanting to experience a hint of rural New Zealand, it is our aim that Hiamoe Farmstay can provide the opportunity to achieve that.

    Three fantastic days experiencing life on a large farm. Had a go at shifting and weighing sheep and cattle, driving round on the back of a quad bike. Fantastic comfy bed and excellent home cooked and home grown meals.

    My 2 teenage children and I had a most enjoyable one-night experience at this farmstay. Toos & John were gracious, lovely hosts who made us feel at ease and at home right away. Getting a little glimpse of life on a working farm was truly priceless. I think their farm is bigger than our neighborhood!

    A great experience with our friendly hosts Toos and John Cousins and a highly interesting introduction into NZL farming - very different of the ways farming is done in Switzerland. - We shall not forget this day, it was one of the highlights of our trip.
