Otaki trip and farm stay

A few weeks back, we visited a home stay/farm in Otaki about an hour north from Wellington. We went along with another family so N had company ;)
We went via a scenic route along the west coast of North Island along the Tasman Sea.
Once we reached the place, we were welcomed into our cabins by this stunning blue necked beauty!


We set off to explore the place immediately; because it all looked so inviting and exciting. And we wanted to see everything before the sun went down.


The farm is very Bali-inspired. They have their head office in Bali hence a lot of Buddha statues all over the place. 



Some elephants-having-fun statues too!


There was even a cute li'l wishing well and the kids dropped coins into it and made their wishes :) 


There were lots of birds and animals on the farm roaming around freely. Some hens. 


Some geese, roosters and birds-I-don't-know-names-of. 


There were some deer. 


The best part was when the peacock decided to spread his feathers and strut about.


Then it was time for sight seeing around the town of Otaki. And it had so many hues to offer. It was a pure visual delight! 


At the Otaki Beach we saw these seagulls resting.


Ended the day with some delicious food at the local Indian restaurant.


The next morning we had a gorgeous visitor at our cabin door!




Beautiful, isn't it?? 


New Zealand is a beautiful place and here is to many more trips!!
