Found this spot through NZ's Grab one. It's listed as a "Barn" but the accommodation is anything but barn like. More shaped like a quonset hut but the interior of the building was very up to date with a full kitchen, comfortable seating in the living area and dining area. Two full bathrooms, one for each bedroom which makes it... More

Was a great B&B to stay over night - my partner and I needed to get out of the city for the night, so we quickly booked, went for a hike and swim at the hot pools, then came back and slept like babies and were woken up by the beautiful birds singing! Breakfast was perfect and easy, and the... More

I have two complaints: 1) We weren't staying longer. 2) We didn't get to eat the free-range eggs because we were too full from all the other breakfast treats. Bruz and Shona were truly excellent hosts too - thank you so much! Couldn't recommend highly enough.

An excellent place to stay for a couple of days whilst visiting the area First Class accomodation with all the refinements and service you could wish for First Class owners who were very welcoming and helpful - could have stayed longer

The barn was a different accommodation you felt you were really somewhere different. The grounds were tranquil and hearing the birds and chickens made you feel you were in a farm environment. Food was fantastic homely and Moorish. Lovely people to welcome you. Thames area is a must to visit. Would really say this is a must for all.

The grounds surrounding the barn has all the countryside, animals, vegetables and quiet, cool places to lounge with a cool drink. This was a revelation as we had no idea the setting was so rural. Being outside Thames is the best... More

My Husband and I along with another couple had 2 wonderful nights staying at Totara Valley Barns. We had heard a lot about the new Cycling Trail across the Hauraki Plains and had seen cycylists while driving through the Krangahape Gorge. We chose Totara Barns as the 4 of us could stay together with a lounge area to share. Also... More

We stayed at Totara Valley Barns B & B for a couple of nights after Cycling the Hauraki Rail Trail. The converted barn was very nice and Bruz and Shona our hosts were very friendly knowledgeable about the area. There was plenty of space to store our bikes securely and they were happy to look after them while we did... More
