We are very lucky to have a piece of New Zealand’s natural beauty. Tarata is nestled in bush in the remote Mokai Valley where the picturesque Rangitikei River meets the rugged Ruahine Ranges. We have the wilderness and unique trout fishing right at our doorstep. Stephen offers guided fishing and rafting trips for all ages. Raft down the gentle crystal clear waters of the magnificent Rangitikei River, visit Middle Earth and a secret waterfall, stunning scenery you will never forget Our spacious home and our large garden allow guests private space to relax and unwind. Whether it is by the pool on a hot summer’s day with a book, soaking in the spa pool after a day on the river or enjoying a cosy winter’s night in front of our open fire with a glass of wine. Come on a farm tour meeting our many friendly farm pets and experience our ‘nightlife’ on our spotlight safari. Stay in our homestead or in Tarata’s fully self-contained River Retreats’ where you can enjoy a spa bath with ‘million dollar views’ of the river and relax on the large decking amidst native birds and trees. Peace, privacy and tranquillity at its best! We will even deliver a candle light dinner to your door. Approved pets welcome. We think Tarata is truly a magic place and we would love sharing it with you.
