For 2 weeks in February 2004, I had the privilege to stay with Kate and Steve Smith at Kaurivale, farm stay in Dargaville. After 9 months travelling around the world, I needed a break in a peaceful environment. In Kaurivale I was able to participate in the farm life: milking the cows, moving cattle from pasture to pasture, tend to flower beds, drench cattle… while staying in a very comfortable room and eating great meals. As a bonus Kate and Steve are the perfect tour guides. I was able to visit the major tourist sites of the region: sun bathing on a deserted beach, have a picnic by the Kai Iwi Lakes, visit the Waipoua forest and admire the majestic Kauri trees. Eat fish and chips by the beach at Opononi. I recommend you warmly a stay at Kaurivale, for one night of peacefulness or the live the full farming experience for a few days. Enjoy your stay. – Chantal Charbonneau, Quebec, Canada.
