"This is a really nice and well equipped property. "

"We stayed with Marianne and Pascal for two nights during our month-long trip around New Zealand, and Cricklewood was by far our family’s favourite place to stay.Marianne and Pascal have created a true sanctuary where you can slow down and enjoy the simplicity of farm life while still having all the comforts of the modern world. It has the perfect balance between retreat and connection. You can unwind, recharge, and immerse yourself in nature, surrounded by beautiful farm animals that bring such charm to the experience. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, making the stay feel both peaceful and welcoming.We travelled with our three young children, who were endlessly curious about the animals. Pascal graciously answered their many questions and even took them around the paddocks to explain different parts of the farm. Marianne welcomed us with the most delicious spiced mulled wine. It was an unforgettable experience feeding baby lambs, collecting eggs, patting the horses, walking the alpacas, and simply enjoying the magic of life on the farm.Evenings were spent soaking in the hot tub as a family and gazing up at skies filled with the brightest stars we’ve ever seen. My children now dream of having a farm of their own!Cricklewood is truly special, and we cannot recommend this farm stay highly enough."

"The location of this home is fantastic, up on a hillside with views all around. Everything about our stay was fantastic. We felt so welcome and cozy and loved the locally made lavender products and the delicious breakfast. We even did a wee bit of shopping at the onsite lavender shop - it smelled heavenly in there! Thank you!"
