Stay onthe Mohaka
Slow down and enjoy some time here on our farm. The nights are quiet and starlit, the birdsong in the morning is blissful.
Book your chalet or cottage
Our newly refurbished chalets are ready. Our team have built almost everything by hand, and we can't wait to welcome you here. We currently have two small cosy studio chalets which sleep two people, and are due to complete one two-bedroom cottage (45 m²) early April, 2026 which has been designed to sleep four people.
Self-contained
The chalets should have everything you need, but if you need anything else we're always happy to help. Breakfast is included which typically includes fresh home baked bread, eggs, home made "Mohaka granola", plunger coffee, fresh milk, tea and plenty to snack on too.
Home made meals
Be sure to select a fully catered option when you stay so you don't need to worry about food. Our menu largely consists of local produce and hearty, healthy meals. Among other items on our menu are:
- Mint spiced New Zealand lamb kofta souvlakis
- Organic Hawke's Bay chicken korma
- New Zealand salmon, alfredo and caper pizzas on homemade sourdough base
- Sour cream tart with Mohaka River Farm grown raspberries
- Rhubarb custard cake
- Chocolate brownies with fresh whipped cream and raspberry coulis (GF)
Ingredients is all sourced locally where practical. All fruit used in the desserts is grown right here at Mohaka River Farm and most of the vegetables are too.
Everything is home made by Tammy and her very clever daughters. Some vegetarian options are available, and everything you need to heat your meals is in your chalet - including a mini oven and Weber barbecue.
Pure comfort - but remember why you are here!
With so much to enjoy and experience outside we didn't want to tempt our guests to arrive and spend their time here inside. So we kept the chalets small and simple. We are striving to deliver exceptional quality, always. If you love being cozy in a quiet rural setting, a short walk to a river, with a warm shower, new linen and good food, you might just love it here. But please keep in mid - this is a place to reconnect with nature, those closest to you, and as cliché as it may sound - yourself too. Connecting with yourself and loved ones is best done minus distractions. And that's what you can expect here. Yes you can watch Netflix on your computer or phone if that's what you want to do, but how often do you get a chance to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself? From those who accept the challenge of embracing the quiet and peace Mohaka River Farm offers, we are often thrilled by the feelings of self discovery they describe after even a short stay here.
If you're planning to come and stay, be sure to book in an experience while you're here. Accommodation is limited this summer, so guests partaking in experiences will be given priority. There are lots to choose from - from guided fishing and hunting, to all-new horse treks, crafts, knife making and log-to-home-tours.
Peace and quiet
The chalets are located in their own private area. Our farm homes are about 2 kilometres up a gravel road, so you will have all the privacy you could ever wish for. But please note that if you aren't used to absolute silence, it can take a little getting used to, especially if you are coming straight from a busy city environment.
Lodge access
Near to the chalets is our lodge. Chalet guests have access to this which provides a large open, comfortable space for socialising, playing board games or even a little table tennis!
Chalet guests are free to use our spacious country lodge, just a short walk from the chalets
"We stayed in the last school holidays and loved it! Can't wait for you to reopen! We will be back!"

Relax
Our studio chalets are $600/night and full catering is $90/day per person.
To get the best deal, be sure to enquire via the contact form and include a little information about your ideal stay. We typically discount our accommodation rack rates by 15-25% for guests who partake in one or more of the on-farm experiences.
No camping will be available this summer unfortunately. Most of our team are heavily involved in upgrading the property, hence having less accommodation than usual for a little while as all hands are on deck.
Relax.
Not for the faint-hearted
The "sound of silence" can be confronting for some. Mohaka River Farm is a work in progress - we have many plans, all of which will take time to implement. Presently our two chalets are best suited to those in love with nature, dark star-filled skies, birdsong and quiet.
As we develop things will inevitably change here; with more chalets built, more services offered, more guests here at anytime. If private "charm and calm" is what you are looking for - with rivers, forests, mountains, horses, friendly people and more aplenty, it's a neat time to come and stay, while things are small and simple.
