Welcome to New Zealand. Situated in Pukekawa, only minutes from SH1 at Mercer and 20 minutes from Pukekohe, is Kereru Farmstay, a beautiful rural haven for animal lovers, families and business people alike. Enter the driveway along paddocks where we graze donkeys, goats, sheep, horses and chickens, and you will find your very own, immaculate two bedroom Lockwood cottage.
Kereru Farmstay is the ideal first stop when coming from or going to Auckland International Airport. Just 45 minutes from Auckland CBD, we thrive on introducing our guests to a beautiful slice of New Zealand and are happy to show you around our hobby farm, home to our many pets and animals.
Our Farmstay is also available for longer stays, and is the perfect place for new immigrants to gain a feel of New Zealand life, before settling down in their own place. It is also an ideal place to explore the interesting and exciting tourist sites of Franklin and the Greater Auckland - Hamilton area. Kereru Farmstay is just 35 minutes from Auckland International Airport, and an ideal gateway to New Zealand for International Travellers. Come stay with us whilst you recover from jetlag and relax before you explore this awesome place, Aotearoa!
Private tours to local attractions can be arranged.
We are only 10 minutes from the new Hampton Downs Motorsport Park. In fact, you have a view of the track from your very own unit, albeit from a distance!
If you are working in the area and you need a place to stay, Kereru Farmstay is ideal for you to relax and enjoy the country atmosphere before and after a days' work.
