Lemonade Farm

Lemonade Farm was named after the Lemonade lemons in the citrus grove - they're a lemon that is sweet and can be eaten like an orange.

The Farm occupies 16 acres and extends from behind the house, across the road to the base of the hill on the other side.

We have cattle, pigs, free range ducks and chickens. These provide the eggs for those choosing the B&B option.

There are many beautiful native and exotic birds and you will be sure to see a least a few of them over a day. Outside your room you may see quails ( they have a funny little tuft on their heads), fantails (a small, friendly bird with a tail like a fan), the native tui ( a beautiful black and blue bird with a white tufted bib), the native woodpigeon - called kereru in maori (a very large fat bird - grey, white and blue breasted), pheasants ( rust coloured with a huge long tail feather), finches (tiny green or reddy coloured birds), grey herons ( often down with the pigs) and if you are lucky, the dark blue native kingfisher that lurks on the phone and power lines.

In the evening or early morning you may spot the occasional rabbit, or it's larger cousins - hares.

All the surrounding properties are also farms - mainly sheep and cattle. Take a stroll down Roses road to get a real feeling of country life.
