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, fantails , the tui , the native woodpigeon – called kereru in maori , pheasants and finches among many. At night you can sometimes here the morepork – our native owl.
In the evening or early morning you may spot the occasional rabbit, or hare.
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.
