Tietoja majoituspaikasta

Waiora La Grange bed and breakfast. Up the lovely Otaki Gorge.

The La Grange has sleeping for 6 people, a queen size bed and fold out double couch in the main room. Two single beds in the smaller room these can be converted into a king double bed if required.
Enjoy the peace and quiet of the country, wake to the lovely bird song from the native birds.
The land that the Bed and Breakfast is located on has been in my family for approximately 90 years, my grandfather originally owned it, the land was eventually divided into two blocks and farmed by his sons. My father took over the flats to run a dairy farm, called Waiora, (meaning living or spirit water) where you are staying. My Uncle took over the hills to run sheep and beef. His farm is called Waiawa (meaning, river water). My cousin now farms all the land.
Many of my extended family live nearby. As you may have noticed we all enjoy gardening and have lots of native trees on our properties. As you were driving up the gorge you will have driven through the famous Totara tunnel. It is thought there may be a connection between the large number of Totara and the greywacke rocks so characteristic of the area. It is possible that the prolific nature of the greywacke stones and boulders in the soil of this area created an obstruction to pastoral certainly cropping, which requires ploughing), that farmers did not farm particularly intensively, leaving groves of trees to spring up on their farm.
Totara was likely to have been a dominant species in the area, and therefore was the species most likely to regenerate as a canopy species. The abundance of Totara is recognised in local place names, including the delightful “Totara Reserve” tunnel on Otaki Gorge Road https://envirohistorynz.com/2012/06/09/totaranui-the-many-totara-of-te-horo
The Eastern boundary of this property is planted with Poplars (commonly used to create shelter belts in the area) and trees which are a hybrid of Northern Rata and a Pohutukawa. In the northern corner there is a patch of Canadian Redwoods. Next to these is the native block and this leads onto the orchard. The western boundary, from which our prevailing wind comes, has a hedge of Camellias.
The pottery in the garden is the work of two local potters

As you are staying on a working farm, please be mindful of animals in the paddock as they are not pets. Snippy, my horse is sometimes in this paddock as well. If you want to feed Snippy or any animals on the farm, please speak to me first and I will arrange a way for you to do this safely.

Welcome swallows (Hirundo neoxena) are a new addition to New Zealand's native fauna. Known only as occasional vagrants before the 1950s, they were first noticed breeding near Kaitāia, Northland, in 1958. Since then they have spread throughout the mainland, except for the central South Island mountain

Better than expected!
Judith’s barn is fantastic - the photos on the website don’t do it justice! It was perfect for us (family of three with our dog). The grounds are beautiful and it is quiet and private. The barn is easy to access with plenty of parking and everything was clean and well-stocked. We were pleasantly surprised to find breakfast in the fridge which was a real time saver as we were on our way to the ferry in Wellington. Great for a pit stop or longer stay. It’s so nice finding somewhere dog-friendly too. Highly recommend!

Wonderful spot
We loved our stay at Judith’s place. The barn has been wonderfully fitted with every comfort and our girls especially loved saying hello to Snippy the horse. My only feedback would be that breakfast was a bit on the light side for 5 people and it was good we’d brought some of our own food up.

Loved finding a neck of the woods we had never seen before so close to the main road. The property was fun - lots of lovely small touches with plenty of parking space. Judith was accomodating and helpful. We enjoyed being able to have our dog with us.
