Ridgewood
~ New Zealand Farmstay
Bed & Breakfast accommodation with real kiwi hospitality.
Located
north of Marton, just a few minutes from SH1 in the heart of the Rangitikei,
this
delightful battened `English style' historic farm homestead
restored and extended was built at the turn of
the 20th century from native timber 'pit sawn' on site. Best described
as a `charming country lodge', the character suggests a `arts & crafts'
Chapman-Taylor feel featuring an exposed beam chapel ceiling, wooden door
latches, battened ceilings and native timbers throughout. Accommodation
furnishings are in keeping with the era. A walk through this classic homestead
with medieval shaped doors and guest bedroom accommodation both spacious
and homely may well spark your stay with childhood memories of grandmothers
day.
Start
the day with a hearty farm breakfast including fresh organic farm eggs.
Vegetarian and GF breakfasts are also available.
What else is for breakfast?

Enjoy the secluded relaxation, peace and tranquility of the private native bush and large garden surrounding the homestead.
Mature Rhododendron and Camellia trees planted at the turn of the 20th century provide a stunning mass of colour from July to November.
Ridgewood commands panoramic views across acres of farm land to the Ruahine ranges that you can enjoy all year round.
Of interest are the Cape Barren Geese, pheasants, `Raj' our friendly peacock and the many varieties of land and water fowl that free range the property.
