Immaculately decorated, presented and with such lovely attention to detail from the breakfast provisions, many coffee and tea options to the toiletries and the lovely choccies. The bed was so comfortable, finished with quality bedding towels and a spacious bathroom. Trevor was great, meeting us and giving us all the information we needed to enhance our stay. Very welcoming of our two English Springer spaniels too, we needed somewhere pooch friendly and this definitely was the place for us.

Can't fault it in any way.

Super accommodation, fully stocked, extremely clean & very comfy bed & pillows. Quiet picturesque location with surrounding countryside and Llamas! Breakfast was left in the room, cereal, yoghurt, toast & fruit, quite delicious. We had booked anticipating crossing the Arthurs Pass the following day but due to road closures, we re-routed down the coastal road. The location of Ra-ata made this an easy decision. A great stay and would definitely recommend.

I absolutely love this place! It was a gem that I stayed in en route from Kaikoura to Arthur's pass in a very cosy ensuite room. It was decorated really nicely and they left a lovely gluten free breakfast for me in the small self-contained kitchen area for the morning. I had this on the little chairs/tables outside while having a cuddle with their friendly dog. Also treated myself to the use of a dressing gown. If you need to stay in Rangiora then I'd definitely recommend Ra-ata farm!

Self contained, very clean, large, tastefully decorated studio unit in a rural setting. A bonus was to be able to take our dog with us on a short holiday break. The hosts two dogs Dexta and Nero are lovely dogs. The supplied continental breakfast was enjoyable. This was the second time in 3+ years that we've stayed here and on both occassions the high standard is comparable. Highly recommended accommodation. Thanks Rose.

Nothing to dislike.

We were welcomed by the most friendliest adorable furbaby pooches along with our welcoming hosts. We absolutely enjoyed our brief stay on the farm, we only wished we could of stayed a few days longer as we had only booked an overnight stay.. Everything in our studio was immaculate and beautifully presented, right down to the finest little extra goodies which made our stay that extra special and cosy such as the little chocky fudges, little jars of table spreads, mini bathroom condiments the continental breakfast which was supplied and of course the matching slippers and fluffy dressing gowns to add that extra comfort to our stay. :-)

The large room has a generous ensuite, kitchen facilities and a lovely sitting area, all beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. Delicious breakfast supplies. Trevor and Rose were very welcoming and unobtrusive hosts. Their dogs are delightful and very well behaved. A lovely peacefulbrespite for us as we negotiated moving house. Highly recommended.

Nothing

Lovely comfy room with all the traits of home..We felt very comfortable there. Probably that nicest B&B we have stayed in and we have traveled the world. Rose, the Manager and her delightful dog were just terrific, and their kindness made the stay quite memorable for us.

Nothing I can think of - it was exceptional!

Gorgeous set up. Private, clean. Bonus was the dogs, such teddy bears. The owner we met was lovely to deal with. Quiet and tranquil, definitely recommend.

Found a plastic straw wrapper by the bed, but easy to miss as it was only in the morning that i noticed it there, was a dead bee on window sill but kinda hidden by ornament. Wouldve been good if there was a bin liner in the kitchen so i didnt feel bad about putting the rubbish in the bin,may have just been an oversight so not a big issue. Otherwise there really was nothing to fault on.

The place was beautifully designed and clean. It had everything we needed during our stay. A very good continental breakfast was provided. Only 7 mins drive to town for food, very convenient location. Rose gave us a farm tour after we arrived. She was such a cheerful person, and very patient to my kids. She has two very loving dogs and my kids loved them. We had a Wonderful stay! Would highly recommend this place to everyone.

Didn’t stay longer!!!

Location was rural, ten minutes drive from the nearest town. Ideal if you want a quiet stay in lifestyle farmland. A standard continental breakfast was supplied the night before so you could have it whenever it suited.

The kitchen was small, adequate only for preparing drinks.
