Fodor's Expert Review Linburn Farm Stay

1279 Waimata Valley Rd., Gisborne, Gisborne, 4040, New Zealand

The 1920s home of Karyn and Mark Watson is situated on a working farm that breeds sheep and cattle. There is a large stand of native bush. Guests have the run of the house with its enormous wood-paneled lounge, books aplenty, and large-screen television. You can dine with the family or in private if you wish. Meals and picnic hampers are available and local visits can be arranged.
