Set your expectations right beforehand. Three of us stayed at the farm in late nov 2011. It was peaceful, quiet and private. Just what we were looking for. The indoor facilities were clean and adequate. Outside could do better cleanup especially right around the cottage. But we dont expect much as it is a farm. The hosts were quite occupied... More

On arrival at the cottage we were greeted by Eric and Donna who were extremely welcoming. After giving us some time to relax, Donna then showed us where we could collect some fresh free range eggs that we could cook for our breakfast - they were lovely. We were also introduced to some of the various farm occupants - the... More

This is a hidden gem just outside the town of Franz Josef, on a working dairy farm. We were offered free range eggs and fresh (really fresh) milk from the farm when we arrived which pretty much set the tone of complete hospitality and 100% friendliness by Eric and Donna. Although we didn't have a car, it was very easy... More

Located ideal to the Franz Josef glacier this family friendly farmstay offers all you and your kids can ask for. Milk as fresh as it gets, "help yourself with the eggs", goats, ducks, dogs and pigs and hosts that always be there for a help. Great value, simple but tidy place, all self contained. We loved it and the kids... More

We discovered Perivale Farm Cottage on TripAdvisor after a fruitless search for other accommodation in Franz Josef and were extremely pleased that we did! The cottage was spacious, well furnished and very well equipped (books, toys, etc.). Graham welcomed us and was very helpful. Our kids enjoyed watching the milking and fresh milk and free-range eggs were also a welcome... More

The cottage is ok but the farm is a pigsty. Graham greeted us but no sign of Dora - ever. And if you try to contact them to ask a question - no one answers the phone, and it is not the kind of place where you feel comfortable walking over to their house and knocking on the door. The... More

A lovely family who really made us feel welcome. The cottage was in great condition and the nighly views of the stars was amazing. Make sure you try the fresh eggs and milk - so much better than anything you'll find in the stores. The cottage itself was well equiped - plenty of toys for small children etc. Overall a... More

We stayed at the cottage mid April and wished we could have stayed longer than a night! The cottage is clean and comfy and has everything you would need whether you stayed at the height of the summer or mid winter. The views are amazing from the kitchen window and it is just so peaceful. Graham, Dora and the children... More

We stayed mid Jan 2010 and had a whole homestead to ourselves with fresh eggs and fresh milk straight from the cow. Awesome scency, clean and comfortable. Felt very welcomed with our own privacy at the same time. Well equiped cottage for families all you could possibly need. We stayed in various locations in the south island and would rate... More

What a wonderful week we enjoyed at Perivale cottage.. Beautiful rural situation on a working farm with stunning views of the mountains. Although we live in a very rural part of Norfolk it was very interesting to talk to Nigel, the dairyman and Graham the owner of this farm to compare farmig methods. The free range eggs, as many as...
