WE WELCOME YOU TO CHURCHHAVEN! Please see our video here: https://youtu.be/hycA1AKYc0U Described by all who come here as a “slice of Heaven” and a “Haven of tranquility”, Churchhaven offers more than just a place to stay. Churchhaven is a small 4Ha farm located in a friendly rural community, a few minutes walk from the shores of the Manukau harbour and our expansive private beach. Our very spacious and upmarket guesthouse offers our guests an undisturbed and unique farm stay experience, boasting five luxurious bedrooms and a stunning 220sqm entertainment room with an indulgent indoor spa bath. Be welcomed with wine, grape juice and chocolates, and find the fridge and cupboards stocked with enough goodies and fresh farm eggs from our own free range chickens to make your first big breakfast! The guesthouse can accommodate 9 guests, and is built on two levels. Downstairs you will find 3 large double bedrooms, a semi-en-suite bathroom, a guest toilet and a fully equipped laundry. Upstairs boasts a spacious living and dining area opening to a small view patio through sliding doors, a fully fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and one single bedroom. Guests have access to the entire guesthouse, which leads to an enormous 220 sqm carpeted hall that is a perfect entertainment alternative in rainy weather. Little kids can run and play ball, adults can play darts, and the whole family can play table tennis, work out on our gym equipment, or just laze around. And — all can relax and indulge in our beautiful family spa! Barbecue facilities are also available. Our massive carpeted entertainment room, in addition to the serene rural surroundings, make Churchhaven an ideal venue for weddings, conferences, or team-building weekends. Ample parking and huge lawns adjoin the guesthouse. We have a four Alpaca, two adorable miniature horses, and a beautiful purebred Arabian mare - our pride and joy. Our guests fall in love with our animals and just love interacting with them. Kiddies love to feed the chickens, and our friendly neighbours’ horses and cattle are always close by. The beautiful Manukau harbour offers breathtaking sunsets. The beach is a short stroll away where, at low tide, you can run or walk for miles, and at high tide children can frolic in the shallow water. Churchhaven will restore, refresh and inspire you, your friends, and your family. Get in touch now to plan a cosy winter retreat, a fun-filled family holiday, your next business team building event or conference, or contact us to discuss Churchhaven as your wedding venue. What our guests say: Kristina: If I could give 7 stars - I definitely would! Amazing hospitality, great amenities and really good quality in everything, so many thoughtful touches and extras like fresh laid eggs from the farm. Fabulous barn with Spa, tabletennis and dart was a nice fun factor and Wernard was the best host you could wish for - available if needed but respecting your privacy. Such a wonderful stay - thank you so much for having us! Yifei: Such an amazing experience! The house is very beautiful, the photo on the website couldn’t show it’s beauty. Each room is well decorated, the bed is so comfortable. We have great fun in the entertainment room. We play ping pong and enjoyed the spa. Wernard is the best host I’ve ever met in Airbnb. He showed us around the house, introduce all the rooms and equipment to us, give us a wide range of welcome foods including wine and chocolates. The chocolates were so delicious, we bought a lot as gifts to our friends. He also teaches us how to play with his pet alpaca, and mini horses. We spend a great time here. Will definitely come back again and stay longer next time. Sonia: This place is a hidden gem!! I had a fantastic time with friends and family. Wernard greeted us warmly when we arrived and was quick to respond to my messages. Would love to go back at some stage and would highly recommend! Dave: What a magical place! Great hosts...the hosts actually care about the guests...very refreshing!!! Spotlessly clean, excellent internet, TV options for those rainy nights and don't forget the game room area...what a great space!

Lovely friendly hosts. Jenna: Awesome stay for 2 nights. Hosted small gathering of 30-40 people in the barn. Everyone loved the venue and set up. Ping pong table, dart board and spa was a hit.

We loved the space downstairs with the spa and table tennis area. And our hosts were lovely! Highly recommend Shawna & Riki: This listing is an absolute gem! The property was beautiful! The home its self was beyond expectation including everything you would need for a comfortable stay and then some! The house was bright, fresh and clean, beautifully decorated, spacious, well equip, and a delight to stay in. We we also very appreciative for all the little extras (including the lovely bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary) There were even a few bonus highlights including a games room (loved the dart board), sweet farm animals, and a gorgeous setting. On top of that, our hosts were a joy to meet and interact and even called to make sure we arrived home safe following check-out. We could not have been more pleased with the kind hospitality that we received and the wonderful weekend we spent on the farm. Highly recommend for a peaceful weekend away.
