About the host

Hosted by Pip Jamieson

Host profile image
Hamish and I bought Ngaroma Farm in 2012, we run a 1170 hectare sheep and beef farm. After the Kaikoura earthquake and a hard drought for a few years prior. We diversified our farming practice, to include tourism here at The River House.

Why they chose this property

The ability to Disconnect ...... your phone, your work, any pressure. Nothing will find you here.. Reconnect ....with family, kids, your inner peace. Listen to total silence. Walk in our beautiful backyard of native bush, manuka & beech riverside. It is spectacular.

What makes this property unique

Disconnect and Reconnect......
Everyone says the silence is amazing, feel like we are not going to be interrupted, the house is comfy and clean and warm. Plenty of walking and quietness all round.
