Mangaroa, a neighbourhood in Upper Hutt, is home to this farm stay. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Gentian Reserve and Whakatiki Buffer Reserve, while Heretaunga Players and Gillies Group Theatre are cultural highlights. Silver Stream Railway and Fell Locomotive Museum are also worth visiting. Fishing and swimming offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and mountain biking nearby.
Our apologies, unfortunately due to ill health our B&B is temporarily closed.
Nestled in the heart of the countryside and yet only forty minutes drive from our capital, Wellington, Arorangi Country Homestay is the perfect choice when you are looking for a much needed break or a place to escape, relax and unwind. Arorangi Country Homestay is the perfect base for walkers, trampers, cyclists, mountain bikers, hunters, fishermen and fisherwomen.
After a long day exploring the local area or returning from shopping in the vibrant city of Wellington, why not kick off your shoes, relax with a glass of local wine and enjoy the peace and views across the Mangaroa Valley. When the sun begins to set and the sky turns to dark blue, look up and study the night sky.
So, if you are looking for a great holiday destination, or you have a special occasion to celebrate, we hope you will make Arorangi Country Homestay your first choice. You will be made very welcome and we look forward to seeing you.

Peaceful .friendly and super clean!!!
Beautiful place to stay. Very clean. Had everything we needed. Very friendly host and we loved all the personal touches especially the hot crossants in the morning :)
Delightful self contained downstairs apartment. Nice personal touch in peaceful rural location. Only stayed the one night as we were a bit pressed for time but was definitely tempted to find an excuse to stay another. ð¯ð

Beautiful and serene
We absolutely loved everything about this lovely farmhouse. Ann and Miles were truly warm and wonderful hosts. The breakfast was fabulous. Ann provided us with lots of helpful information about the area. Wished we had been able to stay longer! Would highly recommend it!
