🇳🇿 New Zealand Taupō Farm Stay – A Perfect Day Trip! 🐑🌄

✨ Unexpected Paradise Near Auckland On my layover in NZ, I booked a hidden gem on Booking.com—a 20-acre hilltop farmstay overlooking Lake Taupō and distant snow-capped mountains! The experience was beyond magical. 🏡 Hilltop Whakaipo Estate Panoramic views from every window—wake up to glittering lakes + alpine peaks! Animal lovers’ heaven: 3 friendly Labradors 🐕, deer (including Molly the hand-raised fawn 🦌 who comes when called!), chickens, ducks, sheep, and cows. Farm tour included—feed the deer, collect eggs, or just cuddle the dogs! ☕ Breakfast with a View Hosts (ex-café owners!) serve gourmet eggs Benedict + creamy lattes 🍳☕. Dine by floor-to-ceiling windows—every bite comes with million-dollar scenery. 💡 Pro Tips Book direct next time (saves on Booking.com fees!). Ideal for families, couples, or solo travelers craving serenity + fur therapy. #NZFarmStay #TaupōHiddenGem #LakeTaupōViews #AnimalLovers #NZTravel #GlampingVibes #OffTheBeatenPath #BucketListStay 🌿🐾
