Forest Haven, also known as The Barn, is a cosy and peaceful abode nestled on the edge of farm pasture and tall gum trees. This quiet nook is ideal for couples or a small whānau looking to unwind in the calm of nature.
Inside, you'll find a warm, inviting space with a queen bed, comfortable lounge furnishings, a fireplace, and a heater to keep things toasty through the seasons. Large windows open to peaceful rural views, with golden light pouring in and native birds your closest neighbours.
The Barn offers a true sense of privacy, while still being close to the wider Mangaroa Farms landscape. Step outside and you’re just minutes from forest walks through gum groves and regenerating bush. It’s a place to reconnect with nature, read by the fire, and breathe easy.
Guests are welcome to pop down the road to our Farm Shop / Kete Kai to pick up fresh produce, or wander one of the nearby trails winding through gardens, forest edges, and quiet farm tracks.
Whether you're here for a digital detox, a quiet creative retreat, or just to rest your bones, Forest Haven gives you the simple beauty of rural life with all the comforts you need.
