Vacation & Holiday Homes
See our Holiday Home Picture Page
We have two holiday homes at a distance from each other.
The first is named after Thelma's ancestral home in Southern Ireland "Rathfardon"
the other named after the well known Southern Irish Town famed for Johnny Green's, "Clonroche."
(Please note: Our Tophouse has now been sold so we thank all those visitors who booked and enjoyed holidays there in the past).
Pottsbury Farm is an environmentally friendly five hectares of flora and fauna. Extensive plantings of trees,
many experimental, have attracted a wide variety of birdlife and one can enjoy a peaceful stroll or quiet read in a shady spot.
The Holiday Homes are situated only a few minutes walk from a beach which affords safe, shallow water for children.
There is a wonderful range of coastal walks and nearby Kauri Point offers a popular jetty for fishing or swimming.
Other places of interest in the area include the vintage railway at Waihi which takes you into the Karangahake Gorge
and the start of the beautiful walk along the banks of the Ohinemuri River, through the old railway tunnel to see the
gold mining relics of last century. Have lunch at the historic Station cafe, Ohinemuri Winery in the gorge or
Waitete Ice Creamery and cafe in Waihi.
