Your accommodation is the upstairs of our home, it is semi private, on saying that there is no way of closing the stairs off other than a screen at the top. The bedroom can be locked if required. It has all facilities needed to cook a meal. It has a bathtub in the bathroom and a small outside deck. You have private parking behind the house. Willowbark Ranch is a lifestyle block with lovely farm walks and animal therapy. The property is well maintained with easy walking tracks which boundaries onto DOC wetlands. There are horses, cattle, chooks, ducks and an old legend of a pig called Steven. It is idyllic and peaceful and is very close to the beautiful Waihi Beach and Athenree hot pools.

Hi there, I am 72 years old and are the main caretaker of our property Willowbark Ranch. My ex (Neil) also lives on the property but works away during the day. My interests are wide and varied. I love country music and anything to do with Cowboys. Willowbark Ranch used to be a B&B many years ago but was closed down when my marriage failed and I took on working for the Elderly. I've come full circle, Neil has come back to board and the final chapter of caring for the oldies is coming to an end. Both Neil and myself are a couple of typical country bumpkins and are very friendly and interested in people's lives. We are very down to earth and have pride in our beautiful little paradise. I had great reviews in the old days, and I would expect to be at the top of your list of places to stay in New Zealand.

We have the most amazing neighbourhood and friendly neighbours who love to attend a good old cowboy party in Shona's garage saloon. We have no problems in Athenree Heights, a well respected and safe place to stay and wander around.
