Your Hosts

Your hosts at The Waitomo Woolshed are Livi and Ollie along with their seven dogs, two horses, chickens, a pet sheep, and a pet pig named Apricot.

Ollie was born and raised on the family farm, which has been in the Kay family for three generations now. Livi moved from Auckland to the farm and never left.

They love the tranquility and peace of their farm life and the beauty of Waitomo. Beyond the lush native bush and the limestone formations, it's the hidden treasures like the glow worms that make their farm truly magical. Ollie is a farmer, and Livi is a horse riding coach for the local Riding for Disabled.

Ollie's work resulted in the farm becoming carbon-positive certified by 33%, showcasing their commitment to eco-friendly practices and planting efforts. In 2025, the farm achieved the Farm Assurance Plus Gold standard, demonstrating its focus on environmental practices, animal welfare, and biodiversity conservation, as assessed by Silver Fern Farms.

The name 'Waitomo Woolshed' comes from the southeast view where you can see the original Woolshed on Tumu Tumu Farm. It's a beautiful, big old silver building that is still used today and holds many special family memories.

"This is truly the most relaxing spot to spend a weekend. Luxurious, cosy, and makes you feel right at home."

"We stayed at The Woolshed during a two week holiday from the UK and stayed for 2 nights. This was a hectic holiday staying in motels and living out of a suitcase, so we really appreciated the peace and tranquillity of the Woolshed and left (very reluctantly!) feeling revived. The location and the facilities are stunning!"
