It was a tools-down this week at Bellbird Farm 😄

We decided we’d earned a little break to celebrate the business turning 2 this month — that’s 104 out of 104 Saturdays at the market since June 2024!

So for our first proper holiday in more than two years, we spent three relaxing days at Waikite Valley Hot Pools, just outside of Rotorua.

Our gardening bodies thoroughly appreciated the long soaks in the many thermal pools on offer, and we can’t recommend this incredible place highly enough. The facilities are excellent, the staff are fantastic, and it’s officially become our annual winter getaway.

We arrived home today feeling refreshed and ready to begin harvesting tomorrow for this weeks market.

Here’s a photo from this morning’s 6am dip in our favourite onsite thermal pool, which just happened to be called the “Garden Pool” 🌿

A huge thank you to Waikite Valley Hot Pools for the much-needed rest and relaxation!
