Gibbs Farm is cool, in a craft beer and homemade cupcake kind of way. Think organic cottons and vegetable patches and you're on the right track.
You'll find it in the fertile Karatu Valley: the drive there is incredible, climbing up through coffee plantations and banana plants. And there's lots to do once you arrive. Bake bread in the morning, join in with the harvest, roast your own cup of coffee. It's a chance to get back to nature, without going full-on Good Life.
