Group Tour Farmstays

Rural Tourism handles a large number of group tour farmstay bookings. Unlike some countries that offer one large 'ranch' with commercial accommodation on-site, Rural Tourism offers accommodation on individual working farms for groups of 10-400 people.

Group Tour Booking and Operations Process

• You or your tour company sends us the requested dates, number of people, and preferred farm location.
• You divide yor group into sub groups of four people per farm and send us your preferred rooming list (or we can do this for you)
• We allocate each sub group to an applicable farmstay host, and send you the final rooming list for the overall group, together with the meeting place for your bus.
• All hosts will meet your group at the meeting place in their own vehicle, and will transfer each sub group to their individual farm (usually within 20 minutes of the meeting place)
• On the day of departure, each farm host will return their group to the meeting place.
