Lauren's Lavender Farm - Taumarunui

Stunning spot on the awa. The cafe and shop produce fantastic products so worth stopping even if the Lavender are not blooming. Find the trail to take a walk down the 129 steps to the River to get a unique perspective from the canoe landing place. Wonderful hosts.

Amazing stop on the Forgotten World Highway. The owner was really nice and made really great coffee. It's the perfect spot to stop and relax and enjoy the amazing lavender fields. It's so peaceful.

The most charming place. We stopped while we were doing the Whanganui river journey the lattes and muffins were the highlight of that day! The woman that runs it was so welcoming and friendly. Want to come back and take my mum!

Lauren's Lavender Farm is an absolute delight, treat and an out of this world place. The depth of the colour if her lavender is spectacular, the fragrance will catch you as you drive in.... you could spend hours and hours here just watching, breathing, connecting and relaxing. A must see.

We arrived here just as they were closing up but they allowed us in for a drink and quick browse through the shop. Incredibly friendly and welcoming hosts. The cafe farm is a beautiful place and we are keen to return to spend longer there!
