THE STORY OF MOIFAA FARM
A Name With History
Our farm is named after Moifaa, a New Zealand-bred racehorse with one of the most incredible stories in racing history. In 1904, Moifaa and his breeder (Kaaren’s great-great uncle, Spencer Gollan) survived a shipwreck on their voyage to England.
Against all odds, Moifaa went on to win the Grand National at Aintree and became a favourite of King Edward VII, even pulling the King’s casket through the streets of London years later.
When we bought our Tamahere property in 2021, we thought it only fitting to honour that legacy.
Like Moifaa, our farm carries a sense of resilience, beauty, and quiet strength, a reminder that every journey leaves its mark.
“Words can’t really describe how amazing Kaaren and Tim’s place was we had the best time time and kaaren such great hosts nothing to much trouble house is out of this world gorgeous great pool and beautiful surroundings thank you both for a truly great stay”
