Lovely farm property
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The house is very well appointed and in a beautiful location. We really enjoyed walking around the property and visiting the local sites. Sara is a great host and was easy to communicate with. The only down side is that dogs weren’t allowed inside despite being listed as a dog-friendly accommodation.

Best small group accommodation ever.
We were exceptionally fortunate to have found this amazing accommodation. The location is fantastic and allowed for easy transport times to Timaru and our racing locations for the day. The house itself has a wonderful, elevated view over the valley and was very well appointed. Clean and well managed. The owner was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay as good as possible. We will defiantly be recommending this location to friends and family.
