Summary: What an amazing wee place to stay. Really clean and tidy. Welcoming, warm (heater was on for us) and inviting. Bed was so comfortable! We didnt get to use the outside bath, due to weather, but on clear night it would have been amazing.

Summary: This was just the most awesome place to stay in! The quietness and solitude is so good for the soul! But the town is 10 minutes away if you prefer the delights of sightseeing, eating out, and soaking in the historical atmosphere of the Place! The sheep and the Alpacas were simply delightful! We were also fortunate enough to see several yellow eyed penguins at the nearby beach and meet a lovely warden Julie who knew a lot about them! We also got to see a little owl too at the farm! A first for us! Jennie was the perfect hostess! It was lovely chatting to her during our stay there! Thank you for making us so comfortable and cosy! We intend to visit again in the not too distant future!

Summary: lovely spot. maybe a deck and verandah would be a good addition to give some shelterd outdoor space? I'm sure its great in summery weather as it is — but the weather was not so great when we were there and there isn't really an indoor space to hang out in. otherwise clean tidy lovely and quiet location. The lamas are a hoot.
