The farm stay provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, and a private bathroom with shower and a hair dryer. A toaster, a fridge and stovetop are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the farm stay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. We (4 people) spent 3 weeks on the south island of New Zealand and this was one of our favorite places. The house is located on a pretty farm and has lots of windows looking out on the lovely yard. The house is tastefully furnished and the kitchen is well stocked so we could prepare our meals. We appreciated the brand new gas grill. Queenstown was about a 30 minute drive. I highly recommend Judge and Jury!
