The farm stay is fitted with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a terrace with garden views. This farm stay also has a patio that doubles up as an outdoor dining area. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. I loved the rural location, the peace & quiet of the beautiful countryside; the farm animals & Jenny was very friendly & helpful. I'd love to return for a longer stay to explore Oamaru further.

Jasmine made our stay as comfortable as we were home! The house was spotless clean. She was super friendly and such an excellent cook! We ordered dinner and breakfast, she provided us with so much food and it was delicious! Wish we could book a couple more nights but her facility was so popular and we didn’t get in. Well, until next time!

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!

Set in Takaka, River Song Retreat Golden Bay offers accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. When staying at the farm stay, guests can use private entrance. We had an amazing four nights at River Song. Everything exceed our expectations. The Truck Home provided both novelty value, but was also very comfortable, clean, and cosy. The kitchen was great to cook in and well equipped. The farm and gardens were so relaxing, and we just wanted to spend all our time relaxing there. Lisa and Geoff were lovely and knowledgeable hosts. We couldn’t recommend enough.
