Hostel Dunstan Downs High Country Sheep Station
Dunstan Downs High Country Sheep station, 9448 Omarama, New Zealand – Great location - show map
Everything was amazing right in the middle of sheep grazing, it had a beautiful private lake, and an open bath heated by a gas lighter
IndiaHosts were exceptional. We shared lifestyle philosophy and they included us in their daily activities!
United States of AmericaFirstly we had to phone that we are lost. We had shot past it in the dark but we were given directions and made welcome with a lovely hot cup of tea. Super comfy bed in a warm clean room. We enjoyed the cooked breakfast very much with the hosts. We enjoyed the lovely chat over breakfast.
New ZealandGood location. Reasonable price. The owner is nice and flexible for our needs (e.g. change to another room).
United States of AmericaGeva and Tim were great hosts and happy to offer any information about the area. Our daughter fed one of their lambs and thought it was the best. Breakfast was delicious and views spectacular.
AustraliaGreat little place that had everything I needed. Super comfortable bed with lovely linen made me feel at home. Great value for money and if you ask you could feed the lambs.
AustraliaThe backpackers company and the drive up the Ahururi valley.
New ZealandI particularly appreciated how they had incorporated all the authentic features of an authentic sheep station--such as keeping the use of wood tables, benches and counters--but also adding the modern updates (wi-fi, etc.). And everything was so clean!
United States of AmericaThe location on a working sheep station was absolutely awesome with wonderful, kind and helpful hosts.
New ZealandFriendly, down to earth, clean, value for money. Relaxed location.
