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

Akshay India

Hosts were exceptional. We shared lifestyle philosophy and they included us in their daily activities!

Gary United States of America

Firstly 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.

Adriaan New Zealand

Good location. Reasonable price. The owner is nice and flexible for our needs (e.g. change to another room).

Sizheng United States of America

Geva 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.

Kate Australia

Great 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.

Sue Australia

The backpackers company and the drive up the Ahururi valley.

Anonymous New Zealand

I 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!

Anonymous United States of America

The location on a working sheep station was absolutely awesome with wonderful, kind and helpful hosts.

Margaret New Zealand

Friendly, down to earth, clean, value for money. Relaxed location.
