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

Extremely honest owners. I unknowingly booked for 2 instead of 1. She recognized and fixed it and cut the price in half. Good comfortable bed, great breakfast!

William, United States of America

A night in the ensuite was clean, quiet and very comfortable. The cooked breakfast and dinner were very good and plentiful. The hostess, Geva, is very interesting and informative.

James, United States of America

It was a stay with a difference - we really liked the quirky little bach

Jenny, New Zealand

Staying in a farm is a great experience in NZ. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good. Had a feeling to stay in a friend house.

Quanhe, United States of America

Great hosts and very accommodating given our slightly late arrival. Room was big and comfortable. Breakfast was large with plenty of food and drink and great conversation.

Adam, United States of America

We stayed in Tim's Cabin and it was gorgeous. We were very surprised at the riverside setting and were charmed by the outdoor bath - I can only imagine how beautiful the bath experience would be if the lupins were blooming and the briar roses in flower around the bath - awesome! Fabulous fresh cotton sheets and the sound of the river - we slept like logs!

Janne, New Zealand

Lovely rustic accommodation work everything you need.

Jonathan, United States of America

The smallness of the living room meant all the guests socialised with each other and was one of my favourite nights in New Zealand. The wifi works well and there are heaters for those cold nights. Plus the showers are pretty good!

Geva and Tim were great hosts, making guests feel completely at home. Beautiful, peaceful setting with great views from the living room and deck. My room (single room in the main house) was cosy, warm and clean. Really enjoyed joining the morning sheep muster and the delicious cooked breakfast afterwards. Thank you Tim and Geva for a great NZ experience!

Its bit further away from shops and resraurants. But hey what do you expect from a sheep farm otherwise:) but i hoped to have more sheep next to the accomodation.
Its basic, similar to a small campground. The stars are amazing, and yhe little wagon done with a lot of love. Great place to be if you like the outdoor and camping but with the comfort of a roof and a bed.

At 10 am in the next morning the internet was turned off! We haven`t received any kind of help even that we are booking the place where we suppose to spend the next night! They just said they cannot "control " the internet service status. But there were another network with the same name (just without a number) which was working properly! Rude people!
The kitchen and bathroom was pretty clean!

Simply lovely. Geva made an effort to pronounce my name and she got it right! Her and Tim made me feel at home. We had a good hour long chat. I was a solo female traveller and felt comfortable. Single bed homestay - clean comfortable warm. Had an electric blanket and towel all ready for me. Breakfast was AMAZING. Good to get me energy for my hike. They were kind enough to let me accompany them when they fed their sheep. Lovely dogs. Defs would come here again. They are so really close to the outdoor hot tubs in omarama :)

The heater in the room was a little underpowered for the -3C outside temperature. When you arrive make sure to drive up the track to go to reception, as the signs telling you to do so are not very obvious
Back to basics but it has everything you need. Nice shared kitchen/dining room and cosy sitting room alongside the basic but functional and clean showers and loos. Bed was very warm and comfortable! Owners are friendly and happy to help with advice on places to walk etc. Fantastic scenic surroundings!
