Our stay at The Barn was part of our Alps 2 Ocean cycle journey. We fell in love with The Barn, and everyone and everything in it. We particularly liked pet sheep Russell and Monica and pet cat Lala and pet dog Tay. The food was excellent, the company was charming and we loved exploring the eclectic collection of artefacts.

The place was beautiful and Hugh was such a great host! The area is a pretty good stop by Mt. Cook and between Christchurch and Queenstown. It is a little off the main road, which makes it especially beautiful and remote feeling, even though you aren't that far from Twizel. The place is gorgeous, decorated with beautiful antiques, but also very comfortable and welcoming. Once you get to the property, you don't want to leave! We just hung out with Hugh and Dwayne the whole evening and they were so friendly and accommodating. We got to play with their sheep and their friendly pets. The room options are quite cute and very comfortable. And we had a great time talking with them all night and wish we could have stayed longer.

The host is exceptional! Far exceeded my expectations. He welcomed us by putting our national flag up! He spends time with all of us (including my children), listening and talking. He makes us feel totally at home. My best stay in New Zealand. Though the location is not "along the main road", personally it's worth the drive in, along Lake Ohau.

Great breakfast, outstanding hospitality, kindness and caring of the host, lovely comfortable room

We love Hugh and Wayne, and everything about the property. Thank you to all who previously gave their review on this place and advised others to stay at least two (2) night.

The warmth, the love and hospitality of Hugh and Dwayne are one of the best thing you can give yourself because after getting to know Hugh and Dwayne and staying at The Barn, you will fall in love with NZ and its people all the more. We got to meet the rest of the The Barn family too - Lala, Tay, Minky... I want to soak up everything and store everything in my memory bank - what I saw, felt and experience while in The Barn. From the snow capped mountain range, to the beautiful starry night sky, fantastic dinner and breakfasts and most of all, the heart-warming welcome of Hugh and Dwayne. Ahh...purr-fect....

Absolutely beautiful property. It’s very remote & peaceful, and the views are amazing. Hugh was such an extraordinary host - we felt like we were staying with a good friend. Breakfast was amazing. And paid for dinner, which was delicious and plentiful, both food and wine. Can not recommend more highly.

We highly recommend The Barn when travelling in this area. The location is picturesque and Hugh was so welcoming, we really felt at home. The dinner and breakfast were the best we had on our entire trip and we will definitely return again. Thank you Hugh for your company and hospitality.

Great stay with the most fun Kiwi! we arrived as guest and left as family!

Hugh was a wonderful host! The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, the bed was the most comfortable we've ever slept in, and Hugh is a fantastic chef! We were presented with amazing fresh meals, home cooked and totally delicious. Highly recommend staying at the Barn at Killin.
