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.
SingaporeGreat breakfast, outstanding hospitality, kindness and caring of the host, lovely comfortable room
HungaryWe 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.
PhilippinesThe 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....
PhilippinesAbsolutely 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.
United States of AmericaWe 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.
New ZealandGreat stay with the most fun Kiwi! we arrived as guest and left as family!
United States of AmericaHugh 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.
United States of AmericaHugh was an amazing hostess and the stay felt like you were treated as family. Great hospitality and fantastic cooking from him. Would highly recommend any solo travelers or couples to stay more than one night.
United States of AmericaOur host, Hugh, was so charming, helpful, welcoming. It was cold and rainy and we were welcomed like old friends to a cozy fire and delicious wine. Hugh, and later, his mum and dad engaged us in lively conversation and gave us so much interesting history of the area and of NZ itself. The property is a little off the “beaten path”, but so worth the drive. Breakfast was a gourmet delight, served on heirloom china and crystal. We only wished we could have lingered longer! Thanks, Hugh!
