Being greeted by all the animals at different times was a highlight. We got the lamb meal-amazing. Relaxing in the bath and taking in the amazing views was the best. Had everything and more you could need. Nic went over…
Love the chickens and bath tubs
Beautifully appointed cottage with everything thought of. It was nice of Nic to pop over & introduce herself, and we loved the instant hot water sunken baths on the deck and the friendly animals.
The Little Red…
We arrived in the dark. The owners met us with our beautiful roast lamb dinner and took us to the accommodation. Such beautiful welcoming people.
No complaints
Awesome home cooked meal.
Comfortable and peaceful
Nice facility but the downside is, around 30mins drive from Oamaru town.

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
