Little Red School House is a recently renovated farm stay in Oamaru, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. This property offers access to a patio, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features luggage storage space and room service for guests. I only stayed three days here, but I still think about it all the time. Driving through the golden-green hills--arriving at a tiny century-old renovated schoolhouse, with lots of breakfast foods provided--and there are hot tubs out on the deck! And chickens for friends, giving egg-presents! I felt totally spoiled. Best of all, I went on a hike on their incredible on-site farm track--one of the more stunning walks of my life, and that was the case even when a fog came down, and I had to be rescued by Nic! Which was its own whole adventure. I hope to be able to go back someday. Meanwhile, please enjoy it for me.

There is a private entrance at the farm stay for the convenience of those who stay. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Loved the beautiful landscaped garden , the hosts immediately made me feel at home offering me beverages on arrival. We had a nice chat together. The bed was comfy . I slept so well and the bathroom was just across the corridor. Jasmine made me a lovely dinner with a fabulous Tiramisu for desert. There was plenty of supplies for breakfast . It was the perfect place to rest up after travelling and the airport was close by. Thanks so much Jasmine and Paul.

Located just 15 km from Toitu Otago Settlers Museum, Hunters Moon offers accommodation in Mosgiel with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a shared kitchen. The property features lake and garden views, and is 15 km from Taieri Gorge Railway. The farm stay also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. We took an upgrade of room when we arrived as one had become available since we had booked. Idyllic location, superb room, well equipped guest kitchen and a plentiful breakfast with great views. John, the host, is so helpful and friendly - and we even got to feed the alpacas and sheep! One of those places we wished we could have stayed for longer.

Set in Puponga in the Tasman region, Mælstrøm End Eco Farmstay has a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

Guests at the farm stay will be able to enjoy activities in and around Puponga, like snorkelling, fishing and hiking. My daughter and I loved the very special location of the farm at the tippy top of the South Island, with its spectacular views en route and once we arrived. The cozy, comfy bunkie and sweet porch were a perfect mini-retreat, and we appreciated the warm hospitality of our hosts, Sea and Karl, along with their local knowledge. We enjoyed meeting many of the beloved farm animals with their hilarious names, and visiting the local swimming hole, the spectacular walks, and the incredible nearby Wharariki Beach (which was so cool even in the partial fog). All of these elements contributed to our wonderful unforgettable time at Mælstrøm End Eco Farmstay and our visit to this serene yet vibrant corner of the Earth (we already miss their magical and friendly white shepherd dog!)
