A wonderful historic home (with modern conveniences) in a rural setting. ‘Beanbag’ the giant sheep is a charmer.

We cycled out to the Farm.... wondered where we were going...down dirt road... down farm track. Farmhouse looks very old at a distance ... and it is! But clean as ..peaceful.. historic features abound... a step back in time. Peter is warm and gracious host. Lent us a car to get back to Waipiate Hotel for evening meal which was busy with locals and cyclists. Good value and good quality.

That fact that I didn’t own it!

What a fantastic accidental find. The advert and description are very good , but it still doesn’t do it justice. If you’re looking for a piece of New Zealand history, this is a pioneers dream location. Stunning, quirky location. Amazing un- light polluted skies. Crisp, clean 5star bedding, and friendly sheep to help you unwind! Host is very helpful and informative. Can’t wait to visit again with extended family.

What a gem! Peter's Farm is a beautiful spot on farmland. We stayed here during our Otago Rail Trail ride. The rooms are all extremely clean, tidy and beautifully set out. Bed super comfy and really nice sheets and towels. We stayed in the miners cabin that has been renovated to keep its charm but have the new luxuries you'd expect in a new build. The bathroom isn't in the room as an ensuite but 3 steps outside and again, spotlessly clean! The original homestead is incredible! We couldn't believe how clean and tidy the entire house was, along with the history of the house and all of the original architecture. Peter lent us his van to take to the Waipiata Pub for tea - this is a must visit for their famous pies! Peter had fresh baked bread waiting for us in the morning to have for breakfast along with coffee, fruit, and an assortment of cereals. If you are wondering whether to stay here or not, definitely do it! Memorable, beautiful and we loved every minute!

being visited by our host uninvited. he walked thru the house while we were sitting outside admiring our surroundings. A knock would have been appreciated. We didnt know beforehand that the house could have been full of cyclist from the Otago Railtrail and we were very lucky we were the only people staying. Never realised it housed 16 if required.

Peter baked us fresh bread for our breakfast which was superb.

Bread. Animals.

It's an old farm house and not the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. So you know, what to expect. We were satisfied in general. Sometimes you could hear the neighbours through the wall and for my personal opinion, the Beds were a bit too soft... But that's just some minor points.

Location, Location, Location! In the pure middle of nowhere lies this piece of Beauty. On our arrival was Peter just going to feed the sheep. So he asked us, If we would like to join. A few minutes later we found ourselves surrounded be sheep to give them pellets and ended up to feed a little lamb with a milk bottle. Peter explained a Lot about the history of the bulidung, gave us tips for the Otago Central Rail Trail and recommondation for bike hire. He baked fresh bread for breakfast. He even called us back, that I've forgotten my powerbank in the room, so we could return and collect it. All in all it was a wunderful experience for us.

We really enjoyed being out in the country. Peter was a great host, the accommodation was unique but extremely comfortable and the ambiance was great.

Peter is very friendly and helpful. The Atmosphäre of the house

Everything was fine.

Charming country location, not far from Waipiata. Very well set up for cyclists. I noticed a charging station for e-bikes and saw that Peter would lend a van to cyclists who wanted to go to the village pub for dinner. Peter is enthusiastic about his homestead and the general region and will give you ideas for side trips. We stayed in the little cottage, which was cute and comfortable, and included a bathroom accessible along a little outdoor ramp. We could also use the homestead common rooms (living, dining, kitchen).

Unique and smartly thought through. Very rustic and Kiwi flair for those who like to stay in nature. We needed to walk through a sheep paddock. Not for the hight heel silky high heel folks. 👠

Breakfast could include more - is very basic continental with canned fruit. The homemade bread was great.

Really old character house. In the middle of nowhere..

Leaving!

This is a fantastic base for a family to explore Central Otago. We stayed for 3 nights and will be returning as we still didn’t tick everything off our list! Thìs property is beautiful and spacious to return and relax in. A slice of heaven.

A note rather than a negative that the property is a good 10kms up a shingle road

My husband stayed 1 night on a solo motorbike trip and really enjoyed his stay. Nice facilities with a very comfortable room, bed and shared lounge. Peter is friendly and very attentive to guests even providing freshly baked bread for breakfast along with butter, jam and a selection of cereals. Very good value for money. Also recommend dinner at the Waipiata Hotel 5 mins drive away.

None.

Peter was very nice showing us around the house and making us feel comfortable and safe we even got to feed the sheep which was very enjoyable. Even thought there were problems with the Internet Peter tried very hard to solve the issue but couldn't and immediately changed us to another house with everything working properly. He made sure we were satisfied, if you want a farm stay experience this is definitely the right choice.

After a day in the snow and rain to come to a warm inviting destination made our day. Appreciated the fire and heating in the bedrooms.
