Peter's Farm Lodge

Beautiful location genuine farm stay

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.

That fact that I didn’t own it!

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

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.

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!

Bread. Animals.

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.

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.

Rustic house...

Sleeping in a shed with an attached toilet shed for $170pn for two was not a good deal
