Ann and Plyths Homestead was absolutely beautiful and a great escape from the hustle and bustle. They were both very warm and welcoming and nothing was too much hassle. Breakfast in the morning was an absolute treat and the room/bathroom we had was a great size with a super comfy bed. Would absolutely not hesitate to stay here again or recommend to any friends and family travelling through the area. Thanks again for having us. 🌸

That we didn't stay longer!

"Awesome and Amazing!"

10.0

Homely feel and welcoming host, and only 2.2 kms to the pub! A wood fire was burning when we arrived returned from pub and woke in the morning. The lounge was welcoming. Comfortable bed, scrumptious breakfast, amazing location with beautiful views over the mountains. Thank you Blythe for making the first day of our holiday so memorable!

"Wonderful homestead. Beautiful views and starry nights. Fabulous hosts. Delicious breakfast!"

10.0

We loved everything! From the moment we arrived , driving up the tree lined driveway, we were treated like long lost friends by Blyth as he came to greet us. The room we had was beautiful. Our bed was so comfotable. Breakfast was such a treat and we looked forward to it each day. Such a treat to one’s senses! The guest lounge was heated with a log fire that Blyth ensured was constantly kept burning. The lounge was very welcoming and cozy and looked out onto beautiful gardens with a bubbling stream. You can spot some sheep next door too. Blyth is a wonderful host and a great conversationalist. A life well lived and very interesting. We loved coming “home” each night to the crackling fire, coffee and biscuits and enjoy the homestead. Looking into the starry nights! We can honestly say that we have never stayed in a place that we wished we could stay longer and were sad to leave. Excellent value!

"Fantastic property, location and host."

9.0

This is an exceptional property. A real home from home. Beautiful bedroom and the lounge for the use of residents was superb. Log burner was on so it was really cosy. We only stayed one night then had three in a top quality hotel In Queenstown. On reflection we should have split it, two and two and did the distillery and dinner at the Cardrona hotel. Blyth is such a nice guy and very sociable. He does the best poached eggs in NZ! I have since returned to Scotland but my daughter stays in Wellington. She and her soon husband to be, a Kiwi, intend staying at the Homestead later this year.

Absolutely nothing
