I took my 4 year old granddaughter for a 2 night stay in the train carriage. We had the best time. The farmyard tour was joyful. She even patted a kune kune. I'm going back in 3 weeks with my 4 year old grandson. He's going to love it! Thank you for a delightful weekend 😊

"Great stay at Wacky Stays"

9.0

The staff at wacky stays were so lovely. I had booked the Yurt but unfortunately because of the camel hair insulation affecting my asthma I wasn't able to stay in it. The staff were so helpful in changing us to the wagon instead. It was so beautiful, comfortable and had a great view of the mountains and the Llama paddock!
