Stunning location. Tiny but comfortable, clean and cosy converted shepherds shed. The outside bath with lovely hot water and perfumed fizzing bath bomb was an amazing experience, as was looking at the starlit sky later with no light pollution. The fact that there was no TV or internet, plus the composting toilet added to the rustic character of this unique dwelling.

The host is very lovely and welcoming. A cozy and heartwarming retreat! The hut is private and provides a peaceful escape, perfect for unwinding. We are already talking about coming back!

Nothing to dislike; very well equipped and a very friendly host.

It was small, compact and neat just what we expected from a shepherds hut.

The one thing I’d recommend is swapping the large floor heater fake potbelly for a wall heater so you don’t use that space for something you could put on the wall and free up for a bag.

The privacy yet expansive views, the quiet, the animals, the outdoor piped bathtub(!), the simple nature of the stay.

The location was amazing and with an outdoor bath to enjoy whilst chatting to the alpacas

Nothing it was amazing

Awesome farm stay, super comfy bed, alpacas to keep you company, basic cooking facilities, BBQ. Also has an outdoor bath with hot water, although it was a bit cold to used when we were there

A bedside table/shelf on both sides of the bed would be great.

Very cosy tiny house with everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Beautiful rural setting which was very peaceful yet close to town. Very clean and comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches, including an outdoor bathtub. Food for the cute llamas and sheep in the nearby paddock included. Eco friendly with a bamboo composting toilet

Stayed in January 2025

Toilet is definitely odd and would be a bit unpleasant if there for more than one night unless the bag was changed out daily. No wifi either

Beautiful area, quiet, alpacas are right at your front door

More instructions on where dishes etc are, how to use shower

The view from the kitchen area was amazing, only 10 min from the center of town, the alpacas were the highlight of my stay!

She is kind and patient, and the house is warm and well-functional. Very amazing and unique experience in NZ farm.

The whole vibe was so cute and perfect. We were allowed to feed the alpacas which were just adorable. It was a 10/10 experience.

I cannot recommend this place highly enough - it is absolutely incredible. Jennie has thought of everything to make the hut feel luxurious as well as cosy, the extra touches are magical (chocs, great selection of hot drink options, lovely soft bath robe to name a few). Outdoor bath and the alpacas are just extraordinary, views and location superb. A wonderful place to really relax and a great base for exploring Oamaru and its surrounding area.

The accomodation was lovely and the view was supburb. Everything that was provided met our needs for the stay. There are quite a few things to see in Oamaru and the hut is close enough and also far away enough to be removed and private with the bonus of the outdoor bath.

Cute tiny house with a great outdoor tub. The night sky while soaking was an experience to enjoy. The friendly alpacas were a bonus.

Jennie is a wonderful host and made us feel very welcomed. Even though it’s quite compact, it has everything we needed. The moment we stepped into the farm, we felt so relaxed and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Love it here. I am missing the three Alpaca Brothers and the sheep already. Love that we could feed them and interact with them anytime we wanted and the cutie pies made us feel very loved and welcomed too!

Everything was good.

Beautifully situated in the Oamaru countryside with a great view from the door. The hut has a double bed, small table, sink, two ring hob and toaster and is more than sufficient for a few nights stay. The bathroom area has a shower, basin and a bamboo composting toilet which was absolutely fine with no smells at all. The owner provides alpaca food to feed the 3 alpacas and 2 sheep nearby to the hut. Overall our stay was excellent with a friendly, efficient owner, a pleasant hut with a great view. 5 out of 5 for our stay.

Quirky and fun from the gypsy caravan shaped cabin to the alpacas and sheep that greet you every morning. We loved our stay here and feeding the critters was a delight.
