“Loved the separate unit, all required facilities, spotlessly clean and a thoughtful host.”

Great stay when you’re looking for a little relaxing getaway! The host, Alan (& his dogs), is one of the friendliest people I met in New Zealand. Highly recommend!!

“Happy to stay again.”

Great views, nice dogs, superbly helpful owner!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The barn is a lovely creative and unique space. Also enjoyed the company of the host and his friendly dogs. Would definitely stay again.

“Amazing”

Everything. Alan is great. Super helpful and accommodating. Lovely rustic barn conversation, beautifully done.

“Thank you Alan for a very relaxing stay”

Loved the building size, even though the weather was not great we had heaps of space inside and the fire was wonderful!! Very dog friendly.

Our host was so welcoming and made it so welcoming for us and even put the fire on for us when we were coming back late from an event

“Beautifully peaceful, great service :)”

Beautifully peaceful property and excellent service - Allan was very welcoming and flexible allowing me to bring my little dog and having a late check out. Barn was very warm and set up lovely with a yummy breakfast too! I loved watching Allan’s dog watch the chicken without touching it all morning! :)

“Host with the most! Highly recommend!”

Such a beautiful place to stay with everything you’d need but the highlight is the wonderful hospitality of Alan. So warm and welcoming. Thank you!

Beautiful space, very comfortable, friendly dogs and lovely accommodating host who even put the fire on for us while we were out for dinner!

“I will return again”

I had my daughter with me for otago open day. we booked anopther accomodation but when we arrived after a 11 hour drive the accomodation was rebooked and cancelled on us. It was 9pm, and the host replied to a voice message plea for somewhere to stay. he calmed us, and accepted us late night, and put the fire on to warm the accomodation. he was so kind, and made a bad experience into a wonderful warm welcoming stay. he provided fruit,ceral, and fresh eggs for breakfast. support this man and his place, it is a great place to stay.

“A magical retreat”

Was a magical experience, on our return to Dunedin will never look for any other accommodation, we found the ultimate. Alan is the perfect host, and we can never thank him enough for allowing us to share his vision of utopia, with his trusted companions Bella and George. We miss The Barn already, and can't wait for a return visit.

“peaceful and quiet.”

Rural location, peaceful and the host was a really nice guy.

Cozy fireplace and very nice host !!

“We felt at home with everything we could want. Very calm atmosphere.”

Private and spacious. Relaxing and peaceful vibe.

Lovely owner Alan was very accomodating and warm. The barn was a rustic charm with beautiful lush bush surroundings. I took my dog who loved the stay just as much as we did! Thank you Alan!

Every thing animals allowed And Alan was genuine Good bloke Very welcoming and relaxed

“A perfect hideaway”

We loved everything about the Barn. Alan was a fantastic host. The location was amazing. The Barn was comfortable, warm and very well equipped. We would have loved to have stayed longer.

“Peaceful, serene, warm and comfortable, with all mod cons.”

The Barn was the perfect spot to stay for our last night in Te Wai Pounamu/ South Island. It was in the cool, lush bush, the sound of birds and chooks the only disturbance; no traffic to contend with, no noisy neighbours. The bed was very comfortable, the water hot, the barn warm, with its wood fire, and the two dogs very friendly. Alan, the host made us welcome from the moment we arrived - and he even found a bottle of very tasty wine for us to have with our evening meal - which he also provided. We were very grateful that we didn't need to leave the serenity.
