The Shed and Breakfast was one of the highlights of my New Zealand trip and by far my favorite place to stay. David went above and beyond to make sure I had the best farmstay possible, even with the challenging circumstances surrounding the ever changing COVID-19 situation. He kept me updated on all of the new government regulations and was very accommodating as I altered my travel plans to return home early. On the farm, he modified the farm tour so I could still enjoy it while we abided by the social distancing recommendations. He even offered to let me return to the farm if I ended up getting stuck in the country, a kind gesture that nearly moved me to tears! David is an amazing host and human being, and Barley made me feel so welcome too!
On top of the wonderful hosts, the Shed is just a great place to stay. The WiFi is strong and there are plenty of amenities to keep warm, from a space heater to wool robes and booties. The bed was comfy and warm and I loved waking up to a view of the sunrise on the farm. The kitchen is fully equipped with a single induction burner and all of the tools you would need to whip up a meal. The ingredients provided for breakfast were top notch. This is a must do for anyone visiting New Zealand and I will certainly be back!
