Staying at Johnny's was absolutely delightful. From the warm (lamb roast) dinner he kindly prepared for us on arrival, to the cozy, comfortable bed, and the tour of the Southland region, or even the time exploring his farm - this was a perfect place to relax, explore, visit, and experience the life of multigenerational NZ farmers. Johnny is a warm, thoughtful, and gracious host. There are 3 available guest rooms that allow for families or groups traveling together. He is an interesting, well-travelled host.

Do note: Getting to his place does require travel on gravel roads, and GPS stops short of the actual house. Still, it is absolutely worth the effort to get there. We are already scheming to return!
