We can't recommend this place enough. Karl and Melanie are fantastic hosts, and even their son helped out by bringing down a lamb for my children to feed.
The house is a lovely farmhouse with everything you could need. The beds are so comfortable that it made it hard to actually get up in the morning to go out sightseeing! Also, the highlight of our trip was being shown around the farm by Karl. The kids really enjoyed this, more than any other activity we've done in the week we have been in the South Island.
