Our one night stay on this farm was incredible. The cottage is super clean and cozy. We started a fire in the wood stove and settled in nice and toasty after cooking dinner from provisions bought at the mini grocery at Lake Tekapo. The hidden secret about this property however are the hosts Michelle and Steve. These two are just some of the nicest, most knowledgeable and interesting folks we have met in all of our travels and it was a pleasure staying with them. This is a working sheep farm and Michelle and Steve were generous in sharing their farming expertise, their love of animals, local knowledge / history and their passion for life in New Zealand and life in general.
If you are just looking for a place to sleep for a few hours you are missing the point, but if you are curious about the world you are traveling through, don't miss the opportunity presented at Burkes Pass Farm.
Thank you Michelle and Steve, it was truly a delight.
