Stayed one night at the Blackbird's Nest. What a fun way to start our trip around South Island! Drew met us on arrival and introduced us to the quarters as well as to the llamas (Fluffy and Derek) and Chops the sheep. It's a tidy little room converted from a portion of a utility outbuilding next to the main house. It's thoughtfully decorated and they provide everything you need for a cozy continental brekkie with tea and coffee. The shower and toilet are in the main house so you need to go outside and back for access. The access, however, is private and it's very well equipped and also decorated beautifully. Great hospitality and we highly recommend for those wanting to escape the norm and spend some time in a quiet and cozy space with some furry neighbors thrown in for good measure.
