The Barn at Pelorus is outstanding. You can expect a wonderful base to explore the surroundings which include probably New Zealand's best river swimming spots. The Barn is so well kitted out with extras that it is perfect for a large group gathering. We spent my mother's 85th birthday there and loved every moment of it. One of the tests of a holiday place is how much you feel the need to "get out". I realised I spent our last day of a five-day visit entirely at The Barn. But it didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Home away from home. You won't be disappointed. Like Arnie "I'll be back".
