This place is perfect for those seeking tranquil and peaceful stay during your time in New Zealand. It is off the grid, which means there’s no wifi and/or signal reception (as described in the listing); perfect for internet detox.
But don’t worry, if you need to surf the web, the closest towns, Alexandra and Roxburgh (10-15 mins away) have perfect signal reception.
Given the price, this place exceeded our expectations. The cabin was clean and tidy, equipped with a TV and mini kitchen. We had unlimited access to their farm and the hot tub (must try! we regret only trying it on our last night). There’s also a newly built and very clean private bathroom right next to our cabin, so you don’t need to walk far just to go to the bathroom.
Because it is a farm, there will be insects but the trick is to turn the lights off (because the insects will defo go after them if not) and shut the door/windows at night.
Jack and Dee really made us feel at home with their warmth and hospitality.
Big thanks to Jack for taking us up to the mountain to have a little tour of his extended farm and charming hut on my partner’s birthday. He loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this place enough.
