My girlfriend and I stayed at Michelle's farm for one night while in Hokitika on a South Island roadtrip. Michelle and her family were very warm and welcoming, despite the fact that we showed up much later than we predicted. The room was great--even more than we expected (hot water, breakfast foods, snacks) and very cool decorations. The location is a bit out of town, so not great for going back and forth to the city but better for relaxing at the end of a day and recharging to hit the road again. Michelle gave us a great farm tour in the morning and we enjoyed feeding the sheep.
