My husband, toddler and I had the perfect stay at Five Acre Farm. We had spent most of our time in Queenstown, Wanaka, Cardrona and Milford Sound and weren’t expecting much out of our Christchurch stop. We were pleasantly surprised. It was a perfect end to our trip. We had the opportunity to spend time with Brie’s sheep’s and cow - even feeding them milk and sheep nuts! It was such an experience. It was great to spend time in the gardens where she is growing a number of fruits and vegetables.
The house itself is beautifully designed; you can tell a lot of time and attention was put into the details. There was even a crib and kids' books for our boy! Brie was very responsive before our arrival and was reachable during our stay if we needed it.
There is a supermarket about 10mins drive, a delicious bakery about a 5mins drive and a few hikes and shopping areas nearby.
Staying at the farm felt like an extension of our holiday - rather than a pit stop before our long haul flight out of New Zealand! It was a true modern farm experience. We would 100% stay again.
