A piece of pure paradise. Barn 8 is nestled amongst tranquil farmland and rugged hill-scape.
We were unfamiliar with Hawea Flat but soon learned it’s just a 6-minute drive from the clear waters at Lake Hawea, 15 minutes from Wanaka, 50 minutes from Mount Aspiring’s Blue Pools, and 1.25 hours from Queenstown. Adventure holidayers, this one’s for you.
Jennie’s barn has been converted into a stylish, well-equipped space with everything we needed for our stay—from peppermint tea, to outdoor beanbags.
We loved Barn 8 so much that we spent 2/6 of our days relaxing on the property.
We cooked most of our meals here with ease. We found everything we needed including a can opener, grater, garlic crusher, BBQ, oil, and *bonus* a dishwasher.
Beautifully clean, very clear check-in instructions, and no invasion of privacy despite the close quarters.
Enjoy the sounds of farm animals as you drift off to sleep on what has got to be the most comfortable AirBnB bed we’ve ever had the pleasure of sleeping on.
Thanks for a magnificent stay, Jennie. We hope to be back!
