Quail Rest is an amazing place. There are stunning views all around and sheep grazing on the station just outside the door. This is a real treat for people from Texas where we have no sheep. The cabin is large, well equipped and had everything we could possibly need including a fabulous kitchen and grill on the deck. The wood stove made for a cozy night and along with the quietness and seclusion creates a comfortable, serene and romantic getaway. Fishing is good nearby in the lake and the canals.
Sonja when out of her way to greet us and we had the most wonderful conversation about the sheep station. We learned more in 5 minutes than we had in the previous 6 weeks we have spent traveling around the South Island. The internet works well as does cell service which is amazing given the remote and beautiful location that it is.
