We stayed at the school house for four nights and loved every minute of our time in the area. The spacious accomodation is beautifully set out, the attention to detail is outstanding. The property has wonderful big windows, with the sun pouring in throughout the day. With calming views of the fields and trees and the lovely orchard to roam this is a very special place to stay. The pot belly fire warms the whole area, the furnishing and lighting provide a cosy night time feeling . The kitchen is superbly equiped, with delicious home made breakfast treats adding to this special experience . If you want to truly experience the beauty and calm of the Waitaki valley there could be no better choice. An easy drive to Oamaru via the back country roads, access to a couple of nice vineyards and a wonderful cafe in Kurow all add to the experience.
