I would go out of my way to stay at Burke’s Pass Farm again. Luckily I wouldn’t have to, because it’s right off the main road between Christchurch and Queenstown, located in an idyllic valley 10 minutes away from Tekapo. Michelle and Steve are warm, hospitable, and really understand what Airbnb is all about — providing travelers with unique and relaxing stays, while giving hosts the opportunity to meet people from around the world. They have done an excellent job with their cottage, and are open to introducing guests to life on a NZ sheep and cattle farm. My stay with them, only one night, still rates as my best experience on Airbnb since I joined several years ago.
