We had a wonderful farmstay with Jennie and her lovely family in Oamaru. The farm was gorgeous with green rolling hills. We got to feed sheep and cows and Jennie taught us city folks a ton of things about animals and living on a farm. The room and bathroom (massive!) was very clean and well kept. The house is big so there is plenty of space to hang around. It's also a very short drive down the hill to town. Jennie was good company and fun to chat with, but she was also considerate with giving us privacy. We definitely recommend a farmstay with Jennie while in the south island!
