I chose Sam's place for a night's stayover enroute to Christchurch from Dunedin. Although it was a 30min drive off the route, Im so glad I chose this BnB still, because it was truly unique. Imagine walking freely through the lavender gardens (amazing fragrance), viewing the farm animals upclose (horses, sheep, pigs, chickens) and staying in a clean and recently-renovated 2bedroom unit. Sam also asked if I would like dinner and breakfast - I was so pleasantly surprised when she brought lamb shanks, roasted potatoes and salads - truly a kiwi dinner! The kitchen is fully functional, huge living room. Would strongly recommend this place to families for a night stay - I'm sure the kids would be fascinated by the animals.
