This is a fabulous place, we stayed as a family of four (Mum, Dad, a 4 year old and a 4 month old) for three nights and loved it, despite rainy days. We had a BBQ on the first (dry) night, and had wood waiting for us in a wheelbarrow and everything to make it easy to light. We slept so well as the barrel was so comfortable and warm, with a nice thick and firm mattress, with well thought design, double glazing, little windows to let air in, and birds singing in the morning! The area is so green and lush, with nearby alpacas, chickens, ducks, and really fantastic for our young children. We cooked every day, the kitchen and bathroom facilities were pleasant and with lots of eco-friendly touches, good products and fresh eggs. Would highly recommend for families who love nature and want peace and quiet, but still be 20mins away from Nelson City.
