Cottage in Oamaru, South Island

4 guests • 1 bedroom • 3 beds • 1 bathroom

This relaxing bed and breakfast getaway is located in a rural setting with gorgeous mountain and countryside views. Just a short 30-minute drive inland from the seaside township of Oamaru in New Zealand's South Island, it is the perfect place for couples looking for a romantic break, or for those seeking a true kiwi farm experience with the property being located on a 1150-hectare working sheep and beef farm.

There is a comfortable queen-size bed, a modern bathroom, and two relaxing outdoor baths. Sun streams through the windows in the afternoons and into the warm and inviting living and bedroom areas. The property comes complete with inviting furniture, full kitchen facilities, a coffee machine, a smart TV, a washing machine, and an outdoor deck area with a large garden section.

The breathtaking surrounding landscape is authentic and picturesque, as this bed and breakfast accommodation is located on a sheep and beef farm encompassing a total of 1150 hectares of country land. In the early 20th century, it operated as a rural school.

Guests can enjoy the delicious continental farmhouse breakfast, which is provided, and help themselves to fresh free-range eggs from the hen house. Linens, fresh towels, heating, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and parking are also provided for a convenient and comfortable stay.

Guests can enjoy using the outdoor grill for barbecues at this accommodation or indulge in one of the two meal packages on offer, which include a grazing platter or a two-course dinner. A minibar and frozen meal options are also available.

Farm tours are available at an additional cost where you can watch a working dog demonstration, sheep shearing, a narrated drive over the farm, and finish with visiting and feeding the friendly farm pets. This is a great way to feel the true country way of life on a sheep and beef farm. A Sky-Watcher Telescope is also available to hire for $25 for the duration of your stay.

Oamaru, South Island

Detailed location provided after booking

Scenic views
  • Mountain

This property is located in the countryside of Five Fork near Oamaru, South Island, New Zealand. With views of the mountains, this pastoral location is ideal for a remote getaway that offers the option of coastal outings by car. One detail that makes this location special is not only that it is a remote farm but that it is also not far at all from landscapes that stand in complete contrast to it. The area is a convenient 30-minute drive from the Otago coast and the town of Oamaru, where countless unique attractions await visitors. Among these, the Oamaru Penguin Colony, the Oamaru Public Gardens, the Steampunk Headquarters and the Victorian precinct all stand out. Just near here, glampers can reach numerous rugged beaches, enchanting coves, and cliff-side shores where the easily-identifiable yellow-eyed penguin may be spotted. Moeraki Boulders are just 45 minutes away by car and are an almost extraterrestrial picture of perfect rock spheres strewn along the beach. There is no doubt as to why this strange landscape will have inspired Maori legends. The closest international airport, Dunedin International Airport, is 140 kilometers away.

Guests will have plenty of chances to go on outdoor adventures near this rural property in the mountains. Guests can explore the area on foot on two of the walks over farmland (Valley Views Walk - 3.5km or Pihiohio Ridge Walk - 8km), get an understanding of what life on a sheep and beef farm is all about, watch sheep being sheared or try a four-wheel-drive adventure (if arranged prior) or feed the pet animals. A trip to the coast can offer seaside trails that lead to penguin viewpoints, well worthwhile for animal lovers. Glampers can also visit a number of attractions in Oamaru. The Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony is a great starting point for that visit. It offers visitors the opportunity to view blue penguins, the smallest penguin species in the world, climbing awkwardly up the rocks and slipping gracefully into the water in their wild habitat. The surreal engineering and artwork of the Steampunk Headquarters are a unique addition to the Oamaru visit, no matter what the age. The Moeraki Boulders are also an unusual geological feature to check out on the nearby Otago coast.
