Such a beautiful place to stay with everything you’d need but the highlight is the wonderful hospitality of Alan. So warm and welcoming. Thank you!

Our host was so welcoming and made it so welcoming for us and even put the fire on for us when we were coming back late from an event

I had my daughter with me for otago open day. we booked anopther accomodation but when we arrived after a 11 hour drive the accomodation was rebooked and cancelled on us. It was 9pm, and the host replied to a voice message plea for somewhere to stay. he calmed us, and accepted us late night, and put the fire on to warm the accomodation. he was so kind, and made a bad experience into a wonderful warm welcoming stay. he provided fruit,ceral, and fresh eggs for breakfast. support this man and his place, it is a great place to stay.

there was nothing to dislike, and he was so kind.

Was a magical experience, on our return to Dunedin will never look for any other accommodation, we found the ultimate. Alan is the perfect host, and we can never thank him enough for allowing us to share his vision of utopia, with his trusted companions Bella and George. We miss The Barn already, and can't wait for a return visit.

There was nothing to dislike, The Barn is paradise personified.

Rural location, peaceful and the host was a really nice guy.

Cozy fireplace and very nice host !!

Private and spacious. Relaxing and peaceful vibe.

We loved everything about the Barn. Alan was a fantastic host. The location was amazing. The Barn was comfortable, warm and very well equipped. We would have loved to have stayed longer.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The Barn was the perfect spot to stay for our last night in Te Wai Pounamu/ South Island. It was in the cool, lush bush, the sound of birds and chooks the only disturbance; no traffic to contend with, no noisy neighbours. The bed was very comfortable, the water hot, the barn warm, with its wood fire, and the two dogs very friendly. Alan, the host made us welcome from the moment we arrived - and he even found a bottle of very tasty wine for us to have with our evening meal - which he also provided. We were very grateful that we didn't need to leave the serenity.

If only we had known how peaceful it was, we may have booked two nights!

Lovely place to stay. So quiet and tranquil. Very relaxing and comfortable. Loads of space. Great facilities. Everything you need. Breakfast provided (muesli, yoghurt, bread to toast, fruit etc with eggs to cook yourself). Lovely log burner. Easy access to Silver Peaks trails and Orokonui ecosanctuary. Alan is an excellent host.

No biggie, but would prefer not to pay in cash. Watch the fridge. It was set too high and froze our veg. Easily sorted once we knew.

Alan is such a kind and wonderful host. We loved the fresh eggs and fruit at breakfast, the fire made by Alan when we came home, the isolation and peacefulness although in 5 minutes you’re in Waitati town. The Barn is a home away from home.

A great stay in a lovely rural property. The cosy fire was lit for us by our host. Alan is a fantastic host, welcoming and informative. We are so glad we found this place to stay. The surrounding rural views are beautiful. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. We hope to stay again when we are visiting the South Island.

Exceptional for everything

Cozy and comfortable barn. The host was very friendly and had the fire lit for us on arrival. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Spacious layout, roaring fire, plenty of supplied breakfast and dog friendly.
