Own bedroom in small sleep out or inside the main building. Full facilities available. Shared dining with hosts, if they are in residence, or cook yourself. Vegetarians can be provided for, but we cannot offer vegan food.
What else ...
The Clutha Gold Cycle Trail runs past the door. It is 60 to 120 minutes away from the eco-wonderland of the Caitlins and Stewart Island. Plus the same distance to Queenstown, Wanaka and Dunedin.
You will need to have your own vehicle to take advantage of most of the activities nearby. The nearest shops are 20km away, however there is a community tavern.
There is lovely, river swimming, nearby and a community tennis court.
