Oamaru

The farm stay is fitted with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, bed linen, towels, a flat-screen TV, a dining area, a fully equipped kitchenette, and a terrace with garden views. This farm stay also has a patio that doubles up as an outdoor dining area. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. I loved the rural location, the peace & quiet of the beautiful countryside; the farm animals & Jenny was very friendly & helpful. I'd love to return for a longer stay to explore Oamaru further.
