    It was very pleasant to be able to have some breakfast before continuing our journey. This is a really conveniently located property. The chickens and Alpacas were comically entertaining.

    I arrived in tears after an emotional day and was greeting with a comforting hug and cup of tea. In the morning I had coffee with the alpacas and stunning view. Perfect stop before a day trip driving out through Arthur’s Pass. Highly recommend...

  • Hello Louise, This is a preliminary inquiry. We are a retired couple and I, Kerry have dreamed of staying on a farm where I can gaze at at snow capped mountains with fields in the forground. Would that be a possibility at your property at the time of the year we are thinking of?

    Good evening, Thank you for your question. The mountains are usually snow capped between mid-June and late September. While we are not strictly a farm, our outlook is very rural and you get a lovely view of the mountains. Kind regards, Louise

  • Hi Louise can you please let me know options for cooking a meal in the room? The photos show a microwave, but is there a hotplate and saucepans? And for eating out it looks like the Springfield hotel for meals, but are any of the cafes open in the evening? Many thanks Mary

    Hi, There is a microwave in the room, and a barbecue on the deck just outside the room. There is also a small camp stove gas ring that you can you a pot or pan on but it needs to be used on the deck or picnic table, not in the room.

  • hi, do you have secure parking for two motorcycles, also I want to book for March next year and booking.com say it’s unavailable is this correct

    Good evening, I could move my car out of our carport so you can park the bikes, but it is an open carport, the bikes would be under cover but not locked up. I have made rooms available for March 2024 so you should be able to book now. Regards Louise

We are a small family run accommodation business on the edge of the Springfield township with arguably the best views in the area. Along with four young children, we have alpacas, a small flock of chickens with a rooster, a cat, and neighbouring horses, sheep, and cattle. Our property is right next to the Midland train line and trains pass regularly. We also have a rooster called "Prince Goose" who crows whenever he feels the need. Please note we are a semi rural property. If you are looking for clean, comfortable and affordable accommodation in Springfield we should be your first stop. I will be here to greet you, and the kids will probably want to say "Hi" when you check in. While you have your own unit the outdoor space will be shared with ourselves and kids. If I'm not going to be here when you arrive we can arrange for the key to be left out for you.
I am currently a stay at home mum, but I have 17 years of experience working in 4 and 5 star hotels. I started my career as a room cleaner and working my way up to Reservations Manager. My aim is for you to have a comfortable, warm and clean place to stay on your journey.
Springfield is a small historic railway village. There are a couple of cafes on the main street along with the local pub. There are not a lot of options for evening dinning in the village, so please ensure you have a meal planned when you arrive.
