Southland Organic Farmstay

Lovely host. Nice to chat with over breakfast while watching the rabbits and birds

I had a lovely stay. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and welcoming, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The hosts were friendly, and the location was great for exploring Gore and the surrounding area. As a mum, having someone else provide breakfast was a real treat! I’d happily stay again and would definitely recommend it to others.

A beautiful place to enjoy a farm stay during the day and the starry sky at night. The room was comfortable and the hosts were really friendly and welcoming.

Alison was welcoming and discreet and breakfast was laid out as expected, comfy clean and spacious room.

Wifi was very patchy. I was aware that teh location was on a windy hill and if I stayd there in very bad weather, teh drive out might have been a problem as I need to be at a location by 8.00 am.

Great place and breakfast

None

Incredibly relaxing comfortable and welcoming stay.

Das gute Frühstück am Morgen Und die Vintage Einrichtung. Und der schöne Garten.

Les propriétaires d’une infinie gentillesse, et de très bons conseils. La chambre et le lit particulièrement confortables. Le petit déjeuner excellent. Le calme de l’endroit. Le jardin et ses deux poules gardiennes des lieux. Merci encore Alison !

花园很大，环境很优美，看的出主人非常热爱生活，我很喜欢她们。 房间干净卫生，温暖，床品很棒。 早餐很棒，用餐环境也非常漂亮。 如果有可能，我会找机会再次去旅居一段时间，真的非常推荐！

一切都很好！

Quietness

Very friendly hosts. Lovely presented breakfast. Would be happy to stay again in the future

Very happy with this place

A beautiful light and airy room. So big with lots of room to move and 2 very comfortable chairs to sit in. Beautiful views out to the garden from really large windows. Very comfortable bed. Big bathroom. Loved my walk through the paddocks to see a stunning but distant views to Bluff and Stewart Island. A great breakfast was also provided. It was a pleasure chatting to the host over a coffee.

Nothing.

Quiet spot with the farmhouse, in a spacious garden setting. A scenic area on the hills. 10 minute drive into town of Mataura for supermarket etc., also main road to Invercargill.. Two good comfortable lounge chairs in room-but needs a small fold up table for meals & preparation, to help with quite limited bench space. Parking was close with smooth surface for wheeled suitcases, note, a step or two into building. Well appointed ensuite, comfortable bed, good heating. No kitchen sink, used dishes could be sent to host. Continental breakfast supplies provided. Friendly, helpful hosts . Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

A bit tricky juggling work space for meal preparation & dining.

We had a wonderful time staying in Alison and Grant's B&B and getting to meet them and their wonderful animals on the farm. The room was very comfortable and set up with kitchenette appliances. Seeing the sheep and cows only a few feet away out the window through our stay was magical. The unit is located just inside the main entrance of their home, but has privacy away from their main living areas. Breakfast was a delight served by Alison and Grant with a range of muesli and fruit toppings to put on yogurt and toast alongside tea.

Nothing! Just keep in mind the local towns don't have all that much. Although there's fast food pretty close by.

גינה מקסימה הנראת מחלון גדול. חדר נעים יפה ונח. מארחים נעימים ומסבירי פנים. ערכנו סיור בחווה רכובים על טרקטורון - היה כיף!

היה מושלם!

Vriendelijke en gastvrije host. Prachtige countryside omgeving.

Accueil exceptionnel, gentillesse de notre hôte qui nous a offert les petits déjeuners, environnement superbe. Un endroit où le calme et la sérénité règnent.

Rien à redire

Alison and Grant excellent hosts. Good breakfast just like home.

Comfortable room, friendly hosts, and a delightful traditional New Zealand breakfast.

The farm offers a variety of activities that enrich the stay and make the experience more diverse and enjoyable.

The stay was amazing. This was my second time with them. Very lovely couple

There will be nothing you will not like

Grant and Alison were wonderful Hosts who made us feel so welcome and right at home and even invited us to watch the shearing of their sheep which happend on our departure day. The room is really cozy with a super comfy bed and the ensuite bathroom is very nice and spacious aswell. Breakfast with views of the garden and homemade muesli was lovely. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful hosts who took me in last minute - I was so grateful and had the best sleep ever in the lovely comfortable room. Beautiful breakfast, great chats and I will definitely be back again! Thanks guys 🥰

Host were very friendly, facilities were great. Venue was very relaxing farm environment.

Possibly a TV in the Room for night time relaxing/

Our hosts, the surroundings, the garden, the room and bed were exceptional. Newly renovated bathroom too.

The owners were very welcoming and the room was exceptionally clean and breakfast was a delight

Absolutely NOTHING

Thoughtful preparations by owners who were unfortunately away, but sent messages making us feel very welcome. The lovely chickens also made us welcome! Breakfast included delicious home preserved apricots. The garden was a delight and the views great. Overall very peaceful.

Very personable and welcoming hosts. Beautiful gardens around the hosts' home. Breakfast was very good and well presented.

Such a pretty garden and spot. Hosts so helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our stay.

We loved the position, but some might find it a little way out of town!

Alison and Grant are very welcoming, down-to-earth hosts. I felt spoilt by the beautiful room and the gorgeous continental breakfast. 5 star!

Alison and Grant were so welcoming, looked after us very well. Advising places to visit and where was good to eat.

It was very comfortabel

We expected to be near Invercargill and that might have been a concern but we were on a loose schedule and we got good advice on what to see from Gore.

I loved this place so much. It's a big en suite room off of a lovely old farmhouse, on a gorgeous property--I spent a long time just wandering around when I got there, admiring the cows, sheep, and chickens, the gardens and pastures....all with the companionship of Bella, the sweet yellow farm dog. And Allison and Grant couldn't have been nicer--it was so great to talk and linger with them both over breakfast! It felt like I was welcomed home as part of the family. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Allison and Grant are wonderful hosts who provided a magnificent expereionce.

All was good

Perfect location on a sheep farm. Alison and Grant were super friendly and we had some great talks. My wife loved feeding the chickens and taking pictures of the amazing gardens/ flowers. I loved their dog!

Nothing

Lovely quiet position surrounded by beautiful garden in the middle of a sheep farm. Walk available down farm track. Very comfortable bed. Good breakfast.

Alison and Grant were very welcoming. It was a home away from home.

The homely feel, loved the farm experience with my little one

Needed a container to put dirty dishes in.

Perfect location in the countryside. Very peaceful and quiet. Not far from the nearest town. The room was very warm and comfortable, Perfect for work travel. Alison was very accommodating and helpful with my booking arrangements. Always checking up every couple of days to make sure I’m happy. I will definitely stay here again in the future.

Friendly host and warm, comfortable room

Warm and comfortable with very friendly helpful hosts. Lovely rural relaxing setting not too far from Gore.

Location, the bedroom, breakfast and the hospitality given were all outstanding

Nothing, wish more places were like here!

Quiet and peaceful. Left to do our own thing

Maybe to have a sign down at gate

I liked that we had the friendly hospitality of being on a farm, coupled with all the mod cons of a separate apartment attached to the farmhouse. Lovely flower filled garden and very spacious, light filled room and ensuite. Close to Mataura for dinner at the pub.

Lovely rural setting. Friendly, helpful hosts.

Grant was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. With his wife away at the time he did a great job of looking after us. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the views of the garden and countryside were beautiful. A very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

Super nice hosts made us feel at home. Comfy bed and everything you needed. We were hoping for some organic eggs or something from the farm for breakfast, but it was more continental. (To be fair, that was not stated in the description, we just assumed that from the name "Organic Farmstay"). But lovely hosts and very nice and we would recommend it to any travelers. The grounds and flowers were lovely!

Wish the Wifi signal was stronger.

Beautiful location with fantastic views covering a huge range of countryside.

Everything

Nothing

The couple who hosted us were friendly and real farmers, clearly devoted to their property. Bedroom was comfy.

At an “organic farm stay,” we were expecting a heartier breakfast, with more choices than Cornflakes and supermarket toast.

Alison and Grant were very gracious and friendly. The breakfast was great, and the room was very comfortable. The farm was very pretty.

Location was a bit off the beaten path, but worth the drive for us. Bathroom window didn’t have a shade or privacy glass (but the sheep in the adjacent field weren’t too nosy.

The best evening and most amazing hosts Such a lovely experience and so welcoming

Nothing as all of our time here was fantastic

Wonderful hosts. Beautiful room. Delicious breakfast. Scenic location.

Great location, lovely room, welcoming hosts, what a treat to get up close to farm stock, thank you

The tranquility of being surrounded by beautiful views and garden on a farm. Meeting the friendly owners and having breakfast before our departure.

Alison and Grant are super-friendly people, very kind and down-to-earth, and made us feel very welcome. The bed was comfortable, the room was lovely and warm, and chatting with them over homemade muesli and coffee in the morning was really homely.

We didn't realise that the room was actually a part of the house - so the noise of folks opening/closing doors, smells from the kitchen, a toddler crying early in the morning, were all part of a mix that you might expect from actually staying in someone's house, but which we weren't expecting.

we loved our short farm stay. would have liked to stay longer. Alison and Grant were great hosts and lovely to chat with.

A lovely stay in a lovingly kept home and farmstay. Lovely truly authentic folk happy to go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Even when the weather wasn't playing ball it was a stand out experience. Awesome hosts showing true "Southland hospitality"

Not a thing

we absolutely enjoyed everything, the comfy room, the farm, the delicious breakfast! Alison and Grant were very kind and great to talk to :)

my love goes to the host, Alison. greatly appreciated for the warmest night we had in Southland. a long chat into late evening. would love to stay a little while longer if we were not rushing to next itinerary. definitely will come back again anytime soon

nil.. everything just perfect

Everything. Lots of thought has gone into making this an enjoyable stay. It's great to have a real blanket and not just a douna; breakfast food provided in advance is great and it's wonderfully quiet. Go prepared with the food and drink you want. Lovely hosts.
