Barn Bed and Breakfast

Alan was a very welcoming host. The unit was unique, and had been well thought out. It was very private, and the breakfast was lovely.

The bed was extremely comfortable, but could have done with slightly better pillows ( they were a bit lumpy) Also, a shame the bed hasn't been positioned better in the bedroom to enjoy the fantastic view.

Dopo Aver ricevuto conferma della prenotazione, host mi ha scritto un messaggio per informami che la stanza non era più disponibile!

Great stay when you’re looking for a little relaxing getaway! The host, Alan (& his dogs), is one of the friendliest people I met in New Zealand. Highly recommend!!

Great views, nice dogs, superbly helpful owner!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The barn is a lovely creative and unique space. Also enjoyed the company of the host and his friendly dogs. Would definitely stay again.

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

Beautiful space, very comfortable, friendly dogs and lovely accommodating host who even put the fire on for us while we were out for dinner!

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.

Lovely owner Alan was very accomodating and warm. The barn was a rustic charm with beautiful lush bush surroundings. I took my dog who loved the stay just as much as we did! Thank you Alan!

Every thing animals allowed And Alan was genuine Good bloke Very welcoming and relaxed

Nothing

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.

A great location in a rural setting. Wonderful kind and generous host.

Nothing to not like.

What a find! If you like a remote, quirky property The Barn is perfect. A complete opposite to the bland hotels/motels you normally find. Set in a tranquil location well away from the main road the barn is exactly that, a converted barn. The bedroom overlooks the fantastic countryside and Alan is a wonderful host - very kind and understanding. If you like something different, go for it!

Alan, the host was exceptional, the most kind hearted and generous person we’ve come across in our travels, he went above and beyond. We were free to roam around the property as if it were our own, the dogs were a joy as well. Highly recommend staying there, it’s far enough to be secluded but at the same time you’re just 15 minutes from the city.

Everything was perfect.

Location! In a virtual garden paradise!

Nothing!

The entire atmosphere was perfect. Very welcoming and everything was just perfect.

There was nothing we didn't like.

Log fire, kitchen table to work on, really comfy bed and a wonderful host. Thoroughly recommend and can't wait to travel that way so I can stay again!

Alan is a super host. He had the fire on, and he made very welcome from the first moment. Breakfast was lovely, The area is so beautiful.

Everything was perfect!

Exceptional property. The Host Alan was so very welcoming and the dogs wonderful. Very relaxing stay. Will be sure to return. Ian and Jill Timaru

Amazing tucked away location. A hidden gem that we would definitely go back to relax in and spend more than one night next time! Excellent facilities and host.

Great B&B, excellent views, friendly owner, fire was roaring hot on arrival which was most appreciated. Will definitely return.

Blackout blinds in the master bedroom would be really appreciated before my next visit - for those of us who like to sleep in at the weekends !!

We like everything about the property! The place is very spacious, bed is super comfortable, million dollar views both day and night! The sounds of Tui and Morepork leveled up our experience. The host is outstanding! Alan is the greatest host we have ever met. Our short getaway made more memorable because of the place, the host and their pets! Thank you so much!

We didn’t like to leave.

Beautiful Accomodation, set in absolutely unique and breathtaking scenery

The hospitality was second to none. Very cosy comfortable apartment. Much appreciate the little extras.

Maybe, the gravel road for some people might be off putting.

Really nice atmosphere and comfortable. Lovely dogs and staff.

Remote and full of bird song, the bed is made of magic. Heaving blankets and the warmth from the fire. The breakfast was huge! If you love the bucolic life this is the place for you. Wish we had more time to stay and play with dogs some more. Also our own pooch loved it just as much as we did thank you xoxoxoox

Nothing, everything was spot on

Warm fire going before I arrived, plenty of wood all ready for the night ahead.

No wifi.

A very nice and enjoyable stay. The hospitality was A +. Will be going back for shore.

Nothing to fault

Tasty, generous breakfast! Spacious self contained apartment with a fire which is really cozy. Beautiful views. Robert and Alan are friendly, welcoming hosts who make you feel right at home. Pet friendly is such an appreciated bonus - our dog loved the bush garden, playing with George and Bella (dogs) and meeting the pig! Easy drive into Dunedin CBD but there's great beaches and good cafe just down the road too!

Amazing decor and amenities, friendly hosts and dogs!

The best nights sleep I had in NZ for two weeks. The Barn is situated up on the hill giving the best views out over the Dunedin countryside. We were immediately welcomed by Alan and Robert who make you feel at home right away. And the animals! I loved them all, especially Arnold the Pig and the stories about when he joined the family. I felt like a big kid again at a petting zoo.

Personable hosts Beautiful location (elevated, rural, bush, sea views) Spacious, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, everything necessary available. Excellent breakfast. Easy proximity (by car) to exceptional beaches.

Bed a little lumpy

loved everything!
