Fabulous 2 Night Stay

A great short 2 night stay with our two little dogs. It was easy to find and not far out of Dunedin, with great views. We received a warm welcome from the hosts (and enjoyed seeing the chickens, pig and sheep close by). We loved the fire too! Thanks.

Great Getaway

We had such a wonderful stay at The Barn. Don’t let the name fool you as this is a lovely, modern, well-appointed space. The hosts were terrific and we enjoyed meeting all their animals, including Arnold the pig! The place is secluded, 2 miles up a dirt road, but only a 20 minute drive into Dunedin. Nice local restaurant also just a few minute drive away.

Comfortable Cosy and Warm

We arrived in heavy fog in the evening, we were met by the hosts and shown around, the fire was going and the whole place was toasty. After a comfortable night, we were able to appreciate the sun rising over the sea in the morning and the beautiful surroundings What a great wee spot to stay, away from the hustle and bustle

Worth the distance from town

Taking a teen to university is a busy time, and booking late didn't help, but Alan's greeting, to confirm that we were at the right place, was wonderful. His handy hints, like keeping the upstairs bedroom door closed from the fire downstairs, was invaluable. Spacious, luxurious, stunning views. A great place to stay,.

The Barn is a lovely, secluded bach. Great for a relaxing time away, everything we needed was there and the hosts were kind, friendly and welcoming. The barn is filled with lovely art and pottery. Our dog roamed free and enjoyed meeting lots of animals and the family dogs. Would highly recommend.

Waitati barn accommodation

Thank you for having us, the accommodation and location was amazing, and such a unique place. We loved the peace and quiet. The barn was very clean, with everything that you would need supplied. Alan was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we were looked after. We would definitely love to come back if wasn't so far from home.
