The place was great! Maybe not for everyone but perfect for anyone with kids or just looking for something a little different. We are seniors but have done a lot of camping and this was glamping at its best. We picked the yurt which had an outdoor kitchen and an external bathroom. Everything felt really authentic yet still very modern. It all was just there as one would expect from a nice hotel but presented in a different way. Kind of a cowboy camp or depression era type of a kitchen outside but with a gas bbq and cook stove and hot running water. Really enjoyed it. The other sites looked like interesting places to stay too. Our bathroom was as perfect as any and yet different. If coming from the south be careful with Apple app directions as it took us to where the road crosses a river only suitable for a 4x4. But from Kaikōura it was easy to get to just off the highway.

If you have kids who would like to experience something new, loves farm animals and outdoors, this is the place. We stayed on October 24 on our last day in the south island. We were looking for something new and different and Wacky Stays delivered. It is not a brand new dwelling so please manage your expectations. The beds are comfortable and you can see the room was prepared with great care. We stayed at the Yurt/Gert. Our 8yo specially enjoyed the farm animal feedings which are done twice a day. Overall a good experience in our opinion.
