    Loved staying in the unique and peaceful ger. Well-equipped and comfortable. Outdoor kitchen and other accommodations looked amazing. Great host and array of animals on the property. Perfect for glamping fans.

    Felt like in a fairy, no reason to complain.

    Loved staying in the train carriage, it was a unique experience. The beds were comfy and the train-themed bedding was a hit with the kids. The shower was great and having the bathroom inside was convenient. The location in the countryside offered beautiful starry skies at night. a memorable stay. Despite a few minor drawbacks, I would recommend this hotel.

    We had a unique and delightful stay in the house truck at Wacky Stays. It had everything we needed and the outdoor cooking area was a great place to relax. The mountain views were lovely and it was a short drive to the river for fishing. The farm park animals were cute and the staff was friendly and pleasant.

    Breakfast items could have been improved with a larger variety of options.

    Had an amazing time on the farm with my girlfriends! The accommodations were perfect, and the staff was outstanding. We felt right at home! The animals were well taken care of, and we enjoyed feeding them. The location was great, just a short drive from town and close to good walks. The level of service was impressive, with all of our requests immediately taken care of. The cozy fireplace and effective heat pump kept us warm. a fun and unique adventure!

    Can't think of any negative aspects!

    It was a unique and memorable experience staying in the tipi. The spaciousness of the accommodation allowed us to relax comfortably. Additionally, the outdoor kitchen was a great feature that provided us with ample space for cooking and preparing meals. We also loved the tranquility of the surroundings and the absence of any immediate neighbors.

    It's important to note that if you're not a fan of being woken up by farm animals, this place might not be suitable for you. The rooster and other animals on the farm can be quite noisy in the early hours of the morning.

    We had a fantastic Christmas Day at Wacky Stays! The staff were enjoying their own Xmas celebration, which made us feel at home. The Yurt was fabulous with a unique open roof option for cooling down. The outside kitchen was perfect for cooking a full Christmas dinner. The location offered great privacy, and the llamas were a beautiful and friendly sight. The wagon accommodation was cozy with underfloor heating and a hot bath. The outdoor dining area was a lovely touch. a unique and enjoyable experience. We would definitely return!

    Recommend this hotel.

    I had the opportunity to stay in a yurt, which was warm, comfortable, and well, furnished. the beds were cozy, and the continental breakfast provided by Kevin included delicious farm, fresh eggs and plunger coffee. the highlight of the stay was definitely the chance to feed the animals in the morning, especially the llamas! It was a fun experience for both adults and kids, and staying in a yurt added a special touch to our getaway. Cons: Nothing that I didn't like. 😊.

    We stayed in the colonial wagon and were blown away by the luxury and attention to detail. the outside dining area was a delightful surprise, and every last detail had been thought of. the view was absolutely incredible. the comfortable stay included robes, slippers, fresh eggs for breakfast, and a warm welcome from the owner. We will definitely be back in the future!

    Felt at home instantly, no complaints at all.

    We had a wonderfully unique stay at Wacky Stays in Kaikoura. The yurt was gorgeous, and the separate bathroom was clean and spacious. The llamas added a fun touch, and the clear night sky was perfect for stargazing. The glamping-style accommodations were comfortable and well-insulated. It felt like a peaceful escape from the world. Kevin was friendly, giving us a tour and allowing us to meet the animals. We loved our time here and would definitely return for another enjoyable experience.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The Colonial Wagon at Wacky Stays was an absolute delight. The B & B farm-stay accommodation with stained wood walls and a canvas roof insulated with sheep's wool made me feel like I was in a cozy cabin in the wilderness. It was a unique experience that I'll always remember.

    Needs more shade.

    The farm atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing, with great views of the surrounding countryside. The unique concept of staying in a converted carriage was definitely a fun and interesting experience. The bed in the carriage was comfortable and cozy, and I couldn't hear the rain at all, which made for a great night's sleep.

    While the overall experience was enjoyable, there were a few aspects that could have been improved. The interaction with the staff felt a bit distant, and it would have been nice to have more opportunities to participate in feeding the animals and farm activities.

    We were blown away by Wacky Stays! the farm atmosphere was perfect for families with children. Feeding the animals was a highlight, and the Navajo-style tepe added a unique touch. the clean bathrooms were a bonus.
