    A great experience staying at Wacky Stays. The accommodation was unique and the animals were a real treat. If you are into trying something a bit out of the usual, then this is the place to stay. We loved the rustic atmosphere.

    Pete was a very friendly and welcoming host. Very quiet and scenic spot at the end of the Kaikoura penisula. Close to walkways and Seal colony. I didn't vist these on this occasion as I was tired and weather was cold and wet. But great location on a good day. Itr's an old homestead on a farm with a campsite as well.

    It was spotless with fantastic facilities. Great shower pressure and an amazing kitchen. The ideal place to stay for a few day. The decor was modern farmhouse eclectic. Very Instagram worthy.

    The colonial wagon was quite luxurious for a farmstay expectation. The animals and the facilities to use.

    Loved the farmhouse, location, room, gardens and the view. The room was comfortable and adequate for our one night stay. The location was very peaceful away from the town and close to the seal colony. The host, Peter, had excellent communication at the time of booking and before our stay. He was friendly, gave us a very warm welcome to his home and excellent directions for a local walk.

    This is an amazing place loved every bit of it but unfortunately we didn't sleep a wink. I fully understand that noise is part of a farm stay but we had a roaster outside out accommodation door shouting every 20 mins from 1am. We also had a group of people walk past our door at 8:30am just as I was going for a shower. If it wasn't for these two very important issues I would 100% give this place top marks, it was clean welcoming and fantasticly wacky.
