This accommodation was clearly the best we have had. The hosts are extremely nice and helpful. The room and bathroom are gorgeous and the breakfast was probably the biggest surprise. We were really just expecting some toast and would have been fine with that. However, the host prepared a real feast for us for breakfast and I have to say I couldn't have had a better breakfast.

This is absolutely awesome! Sleeping in the dome and getting a panoramic view of the mountains in the morning is out of this world. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and the facilities are amazing. You get your private hot tub, a BBQ area, a wood fired sauna, and more. It's 2 minutes down to Maerewhenua River full of trout, where you can swim in the refreshing water.

Karen was such a sweet heart during our entire stay. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was homemade and we enjoyed it very much. The farm tour was so much fun! Though it was short one night stay, we had a very memorable time on the farm and would love to return again in the future :)

We could not find fault with our one night stay including breakfast. The bed was heated with an electric blanket, an extra heater was immediately provided. Cereal, fresh milk, applles etc. ready in our fridge. Parking right outside the cabin. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. A great stay which we can highly recommend.

It’s a very cool place and I would go back one day. It looks like it’s on a horse farm and has a western feel to it.

We have really enjoyed sitting by the open fire, while the weather outside was getting a bit nasty. Also we have really appreciated the atmosphere of the farm stay, knowing it’s for real with its family history.

Beautiful barn style guest suite! From the bed you have views of the mountains, the sea, the cows and the sunrise 😊 Indigo and Bonnie were both very friendly and showed us around, room was nicely kitted out! Property is very quiet and serene and not too far from city centre.

We wanted a farm stay and we got that and more. The Cottage is really big and the owners live just further along the track. They're so very friendly and our tour of the farm was simply brilliant.

We stayed 2 nights at Silverstream upon arrival at Christchurch. We had fun feeding the Alpacas and the whole place feels quaint and relaxing. Kit who is the owner of this entire property is also very friendly. We were here during the winter season and we’re glad to learn that the beds were equipped with warmers to make our night rest a more comfortable one. A good Farmstay for families with young children.

Dave was very friendly and interesting and passed on his local knowledge about supermarkets and beaches. I liked that it was a farm stay, and very peaceful, so I had the best nights sleep since I arrived in New Zealand.
