We enjoyed our stays however was overwhelmed by the rules on staying at the property the book lists was over the top and felt unwelcoming especially if you stay a minute over 10am checkout time they charge $20 per hour, the kitchen was good however not really clean the pots and pans need upgrading the owner was not friendly so made us uncomfortable on arrival. Maybe kids would like it with all the animals around the dogs were the best part so lovely.

It was most unique, a railroading buff would love it. A bit pricey but we didnt have other options. A vintage NZ train car you could sleep, eat and bathe in.

Stayed in the railway carriage. Utterly disappointing. Over-priced by a significant margin. ($120 a night would be more realistic) The one-start reviews are accurate. Avoid it. Spend the money on a decent place in town and do a farm visit elsewhere. There is nothing about the place that even remotely reflects the prise charged.

The place was an amazing experience. There were so many different farms animals and we joined in the feeding of them. Also the accommodations themselves were so unique, from trucks and trains to a yurt . You have to make your own breakfaast so that slows you down a bit but overall a really memorable experience

We stayed in the yurt for one night. The owner was super friendly and considerate. He provided great hospitality to our family with a clean and fun yurt space, private bathroom, breakfast including fresh free range eggs and other breakfast options. My kids and I also enjoyed feeding and encountering the different types of farm animals onsite. Overall, we were very happy to stay in Wacky Stays. Highly recommended!

When youvare tired of boring hotel rooms, come stay here. We stayed in a teepee with our own private bath. There are many animals (llama, pigs, deer, chickens, ducks, sheep) there and you can feed them with the friendly staff if you want. We cooked in our outdoor private kitchen pizza oven and juat really enjoyed ourselves.

Such an amazing experience staying there! An outdoor kitchen was perfectly equipped and the bathroom was huge! We made pizzas for dinner in a pizza oven, stayed in a teepee for one night and had a delicious breakfast with their own free range eggs. Attended animal feeding the next morning and learned a lot! Beautiful real farm experience! Would highly recommend!
