Fantastic Stay

We loved the seclusion of the property and the abundant bird life. The accommodation was a great trip back in time especially the cabinet full of old artifacts. Also loved the view. Highly recommend.

This was one of the best accommodation experiences of my life, and easily the best in New Zealand. Exceptional location - the closest thing I can think of to being in a tramping hut in Fiordland, only without the extra people and with a stove, fridge, and relatively comfortable beds. Just outstanding.

Great stay with heaps of character

The woolshed is in a beautiful quiet location 9.2 km up the Blue Duck Valley Road, surrounded by towering hills and native bush. The furniture is lovely. Plenty to look at, including quirky collections of woolshed memorabilia, bottles and matchboxes. Very helpful host.

Unforgettable experience.

Even the way to the place, the views, remoteness was great. 2 days without technology, we could unwind and rest. There was a lot to see inside the house and outside as well. Thank you, we had everything we needed.

Perfect gateway weekend

We had a wonderful time at the blue duck farm. We enjoyed being away for a relaxing weekend. The fireplace kept us warm and cozy. I really recommend it if you want to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Excellent weekend

We stayed here with friends for my 40th birthday. We had a fantastic time.. The hikes were spectacular as was the birding. We would definitely stay here again! Do note that there is no cell phone reception for several kms.

Weekend getaway

Great location in the hills, surrounded by bush, birds and wild deer. The old woolshed has been converted well for a getaway destination. It's a bit rustic but that adds to the charm.

Good place to spend a few days

A different place to stay, good for getting away from everything, quiet location, 9.5k up a narrow gravel road, no wifi and no phone coverage, noisy water pump
