Kia ora and welcome to our lifestyle property and home. We are 16km drive from Te Anau. Our quiet home is off the beaten path. The night sky is amazing. We are surrounded by mature trees attracting bird life. Our hens and ducks are producing eggs, so fresh eggs may be available. We have 60 lambs and ewes (sheep). The lambs were born in August. We have 24 calves (cows), which arrived as week old babies in August from a local dairy farm. We hand fed them to 100kgs, and they are now eating grass. Grass to feed animals doesn't grow year round in Te Anau, and usually slows from late April until October each Autumn/Winter. To feed our animals, we have planted a crop of "Raphno," which is a foliage type of crop. This will also be able to be grazed in summer if things turn dry. We use this as part of a re-grassing cycle to introduce some modern grasses that will be sown next spring. We also have a crop of Sweedes for winter feeding and some young grasses sown in early November, which are showing a good strike. We are happy to arrange tours of our farmlet to talk about our animals and our operations/farming practices and can arrange to show you around our property at a time to suit your plans while exploring Te Anau. Your cottage is a spacious open plan design. We accommodate a maximum of 4 guests.There are three sleeping areas. A queen bedroom and an open plan bunk room (2 single beds, 1 up and 1 down) downstairs. Upstairs is a mezzanine floor with a king-sized bed and a small balcony. Downstairs is a kitchen and lounge space with Freeview TV channels on the TV. Through the glass sliding door to the generous deck outside. The private bathroom includes a walk-in shower, bath, and separate toilet. We do not provide daily room service and provide enough amenities on check-in. If anything further is required, we live nearby. Wifi is not provided, but cell phone providers have a good signal if you bring your phone. We look forward to welcoming you soon,
