Cozy, clean and comfortable farm stay

Country farm cottage house at the back of the property grounds, about 10 min drive to the town. All simple, but very nicely decorated, with wooden floorboards, a fire place, rustic timber furniture, good quality bedding, undercover car park, a porch and 3 bedrooms. Nothing was runned down and the whole house seemed to have been painted recently. We could see the mountain range to the back of the house as well as some live stock roaming around. All very nice. There no TV or Wifi, which we found kind of great. They do provide some board games for entertainment. We arrived late and Mandy, the owner, welcomed us by the property and got us settled no dramas. They offer a tour to the farm (deer, cattle, sheep and some alpacas), which was informative and interesting, but quite expensive, we found. About NZD80 per adult. All in all, a very nice stay.

Wanaka Glamping

We had a great experience at Criffel. This is glamping -- not a hotel but a very nice luxury tent with a comfortable queen size bed and nearby outdoor shower (hot water available) plus a bathroom (flushing toilets). There's also a partially covered outdoor kitchen area. The views are fantastic and it's a 5-10 minute drive to town so the location is also very convenient. The host Lori was extremely helpful and went out of her way to help us. It was a great overall experience

Awesome area with amazing views when you wake up. My only complaint would be the bed, it was so uncomfortable with the springs poking you all night long, but I suppose it is glamping.

Second home in Wanaka

The entire cabin felt so homey with everything so well equipped. Host was friendly too. Felt like a second home, didn't wanna leave the place after we had settled right in. Cooked a meal for ourselves and warm the place up near the fireplace. Things will be better if all the furniture that look like it is for display is properly cleaned. We found dust everywhere in the cupboard or the other furniture and decided that it is better to leave it alone.

Charming home away from home

Lovely private cottage. Has just about everything you need, and it comes with a full kitchen, cereal, fresh bread and milk. Check in is only 2 hrs a day from 3-5 which is kinda weird. I also called to say I was going to be running 5 mins late but no one stuck around to say hello but left the instructions in the mailbox. A bit strange. We stayed during a very hot period, and the cottage does not have any fans or ac. Finally, despite the fact that the check in wasn’t as smooth as we’d hope it’d be or that it was hot and didn’t have a fan of that the bed was very soft (bad for people with bad backs) we still have a great stay. It is a very lovely cottage. Extremely charming.

Great location

A very unique location. 10km from township and wonderfully peaceful. Great place for quiet time or to have friends join you . Weather was fantastic which meant sleeping with the door open and the stars were just wonderful to see. Breakfast food provided was fantastic and to enjoy this in the morning looking out at the mountains. Great way to start the day

町から離れて、リラックスには絶好

宿は四方牧草地が果てしなく広がる素敵なロケーションです。 建物はリビング（暖炉月）、ダイニング（電気コンロ、冷蔵庫、お茶道具あり）、バスルーム（シャワー、洗濯機有り）、寝室（2部屋→今回はそのうち1部屋を利用）といった形です。 ※今回は冬でしたが、宿の裏にバスタブが有ったので夏は利用可能かもしれません。 夜は外の光が一切ないので、星空が壮大でした。 ニュージーランドで一番大きなシカ牧場で有名な場所ですが、羊、アルパカもいますし、宿の回りは野生のウサギがたくさんいます（地面はウサギの穴がたくさん）。 普段と違う一日を過ごしたい、町から少し離れたい人には絶好の場所です。 4.5km x 4.5kmほどの高大な牧場なので、買い物はQueenstownで行って持ち込んでゆっくりするのがいいと思います。

Bed configuration was not adequately advertised (cottage main part rented with each additional bedroom opened additional) was resolved with the helpful onsite staff. Bedrooms access is outside of the main kitchen & living, which maybe something to consider for those visiting in the winter. Fire place was available for use but not set up & no kindling was provided to start the fire. Still a pleasant autumnal experience.

Lovely surroundings, with a superb view.

We stayed at the Gardeners Cottage, in the middle of a working farm that specialises in deer and alpaca. It is a wonderful homely place, with quirky additions that add to the experience. The cottage is comfortable with all amenities on hand. The wonderful view can be appreciated from the kitchen sink, and the patio. Sit back and watch the parachutists. We were shocked at how cold it can get overnight, then really hot during the day. But rest assured, the bedding is more than adequate to cope. It was a great time and I would recommend a stay here to everyone. Note - NO WiFi in the cottage.
