Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific farm rentals

We had a wonderful stay at the Bowerbird! The studio was really cozy and well quipped with everything you need for a couple of nights. The property is amazing with a huge backyard and beautiful sitting spaces outside. Its perfect if you’re looking for a secluded staycation!

Our stay felt very homely. Angela was very welcoming and polite.

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights and overall it was a great experience. Both Mandy and Jacob are great hosts and we will definitely be back.

Have stayed before while with previous owner. We weren’t dissapointed as it was still a wonderful home.

Stayed in this cottage and it did not disappoint! The scenic drive to the cottage was wonderful, rolling hills and very peaceful. Sarah, the owner was in contact and made getting there and into the property super easy. The The drive into the gated property with its tree canopy was beautiful. The cottage was gorgeous, with little momentos of Hobbiton which is the reason we stayed in Matamata, for the Hobbiton Tour and Beer Fest. The breakfast supplied was fantastic, we picked up some smoky bacon to enjoy with fresh eggs and toast. The bed was sublimely comfortable and the backyard was bathed in sun in the Morning. Would absolutely stay here again but this time for a few days longer to really enjoy the cottage and its facilities, and the peacefulness of its location.

Amazing place directly behind the beach. So much to explore, both in- and outside. Had everything we needed and an awesome time!

Great house and location, packed with amenities and Michelle was lovely to deal with. I would recommend anyone that comes to callala beach to stay here. Thanks again for a great stay.

What a delightful property the Red House is! 15 mins from Kaikoura and just a few steps from a wild, and pretty much deserted beach. The property was the perfect blend of comfort and convenience with thoughtful and imaginative styling. It felt cosy and traditional while having modern facilities to make your stay as stress-free as possible. A real gem that we will definitely be coming back to!
