Wacky Stays - unique farm-stay glamping rentals, FREE animal feeding tours

Our stay at Wacky Stays exceeded our expectations. The covered wagon is just great. We were totally thrilled. The small kitchen in the covered wagon with kettle, crockery and sink is very well equipped for a small breakfast. The outdoor kitchen leaves nothing to be desired. We had a barbecue on New Year's Eve and cooked roast potatoes the next evening. The shower and toilet in the covered wagon offer a lot of luxury for a covered wagon. Our children slept in the small caravan next to it. That was also an experience for the children. Everything was spotlessly clean and the towels smelled freshly laundered. We received a warm welcome and fresh eggs from their own hens. Feeding the animals was a great experience and the young women (work & travel) showed us around and we were also allowed to feed the animals. If you are looking for an unusual place to stay, Wacky Stays is the right place for you. We would book a stay again at any time if the journey from Germany wasn't so far.

It was unique break away. The farm setting was perfect. The beds were super comfy, plenty of spare blankets if needed… none were, even on one very cold & wet night. The showers were hot with a strong stream of water, that was a pleasant surprise! Everything required for a stay was provided, towels, shampoo, conditioner. Everything required for cooking was provided, barbecue, pizza oven. The toaster & kettle made our stay… old school! Brought back many memories of camping with parents & grandparents! Kevin has done a superb job with his dedication to themed presentation with the bonus enjoyment of farm animals. Both Kevin & staff were helpful when needed also being respectful of our space. We will go back but would look at a different theme for an adventure, it would be hard to choose which one next however!

We LOVED our stay on the train carriage at Wacky Stays, a unique and fun stay that we would thoroughly recommend for young families! We tagged along at the feeding time tour to meet all the animals - this was so great - the llamas and the deer were firm favourites, though the pigs a close second!! On top of this - it was easy to find and we were greeted with a warm welcome by Kevin which included a quick tour/rundown of our accommodation - including a little history about the train itself. Amazing!

The place is 'wacky' as advertised. Unique. A great place to stay for a couple of nights. Not far from Kiakoura but a car is essential. We stayed in the converted train carriage. More expensive than the normal overnight stays but it's worth paying the extra for the wacky nature of the property. Loads to do in the locality.

It was utterly fab. Unique experience of glamping. Beds were comfy. Outside kitchen had so many quirky things and was well stocked with pizza oven, bbq, all kitchen stuff required. Farm animal tour was good fun and can see the animals are well looked after. Would definitely recommend. We stayed in the yurt as a family of 4 but there was other cool accommodation too I would def try if I visited NZ again.
