Beautiful decor too ##### Kirstin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 18, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb My friend and I stayed at the Factory for one night on our travels around New Zealand. All I can say is I wish we had been staying for longer! The elegance and quality of this old Dairy farm are beyond compare. We had the whole wing of three bedrooms to ourselves. Each of the three rooms is decorated beautifully and the beds were so comfortable that it was the best night's sleep that either of us had in our two week stay in NZ. Janet and Paul were so helpful and such lovely warm people. Not to mention the best breakfast I had in NZ when Janet cooked up a three course breakfast of museli, fresh stewed rubarb and berries from the garden, followed by crayfish caught by Paul the previous day. Thank you so much to them both. What can I say other than this is one of the best places I have ever been lucky enough to stay at and there is nothing at all to fault. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178314-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Mississauga](https://www.expedia.ca/Mississauga-Hotels.d7954.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Portland](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland-Hotels.d178299.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Inn on Prince Hotel & Conference Centre Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Inn-On-Prince-Hotel-Conference-Centre-Truro.h428538.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Halifax-Halifax-Hotels.0-n6217399-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Greek Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/Greek-Islands-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d6271742-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Cook-Hotels-The-Hermitage-Hotel-Mount-Cook.h179149.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bermuda](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bermuda-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d20-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Manitou Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Watrous-Hotels-Manitou-Springs-Resort.h67550606.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Sydney (SYD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/syd/halifax-to-sydney) > > [Flights from Comox (YQQ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqq/yhz/comox-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cun/calgary-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/dps/regina-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Honolulu (HNL) to Kailua-Kona (KOA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hnl/koa/honolulu-to-kailua-kona) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yyz/delhi-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Sherwood Park](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/180151/flights-from-sherwood-park) > > [Flights from San Salvador (SAL) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sal/yvr/san-salvador-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Accra (ACC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/acc/calgary-to-accra) ### Cars > [Car rentals in St. Petersburg](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Intl.d4540752.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Potrero](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Potrero.d6035420.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Edmonton Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton.d180002.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Greece Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Greece.d67.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Sabrosa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sabrosa.dx180539) > > [Visit Sainte-Adele](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Adele.dx181989)
