It was cute and quirky. The host was super helpful, and talked us through the features on arrival. Surprisingly, the shower was excellent. Doesn't appear that way on first impression, however perfect temperature, and lots of pressure. One suggestion would be a step or the like, if you are short, to get up into the loft bed. We even saw baby ducks that were extremely friendly and came right up to us ##### Jade Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Feb 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very magical place, awesomely different. ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharyn Jan 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome place to stay for a night “glamping” in Kaikoura. Family friendly. Loved the Llama trekking taster walk & feeding the farm animals. Very memorable and would recommend. ##### Sharyn Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Dec 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great location a few KMs from Kaikoura. We wanted quiet and we got it. Set in lovely ground kept by the family it was simply lovely. The farm cottage is old but that is part of the experience the floors are uneven some doors you have bend a little to get in. This simply reflects the different eras in which additions or repairs where done. this cottage can sleep around 8 people comfortably (I am allowing for the couch as well). Great water pressure, big lawn for the kids or maybe you could bring the caravan for a fee and park up with the rest of the family the outdoor space is wonderful. The stove worked perfectly, outdoor BBQ and Pizza oven, things for the kids to do including long necked sheep sorry Llama's or similar. The person welcoming us was excellent Kevin (owner) gave us a good rundown. I really enjoyed this site while it is not new it is definitely comfortable and great for a family or group of friends ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi Jan 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very quirky which is what you expect when booking at a place called Waky Stays. Accommodation was clean and neat, but do be prepared to live among the animals. We stayed in the Tipi and it was raining but everything stayed dry and warm. ##### Heidi Stayed 1 night in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautifully constructed wagon with old-fashioned features and modern amenities. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda, Christchurch Oct 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay in the tepee - lots of thoughtful touches including fresh eggs for breakfast. ##### Lynda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Keith Sep 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### fun family stay in Kaikoura. Three adults and two boy's (11 and 6) spent two nights in the farm cottage at Wacky Stays. Really enjoyed our stay, the boy's especially the youngest couldn't get enough of feeding and seeing the animals, and both of them made full use of the ride on pedal tractor, heaps of room for them to run around too. Wacky Stays very obliging and friendly, look forward to staying again. ##### Keith Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Gabrielle, Christchurch Aug 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the farm cottage which was very clean and tidy. The heat pump warmed up the house very well and all the rooms were presented nicely. The kids loved feeding the animals in the morning and the staff were very friendly. We had all the privacy we wanted and the owner was very helpful. ##### Gabrielle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen, Christchurch, NZ Jun 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely charming Kiwi experience.

The attention to detail of the property was outstanding - the lights, the cool qwerks, everything was superb. The view was great and the lamas just over the fence were no problem at all. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### YEN-CHING Jan 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great experience We stayed at the farmers cottage for one night. The house was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We had a fully contained kitchen, cosy living area and spacious garden. The animal feeding tour was also amazing. Overall, it was a nice stay. ##### YEN-CHING Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Seville](https://www.expedia.ca/Seville-Hotels.d3312.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Le Montreux Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreux-Hotels-Fairmont-Le-Montreux-Palace.h12601.Hotel-Information) > > [Park MGM Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Park-MGM-Las-Vegas.h58201.Hotel-Information) > > [Altis Belem Hotel & Spa, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Altis-Belem-Hotel-Spa.h2784325.Hotel-Information) > > [California Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-California-Hotel-And-Casino.h661793.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Bambou & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Trois-Ilets-Hotels-Hotel-Bambou.h16647664.Hotel-Information) > > [Mizunoto](https://www.expedia.ca/Hakone-Hotels-Mizunoto.h13231124.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Fairmont-Waterfront.h15293.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Iberostar-Rose-Hall-Beach-All-Inclusive.h2127239.Hotel-Information) > > [Viaggio Resort Mazatlán](https://www.expedia.ca/Mazatlan-Hotels-Viaggio-Resort-Mazatlan.h82683231.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dartmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Dartmouth-Hotels.d7560.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Catalonia Yucatan Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Aventuras-Hotels-Catalonia-Yucatan-Beach-All-Inclusive.h9627292.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Charleston (CRW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/crw/edmonton-to-charleston) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Florence (FLR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/flr/toronto-to-florence) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ams/vancouver-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from British Columbia (YPR) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ypr/yvr/prince-rupert-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Sacramento (SMF) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/smf/sea/sacramento-to-seattle) > > [Flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to Marsh Harbour (MHH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fll/mhh/fort-lauderdale-to-marsh-harbour) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Timmins](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Timmins.d6033788.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Sweden Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Sweden.d173.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Genesee River's High Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Genesee-Rivers-High-Falls-Downtown-Rochester.d6066101.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [The Oval](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Oval-London-City-Centre.d6079009.Vacation-Attraction)
