About this property

The Shepherd's Rest with alpaca, sheep & outdoor bath.<br>Close to Oamaru.


The Shepherd's Rest is located on a 300 acre working bull beef farm but only a 5 minute drive to central Oamaru. Our location is perfect for those who want to explore Oamaru and the Waitaki area but also want to escape to the country.

It is ideal for 2 adults.

The Shepherds Rest is a cosy shepherds hut, a tiny house experience with a bit of glamping thrown in!

Unwind in the outdoor gas heated bathtub.

Enjoy the view and say hi to our alpacas and pet sheep. Be entertained by their antics. We provide food so you can feed them.

Sleep well in the queen size bed with fairy lights above for a bit of magical effect.

It has a kitchenette with a mini fridge, rice cooker, 2 ring cook top, electric jug and toaster as well as crockery and cutlery.

It has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, vanity and Bambooloo composting toilet.

Linen and towels provided.

Cape Cod chairs outside so sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the views. Great for stargazing at night and outlook is towards the Kakanui Ranges.

There is NO WIFI - the idea is to unwind and escape technology for a bit. There is a selection of games and books to keep you amused.

Maximum of 2 adults and no children.

Our overnight stay.
What an amazing wee place to stay. Really clean and tidy. Welcoming, warm (heater was on for us) and inviting. Bed was so comfortable! We didnt get to use the outside bath, due to weather, but on clear night it would have been amazing.

A Perfect Hideaway Place to Stay!
This was just the most awesome place to stay in! The quietness and solitude is so good for the soul! But the town is 10 minutes away if you prefer the delights of sightseeing, eating out, and soaking in the historical atmosphere of the Place! The sheep and the Alpacas were simply delightful! We were also fortunate enough to see several yellow eyed penguins at the nearby beach and meet a lovely warden Julie who knew a lot about them! We also got to see a little owl too at the farm! A first for us! Jennie was the perfect hostess! It was lovely chatting to her during our stay there! Thank you for making us so comfortable and cosy! We intend to visit again in the not too distant future!

great, comfy cool lamas
lovely spot. maybe a deck and verandah would be a good addition to give some shelterd outdoor space? I'm sure its great in summery weather as it is — but the weather was not so great when we were there and there isn't really an indoor space to hang out in. otherwise clean tidy lovely and quiet location. The lamas are a hoot.
