The Shepherd's Rest
​Glamping

​The Shepherd's Rest is a cosy Shepherd's hut, reminiscent of the huts shepherds would shelter in while tending to their flock of sheep.  The Shepherd's Rest is suitable for a maximum of 2 adults - sorry no children allowed. The hut is separate from our home & has a view looking out over neighbouring farmland & the Kakanui Ranges. 
It's a tiny space and a little like glamping but with the luxury of electricity.
​
It has a queen size bed with fairy lights above to create a bit of magic!
There is a kitchenette with mini-fridge, electric jug, toaster, 2 ring cooker,  rice cooker, cutlery and crockery as well as small table and chairs for dining.
The ensuite bathroom contains a shower, vanity and composting toilet. 
Unwind in the OUTDOOR BATHTUB.
Relax outside in the Cape Cod chairs with a glass of wine or venture out at night  for a bit of star-gazing.
Say hello and feed our curious alpaca.
​Mini herb garden. 

​We provide linen, towels, fluffy bathrobes and toiletries.
There are boardgames to keep you entertained.
Note there is NO WIFI - it's digital detox time!!

You can still sleep in the hut over the winter months. It has a heater as well as plenty of spare blankets. Just remember that the hut is a glamping experience and is not the same as a house. 

STRICTLY NON-SMOKING/VAPING. NO PETS ALLOWED.

The Shepherds Rest is self-catering so remember to bring your food for meals or visit one of Oamaru's restaurants and cafes.

 Farm tour is not included but can be purchased for an extra $40 (subject to availability).
​If you are part of a group of 4 (where 2 people are staying in the Ardgowan Room) then you can also come to the house for Continental Breakfast; additional fee applies.
