The Shepherd's Rest is a cosy Shepherd's hut (tiny home), 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 small but comfortable 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, pots, pans, cutlery and crockery plus table and chairs for dining. The ensuite bathroom contains a shower, vanity, Bambooloo composting toilet and hairdryer. Unwind and soak in the gas heated 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 and sheep who are in the paddock around the hut. Alpaca nuts provided so you can feed them at your leisure. For an additional fee you can also participate in the 4pm Farm Tour.
We provide linen, towels, fluffy bathrobes (supplied for direct bookings only) and toiletries. There are boardgames to keep you entertained. Note there is NO WIFI - it's digital detox time!!
There is an electric heater and spare blankets for the winter months.
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.
