Ireland“The place is 'wacky' as advertised. Unique. A great place to stay for a couple of nights. Not far from Kiakoura but a car is essential. We stayed in the converted train carriage. More expensive than the normal overnight stays but it's worth...” - Kim New Zealand“Excellent stay in the old farm cottage, very comfortable, great bed.”
- Lisa
Australia“We stayed in the wagon which was very cute. Nice waking up to the animals in the morning.” - Scott New Zealand“We LOVED our stay on the train carriage at Wacky Stays, a unique and fun stay that we would thoroughly recommend for young families! We tagged along at the feeding time tour to meet all the animals - this was so great - the llamas and the deer...”
