We stayed for 2 nights at Waiorau Homestead in May 2013. Ann and Blyth are great hosts, very friendly and hospitable. Their home is cosy and nicely decorated. If you are on the way from Queenstown to Wanaka and wants to stay out of town, this is a place to stay in.

I stayed at Waiorau Homestead with three other friends for 2 nights in May 2013. This was definitely one of the highlights of our South Island trip! The place is nestled in the beautiful Cardrona Valley, 20 minutes away from Wanaka and 45 minutes from Queenstown, making it convenient to explore both places by car. The property itself is immaculate... More

Wonderful B&B presented immaculately and is the type of property you would expect to see featured in a home / decorators magazine. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and always had a well stoked "real fire" lit in the sitting room. The owners were fantastic and fed us an amazing meal paired with the best of the local pinot noir. Can't wait... More

Our group of 7 stayed at Waiorau Homestead for 2 nights in May 2013. What an excellent homestead! It is so immaculately maintained and well furnished. Truly it gives us the feeling of home away from home. The location is perfect - far from the crowd and yet only 20 minutes to Wanaka and 45 minutes to Queenstown. Around the... More

Hi Lip & ladies - what fun we had while you were here and we certainly enjoyed having you all to stay. I am only pleased that Blyth was not spirited away to Singapore for chefing duties! We would love to see you here again and thank you very much for the kind review. Kind regards, Blyth & Ann. More

What a way to end our amazing South Island trip, staying at the Waiorau Homestead was just what the doctor ordered......and more! My girlfriend and myself set off on our first overseas trip to the South Island, our last 3 days which were spent at the Waiorau Homestead before heading back home were by far the most special.

Indeed an unforgettable stay that will be rooted in our memories for a long time to come. Everything about the house is beautifully and luxuriously decorated and designed with good taste. The fire place especially was a favourite place, more so when the weather was cold. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are very comfortable and clean. The common... More
