So you are coming to travel the South Island of New Zealand and the West Coast is on your itinerary. Congratulations on making a great decision! Now you need to figure out where to stay. There are lots of choices, from regular motel rooms, hotels and campgrounds. But, how about something a lot more interesting and fun? We can offer you a choice of places to suit your needs depending on your interests, group size and budget. Which ever option you choose, we promise you that it will be a lot more fun and memorable than a boring old motel room.
How about staying on a real NZ farm? At Blue Spur Farmstay you can stay in our farmhouse that is completely off-grid! It runs completely on solar power. At this eco-farm, all water is collected from rain water on the roof. We grow our own vegetables, have our own beehives and farm sheep, cows and poultry.
Here on the farm you can walk into the paddocks and feed the sheep, meet the cows and pigs and pet the goats. Everyone is welcome here!
- Sleeps up to 7 people
- Two private rooms available
- Private bathroom
- Free homemade breakfast included
- Free fast wifi
- Free bag of sheep food included
- Walk the farm and visit all the animals
- Learn about living off-grid in a sustainable way
- Plant a tree to offset your carbon footprint
- Enjoy a campfire
- Only 10mins drive to the town centre, glow worms and beach.
We are happy to spend some time with you if you want to learn about how we farm and how our eco-friendly house works. We can also offer you plenty of tips about what to see and do in the region while you are here.
Children especially love staying here and meeting the animals. We have plenty of kids toys and books and we can provide a portacot on request.
Our rooms are anything but boring. No plain hotel style rooms here!
Contact us via our Facebook page if you have any questions or want to enquire about dates.
If you are feeling more adventurous, how about a glamping experience in our off-grid tiny hut? Our Gold Nugget Hut is an upcycled tiny cabin located in a stunning part of the farm overlooking the paddocks, surrounded by native bush with views out to the Tasman Sea. A beautiful, romantic setting for two people.
