Cricklewood Farmstay, Alpaca walk and hot tub

Just under 10 minutes from Fairlie, 40 min from Lake Tekapo and only 1.5 hr from MT Cook, is our super cute historic Farmers cottage.

Watch and pet our friendly animals from the cottage and experience some of the best star gazing in New Zealand from our beautiful hot tub.

During your stay we offer a free animal tour of 1 hour, whereby you will visit some of our friendly animals incl bottle feeding our pet lambs (Aug-Dec), an Alpaca walk 🦙, and our friendly horses, cats, dogs and chickens 🥰
The space
You will have the complete cottage to yourself🌻

It offers a lovely open plan layout with all the bedrooms opening up to the lounge with a huge, and very functional, wood burner.

Collect your own eggs each morning and while cooking you can watch the alpacas and sheep whilst chatting with your family and friends by the fire or at the macrocarpa dining table.

There is a private deck of the kitchen and a cute little loft for even better views over the paddocks towards Mt Dobson and the other peaks.

Your private hot tub will always be on and ready for you at any time of the day both winter and summer. We do recommend a night session when the skies are clear. The stars in our dark sky area are truely mesmerising ✨
