Awatuna Homestead

The host was absolutely fantastic, the rooms were so cozy,clean and comfortable. Home made banana bread was so yummy!

The hosts are super friendly. Lovely people, lovely place.
Very clean and tidy.

Absolutely everything!

Perfect location for our holiday being just out of town was perfect and private.

Had a great overnight stay here nicely breaking up our 2 week tour of the South Island. Paul the host was extremely helpful and did everything he could to make our stay as good as it could be. All the comforts of home where here combined with a great host so I'd recommend Awatuna Homestead to anyone.

Beautiful property
Very clean and tidy
Hosts were extremely accommodating and the welcome was great

Everything. Lovely hosts and clean house. The beds are super comfortable; we woke up to beautiful garden view outside the window. It was considerate to prepare various drinks (although we didn’t have chance to enjoy) aside from milk in the fridge, as well as candies and banana muffins (delicious).

Paul and Lyndsey are fantastic hosts. We really regret booking only one night. Our room, or suite of rooms, was fantastic. Every little detail was taken care of including providing fruit, cake, drinks and milk. This really was one of our memorable stays in New Zealand. It was lovely to meet Jack, Jack's rabbit and Abbie the dog. You could tell our hosts took pride in the Homestead..

Good facilities in the self contained apartment.
Friendly and helpful hosts.
Value for money.
It was clean, tidy and comfortable
A quiet location except for one early morning train.
close proximity to a number of locations.

We stayed with Paul and Lyndsey and Jack for 1 night only and were very sorry not to stay longer. The house is gorgeous and the room impeccable. I had the added experience of a ‘mini yoga lesson’ from their lovely grandson.
Would love to stay again. Barbara and Martin, Ireland

Stayed overnight here on our NZ holiday. The owners were super friendly and obliging. Our 2-bedroom accommodation was an upstairs apartment attached (but separate) to the main house. Owners gave us tips on local sites and getting private access to the beach a short walk away, to beach-comb for jade stones. The apartment was beautifully appointed and supplied with more than we’d hoped for, including special treats. We could have stayed longer but the next step of our journey beckoned. Would definitely recommend.

This was easily the nicest accommodation that we stayed in during our 6 week tour of Australia and New Zealand. Lynsey and Paul are charming hosts who made us feel very welcome in their lovely home. The bed, bathroom and kitchen were top notch and we had the best nights sleep of our tour. We only heard the famous train once !
I wish the rest of our accommodation was as nice as the Homestead and that we were staying a few more days.
Highly recommended 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Really nice place we loved it. We had the apartment upstairs and it was wonderful.Everything you could possibly want for a night stay.

We were warned about the train but we didn’t hear it.

Lovely welcome. The best place we stayed at in New Zealand.

If you’re thinking of staying there then do because it’s really worth it

Great location, lovely hosts and very clean, would definitely rebook on my next trip, thank you.

Host family is amazing welcome people.

Hosts were super friendly. Arrived to Anzac biscuits and had banana bread in the morning at 5am.

A wonderfully and high-quality furnished apartment with an extremely nice host. The banana bread and muffins that we were kindly given were very tasty.
