Sawdon - Shearing Farm Cottage. Basis Kiwi Holiday accommodation.

Wonderful location and tremendous communication

What an amazing old farmhouse, lovingly restored by the owners. A fantastic place to stay while exploring the Lake Tekapo area. Would stay again any time!

The kids love it at Sawdon Station. They get to go on a tractor ride and bottle feed the young sheeps. It was a great experience for the kids. Plus the whole family get to stay together in a big house with facilities to cook. If one is travelling from Lake Tekapo, must take a good look out on the left side of the road. We missed it the first time. Other than that, all was great.

What a great place to stay! We had a family get-together with 10 in total. The cottage is very well equipped with plenty of space and all the children had an awesome time on the farm (no electronics in tow), just bein kids. Would definitely stay again. Many thanks ??

Nice cosy bach with lots of room and a beautiful location.

This was a great experience and our family that came from Perth loved it including the snow. The accomodation was just what we needed and we would certainly come again. Our hosts where very welcoming including a basket of fresh farm eggs and the fire going on arrival. Thanks again

We absolutely loved our time staying in the shearers' quarters at Sawdon Station. The location is the best of both worlds - you feel like you're miles from anywhere, but it's an easy five-minute drive from Tekapo. The accommodation was super cosy and comfortable, with a big stack of wood for a roaring fire, and magical views beyond the woolshed to the mountains. We loved collecting pinecones for the fire, having family dinners around the big kitchen table, and just standing outside gazing at the incredible starry sky! Sue was a lovely host who made sure we had everything we needed and gave us lots of great recommendations for local activities - including horse trekking, which was amazing. We really hope to come back one day!

The second time we have stayed - and will be back next year. Great location and facilities are perfect for what we need. Sue and Snow are super accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic few days there with family over the New Year period. Gazing up at the awesome starry night sky while welcoming in the New Year was a highlight! The Shearing Quarters was perfect for us, with plenty of space for all and a large lounge to play board games, cards etc or just reading a book. Close to Tekapo but gave us the feeling we were miles from the crowds in our own little slice of paradise!

The Shearer's Quarters are a spacious cottage with everything one needs for a comfortable stay in a beautiful location, with brilliant sun rise and sun set views across the main devide. We will definitely be back!
