    Amazing stay with a great host. Loved to have the cottage a bit out of the way of the main road and had a great night's sleep. We were able to feed the sheep as well as getting a load of information about little river. Ans the cottage is well...

    Comfortable and quiet location to focus on relaxing, with spectacular views. All modern facilities provided in a small package. Literally sitting next to a paddock with sheep and lambs for company - and one of the largest cats I have ever seen....

    We loved the peace and quiet! Had a good rest, and on our last night, we were fortunate to have clear skies, which gave us the most spectacular view of the night sky! Felt like we could touch the stars! Hope we can return sometime in the future.

Lochsloy Farm stands at the head of Lake Wairewa, with views across the lake to Kaitorete Spit, and beyond, to the sea. It is a small working farm, producing sheep for wool, and with a small forestry block and a stand of native bush. While here, you can experience some of New Zealand's rarer native birds, such as the tui, keruru and bellbird. Feel free to enjoy our eighteen acres - commune with the animals or walk through our small area of native bush.
Rob & Marie live on Banks Peninsula, in the South Island of New Zealand, husband and wife for a number of years. We write, grow vegetables, labradors, chickens, sheep and sometimes make things from wool and wood.
Little River is often referred to as The Gateway to Banks Peninsula. From Lochsloy Farm it's just a short drive to Birdling's Flat, where you can find gemstones on the beach. The popular tourist destination of Akaroa is a half hour drive, while the Rail Trail cycle way is a five minute ride from your door. There are dozens of walks on the peninsula, some easy and others more challenging. Or you can enjoy driving some of the scenic routes around the peninsula, and visit some of our historic sites.
