Our second time staying here in the covered wagon. Very glamping, extremely unusual and loads of fun

We stayed in the Gypsy truck, I liked the novelty of it. It was cute and quirky.
The host was super helpful, and talked us through the features on arrival.
Surprisingly, the shower was excellent. Doesn't appear that way on first impression, however perfect temperature, and lots of pressure.
One suggestion would be a step or the like, if you are short, to get up into the loft bed.
We even saw baby ducks that were extremely friendly and came right up to us

We stayed in the yurt for one night. The owner was super friendly and considerate. He provided great hospitality to our family with a clean and fun yurt space, private bathroom, breakfast including fresh free range eggs and other breakfast options. My kids and I also enjoyed feeding and encountering the different types of farm animals onsite. Overall, we were very happy to stay in Wacky Stays. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stays however was overwhelmed by the rules on staying at the property the book lists was over the top and felt unwelcoming especially if you stay a minute over 10am checkout time they charge $20 per hour, the kitchen was good however not really clean the pots and pans need upgrading the owner was not friendly so made us uncomfortable on arrival. Maybe kids would like it with all the animals around the dogs were the best part so lovely.

It was most unique, a railroading buff would love it. A bit pricey but we didnt have other options. A vintage NZ train car you could sleep, eat and bathe in.

Awesome place to stay for a night “glamping” in Kaikoura. Family friendly. Loved the Llama trekking taster walk & feeding the farm animals. Very memorable and would recommend.

This is a great location a few KMs from Kaikoura. We wanted quiet and we got it. Set in lovely ground kept by the family it was simply lovely. The farm cottage is old but that is part of the experience the floors are uneven some doors you have bend a little to get in. This simply reflects the different eras in which additions or repairs where done. this cottage can sleep around 8 people comfortably (I am allowing for the couch as well).
Great water pressure, big lawn for the kids or maybe you could bring the caravan for a fee and park up with the rest of the family the outdoor space is wonderful.
The stove worked perfectly, outdoor BBQ and Pizza oven, things for the kids to do including long necked sheep sorry Llama's or similar. The person welcoming us was excellent Kevin (owner) gave us a good rundown. I really enjoyed this site while it is not new it is definitely comfortable and great for a family or group of friends

Very quirky which is what you expect when booking at a place called Waky Stays. Accommodation was clean and neat, but do be prepared to live among the animals. We stayed in the Tipi and it was raining but everything stayed dry and warm.

Three adults and two boy's (11 and 6) spent two nights in the farm cottage at Wacky Stays. Really enjoyed our stay, the boy's especially the youngest couldn't get enough of feeding and seeing the animals, and both of them made full use of the ride on pedal tractor, heaps of room for them to run around too. Wacky Stays very obliging and friendly, look forward to staying again.

We stayed in the farm cottage which was very clean and tidy. The heat pump warmed up the house very well and all the rooms were presented nicely. The kids loved feeding the animals in the morning and the staff were very friendly. We had all the privacy we wanted and the owner was very helpful.
