The space
Kererū Farm Stay NZ is set on a beautiful 20 hectares with rural valley and sea views. With forests trails, wild meadows and heaps of native birds you’ll feel a world away. Yet it’s just 15 minutes drive to the historic city of Dunedin.
The farm hosts Kererū Cottage and Kererū Guesthouse (with two queen bedrooms). Both pet friendly.
Kererū Cottage is separate and private with a cosy feel from which to enjoy the rural and sea views. Enjoy the wood burner in the comfortable living/dining room. Prepare a meal in the well equipped kitchen complete with 2 Induction hot plates, Air Fryer Oven, Microwave oven, full size fridge/freezer, Nespresso coffee machine and all the other essentials.
Relax and soak in the views from the Queen bedroom with ensuite.
The bedroom also includes a small double sofa bed suitable for children/single adult. A Portacot is available on request.
There is a Queen size sofa bed (with additional memory foam topper for extra comfort) in the living room for additional guests.
The lounge also has another 3 seater sofa, wingback chair, smart TV, wifi, dining table and a range of board games, books and kids toys to keep everyone entertained.
Outside patio and seating with a fully fenced private garden. BBQ for outdoor dining.
We are rural so be prepared for nightly wildlife sounds, insects, windy tree and chimney sounds at times, amazing dark starry nights and being woken by the dawn chorus of native birds.
Please refrain from smoking, preparing/cooking fish or spicy foods.
Guest access
Check in is strictly from 3:00pm and check out by 10:00am. Early check ins/check outs are not available.

Other things to note
Local ‘On the Spot’ shop and post office, ‘The Merchant’ store (organic and fresh produce, vegan goods, fresh bread) and great cafes just 5 mins drive in Waitati village.
Stunning Doctors Point Beach with arch caves and Warrington Beach 10-15 minute drive (both dog friendly) as shown in our additional photos.
The Leith Saddle and Mount Cargill walking tracks are just up the road (dog friendly). Along with Sullivans Dam loop walking track (dog friendly) which is also a tranquil fishing spot.
Or visit the popular Orokonui Ecosanctuary on Blueskin Road.
Our road is located off the main SH1 highway so Dunedin is just a 15 minutes drive with all the supermarkets, restaurants, historic buildings and access to the peninsula, including the Royal Albatross Centre and Penguin viewing, stunning Sandfly Bay with resident Sealions.
