Ardgour Strawbale Bed and Breakfast

Claire and her husband (Keith?) as well as max (dog) made us feel very at home. 
Lovely couple and lovely little cottage.  Perfect for two people. Breakfast was fresh, lovingly home made and sufficient. 

The house made from Straw Bale’s was very cool and the little bit of the farm that we saw was lovely. 

You probably wouldn’t spend more than 1-2 nights here, but you would enjoy the time that you did spend here!



Very comfortable self contained room in tranquil in rural environ, set amongst olive groves. Clean, tidy well appointed.  Super friendly hosts.  Very good value.   Not far by car to Cromwell or Tarris if wanting restaurants.

Claire and Geoff welcomed us onto their beautiful property, and although we were there only a night they made us feel unbelievably welcome. It was hard to stop staring out over the amazing views. Would definitely love to stay here again.

We finally returned here, having stayed many years before and even found our old entry in the visitors book. The place is still the same, off the beaten track and absolutely worth turning off the main highway. Great place for cyclists coming over Lindis Pass as well as Cromwell would still be a bit to go. 
Claire and Geoff who now own the place are just as lovely as the original owners and Claires dinner was just perfect. Especially when you can have it outside with a view. 
And her apricots from the trees just a few meters from the house are just totally addictive.

It was our luck that we could not find accommodation in Wanaka and we booked into Geoff and Claire's beautiful B&B.  Just sad we only had one night.  The room was spacious and comfortable and had everything we required.  The breakfast was lovely, especially the homemade yoghurt and muesli.  We hope to return one day and stay for a few nights, it is so peaceful and a real taste of the Otago countryside.

Excellent stay. Highly recommended 

New owners - but just as good as we remembered it

Otago delight

B&B accomodation

Cosy, relaxing getaway.

This place is out-of-touch with what clean means.  The host took a LOT of time explaining health & safety aspects which was totally unnecessary.  Overall it was the most disappointing experience; unclean towels, mould in showerbox, a poor breakfast.  Not much good to say unfortunately because the price on the BookIt platform should have reflected 5 star :-(

Couldn't get a worse experience

For the cost of staying here I would expect not to have animal fur on the bed, body hair in the shower, which desperately needs bleaching, or have to wash dishes. The towels were disgusting, stale smelling, and only good if you need a bloody good exfoliation, so hard and crusty. The only one good thing I can say was that the bed was comfortable, other than that I wouldn't recommend this place. 

Not for me

First the host told us we couldn't check in until 4pm because she had to clean - what a joke - there were spiderwebs and the showerbox was filthly.  Didn't want to use the towels - they were old, thin, crusty and smelly.  We were looking forward to breakfast until the host said she didn't have enough bacon - if you can call it that :-( for us both.  Seriously this place is on the take.

Thoroughly disappointing

Ripped off!  This is not five star accommodation but you would think so by the price!  Meanest breakfast ever, host told me she didn't have enough bacon for me.  Showerbox was filthy and so were the towels.  NOT recommended experience.
