Danseys Pass House | Historic Cottage in rural Oamaru with farm animals and outdoor baths

1 Bedroom House in Danseys Pass, Oamaru

The Little Red School house is a great spot to come for a romantic getaway for couples, a country retreat, a farm experience, an artists paradise, a writers lair or a solo trip for stress relief. The accommodation was once a school in the 1920s so while it has historic notions, it also has been sensitively modernized with full kitchen facilities, smart tv, double outdoor baths, queen size bed, free WIFI, heatpump/air conditioner, a washing machine, iron and comes with a free continental breakfast which you can enjoy outdoors on the deck or amongst the large garden setting. The accommodation is located on our 11500 hectare working family farm which runs sheep and beef cattle. The farm is situated over 400m above sea level so has fantastic views of rural landscapes, mountains and the ocean. An early morning or evening walk is amazing for taking in the sunrise or sunset. Our area is the pinnacle of true farm living. If our guests choose, with prior arrangement, they can have a taste of the farming lifestyle with a farm tour/experience as we love to share what we are passionate about as the farm has been in the family for four generations. There is a fantastic water hole close by which is great for swimming in the summertime and our roads/tracks are known for some great bike riding experiences. We have two walking tracks available for guests to use free of charge. You are welcome to meet our menagerie of pets which include horses, pet sheep, pet cows, goat, hens, dogs, cats and help yourself to fresh eggs for breakfast from the hen house (sorry not guaranteed). Or you can simply relax on the deck and enjoy the peace and quiet of country life and absorb the millions of stars on a clear warm evening. A Sky Watcher Telescope for star gazing can be hired for $25 for the duration of your stay. We also offer two dinner options at an additional cost which is either an antipasto platter with local cheeses, cured meats, fruits and pickles or a two course meal if notified within 48 hours of your arrival day.
The seaside township of Oamaru is a 30 minute drive for us offers the famous historic Victorian precinct, great walkways, an aquatic centre, Clarks Mill (historic flour mill with original machinery), Totara Estate (historic farm), Oamarus Prehistoric World, Steampunk HQ, Blue Penguin Colony, Ten Pin Bowling and our famous Whitestone Cheese Store to name a few.
In the other direction we are only a 30 minute drive from Duntroon which is home to the Vanished World Centre and 45 minutes from Kurow which hosts some great wineries. And if biking is your thing, then the Alps to Ocean cycle trial is a must. It starts at Mount Cook (the highest mountain in New Zealand), goes past the great lakes and rivers and ends in Oamaru. We are happy to collect any guests and their bikes from the Duntroon to Oamaru section of this trial.
Special conditions:
- Smoking allowed outside only.
- We have a queen sized bed in the accommodation and a sofa bed. A portacot is available that we can add in the room.
- The farm is a working sheep and beef farm, so we ask guests to stay within the fenced property of the Little Red School house unless they are with us or have our permission once we have advised of any safety hazards.
