Farmstay Accommodation
Authentic farm stay lodging and meals to suit all tastes.
Enjoy culinary delights prepared by your S² hosts using locally sourced ingredients. The Sunnyside Farmstay is the perfect location to escape the hustle and bustle during your adventures in the Fiordland Region.
The Sunnyside Station Farmstay provides boutique accommodations for clients in a remote bucolic setting beside Fiordland. The farmstay has two private rooms for guests and is graced with spectacular views of the Takitimu Mountains. We never mix groups, so clients who book with us have the accommodations for their exclusive use.
Your S² hosts have many years of experience as private chefs, so you’ll be well catered for during your stay. Meals focus on locally sourced ingredients and can cater to all dietary restrictions and preferences.
The farmstay is located on a private deer and sheep station that’s bordered by 9kms of the Waiau River to the East and the vast Fiordland wilderness to the West. We have some of the regions best fishing and hunting on our doorstep, so it’s the perfect location to be based during your S² trip.
