“Fantastic place. Saw heaps of stars and walking down the drive to see the glow worms was well worth it. The owner was lovely and we were so lucky to find this place. We have a joke that we were like Mary and Joseph…..hope there isn’t a miracle though! “
“We had such a wonderful time at Castlehill Barn. Owners very friendly, unintrusive and gave us some good ideas on activities in Otaki and spots to eat. The barn was really warm and had all we needed to cook an entire roast meal! Loved that it was a quick drive to the centre of Otaki, yet you feel like you are far away when at the barn. If you do have the pleasure of staying, make sure you go and visit the cows and lambs, so lovely! Hope to be back sometime.

“Fantastic little get away. It was what we really needed. The barn is a warm and unique and has a lot of interesting history. The surrounding land and the animals make it a place not to forget. A must see is the glow worms at night it is a magical experience. “
