Big Stay at Big Sky!

Kay was so welcoming; that we felt right at home the minute we met her. She was the perfect host. We really enjoyed getting to know her and her husband. This BNB has only two rooms located right next to each other complete with all the amenities. Breakfast was delicious and a choice between full and continental. Do book a hot tub at her Daughters business- Hot Tubs of Omarama while you are there - you’ll be glad you did!

Excellent hosts, Comfortable stay, Hearty Breakfst

Stayed here for one night as we drove around South Island. Kay and Hank are wonderful hosts. Warm, kind, positive, welcoming, hospitable and worldly. There are only 2 units attached to the main house (but still private). We arrived earlier than our check-in time by 45 mins and our room was still ready. The room is self sufficient, super clean and has everything you would need for a short stay. If you have huge suitcases and want to hang all your stuff, there might not be enough space for that. Bed is comfortable, shower pressure is good, Wi-Fi is decent. Lot of towels provided. There is an area to relax outside on the hammock or on the swing. Kay prepared an excellent and hearty breakfast for us in the morning. it was a great start to the morning as we made our way to Mount Cook which is 1 hour away. Location is great - close to the town restaurants and 4 square mini market. Also a great plus is that there is air conditioner in the room for warm nights. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
