“Penny's place is located in-between Twizel and Tekapo. The most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed in so far. Great stay, lovely views, clean and Penny was informative and friendly. If you would like the NZ farm experience, then this is the perfect place for you.”

“Our stay at Marytrickle was lovely! The accommodation was so beautifully appointed, the bathroom was big and modern, the bed like a 5 star hotel bed, the kitchen had everything we needed plus four fresh eggs for breakfast. And to top it off, views and gorgeous farm animals to say hello to just next door. We come back again without hesitation, thank you Penny”

“Penelope’s place is perfect! It was nice to wake up to see the animals and the chickens were adorable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for somewhere in New Zealand that’s a little different from everywhere else. The stars in the night sky were gorgeous as well.”
