How much does Criffel Station cost per night?
Criffel Station is listed at NZ$150–$280 per night. New Zealand farm stay rates are normally quoted per property rather than per person, so a group filling the property pays less per head. Confirm the current rate and what it includes directly with the property — we take no commission and do not handle bookings.
How many people can stay at Criffel Station?
Criffel Station sleeps up to 12 guests across 5 rooms. For comparison, the median listing in our directory sleeps 6. Ask the property for the room-by-room bed configuration — a headline capacity can be made up of bunks rather than doubles, which matters for who is travelling.
What can you do at Criffel Station?
Criffel Station offers Deer Farming, Beekeeping and Animal Feeding. What is actually available on any given day depends on the season and on what the farm is doing that week — spring is lambing and calving, autumn brings harvest and shearing. Ask when you book rather than assuming everything runs year-round.
Where is Criffel Station?
Criffel Station is at Wanaka Area, Central Otago, in the Otago region of New Zealand. Rural properties typically sit 30–90 minutes off the main touring routes and there is no useful public transport, so a rental car is effectively required. Drive the final approach in daylight the first time — farm gates are rarely signposted the way a hotel is.
What is included at Criffel Station?
Criffel Station lists WiFi. Meals are not listed for this property. Across the listings in our directory that record their amenities, 67% do include them, so it is worth asking.
What kind of farm is Criffel Station?
Criffel Station is a mixed livestock farm, offering a working farm experience — guests can join in with the day-to-day running of the property.
Can you bring a dog to Criffel Station?
Assume not, and ask before booking. Most New Zealand farm stays are working stock properties where an unfamiliar dog is a stock-worrying risk, and none of the 60 listings in our directory records pets as welcome. Criffel Station has not published a pet policy with us — contact the property directly.
Is Criffel Station any good?
