The place

A whole house to yourselves on a 700-hectare working beef farm

Wilderbliss is a private, self-guided wilderness farm stay on a family-owned, approximately 700-hectare working beef farm. The house sleeps up to four guests in its standard configuration, with space for a fifth guest on an additional mattress.

There are no neighbours to share the view with — just paddocks, native bush, the braided Glenroy River and the birdsong of the upper South Island.
