Beautiful decor too ##### Kirstin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Feb 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb My friend and I stayed at the Factory for one night on our travels around New Zealand. All I can say is I wish we had been staying for longer! The elegance and quality of this old Dairy farm are beyond compare. We had the whole wing of three bedrooms to ourselves. Each of the three rooms is decorated beautifully and the beds were so comfortable that it was the best night's sleep that either of us had in our two week stay in NZ. Janet and Paul were so helpful and such lovely warm people. Not to mention the best breakfast I had in NZ when Janet cooked up a three course breakfast of museli, fresh stewed rubarb and berries from the garden, followed by crayfish caught by Paul the previous day. Thank you so much to them both. What can I say other than this is one of the best places I have ever been lucky enough to stay at and there is nothing at all to fault. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Club La Santa - all sports inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tinajo-Hotels-Club-La-Santa-All-Sports-Inclusive.h10481064.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge Hotel - Putney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Lodge-Hotel-Putney.h891455.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mount-Cook-Hotels-The-Hermitage-Hotel-Mount-Cook.h179149.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d2205-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [ibis Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Ibis-Christchurch.h1641197.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Chateau on the Park - Christchurch, a DoubleTree by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Chateau-On-The-Park-Christchurch.h19345.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dalaman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalaman-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aDLM-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The George Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-George-Christchurch.h16116.Hotel-Information) > > [Southwark Hotel & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Southwark-Hotel-Apartments.h5666932.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Christchurch by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Christchurch.h18147427.Hotel-Information) > > [Sudima Christchurch Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Sudima-Christchurch-Airport.h889383.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-Novotel-Christchurch-Cathedral-Square.h2759152.Hotel-Information) > > [Caprice Isabel Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Son-Servera-Hotels-Aparthotel-Ferrer-Isabel.h14582416.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [CIVILIAN Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Civilian-NYC.h66148063.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Tenbury Wells](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Tenbury-Wells-Hotels.s50-0-d6053483.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Lucia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lucia-Hotels.d6124931.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/iom/newcastle-to-isle-of-man) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Kolymbia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Kolymbia.d6052016.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ---
