Bed and Breakfast in Johnston

"Work trip and great location to destination. Stayed for a few days and had to extend, enjoyed it so much that I decided to remain at the same location. Beautiful views and loved the working farm all around and the pretty lamas. Hosts are kind and friendly and great communication. The tiny homes are brand new and well insulated and has everything and more than needed. You'll enjoy your stay!"

"Absolutely loved our stay at the Fern & Thistle Hotel in Balclutha! The historic charm of the house is beautifully preserved, with a stunning vintage garden full of old roses and unique plants. The amenities are outstanding—from the cozy dry sauna in a barrel cabin to the luxurious hot tubs (one in the room and a massive one in the garden). The countryside views add a peaceful touch, and the complimentary drinks and local beer were a generous bonus. Our room had a super king-size bed and Netflix on the TV, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The owner is warm, polite, and clearly takes pride in every detail. A truly special place—highly recommend! Steam curls in the garden air, roses dream in silence there. Barrel sauna, warm and still, country hush on every hill. Golden beer and velvet bed, gentle words the owner said. In this house, the past is near- peace and beauty, crystal clear."

"the view is amazing, the wee cottage has everything we needed to cook beautiful meals"

"Have stayed here before and was very happy to return. It’s a wonderful place with a great host. "

"We enjoyed our short stay. The bed, shower and heat pump were excellent. Hayley was very responsive to our queries. Better weather would have allowed us to experience the deck and environment!"
