"Excellent brief cut off from everyday craziness. Focus on what really matters, like breathing. Loved my warm outdoor bath at sunset. Planning my next stay."

About this cabin rental


The Shepherd's Rest is located on a 300 acre working bull beef farm but only a 5 minute drive to central Oamaru. Our location is perfect for those who want to explore Oamaru and the Waitaki area but also want to escape to the country.

It is ideal for 2 adults.

The Shepherds Rest is a cosy shepherds hut, a tiny house experience with a bit of glamping thrown in!

Unwind in the outdoor gas heated bathtub.

Enjoy the view and say hi to our alpacas and pet sheep. Be entertained by their antics. We provide food so you can feed them.

Sleep well in the queen size bed with fairy lights above for a bit of magical effect.

It has a kitchenette with a mini fridge, rice cooker, 2 ring cook top, electric jug and toaster as well as crockery and cutlery. Gas Barbecue outside.

It has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, vanity and Bambooloo composting toilet.

Linen and towels provided.

Cape Cod chairs outside so sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the views. Great for stargazing at night and outlook is towards the Kakanui Ranges.

There is NO WIFI - the idea is to unwind and escape technology for a bit. There is a selection of games and books to keep you amused.

Maximum of 2 adults and no children.

6 / 10Average·May 2023
This hut is well loved. Alot of care has gone into creating a beautiful stay. A few elements in the decore werent to my taste, however; thats to be expected. The hot water was a good strength and the early morning was well aquainted with gentle mist and alpaca.
