private, star gazing in historic barn

Welcome to Barn 8 Studio, our renovated historic barn, once a community hall. Our entirely private studio is fully self contained making it easy to stay for a relaxing nights get away or a longer holiday in the Central Otago region. We live in a semi-rural setting where we run a small lifestyle block. As animal owners we love to host your pets too, as can appreciate they want a holiday sometimes!! It is the perfect place for star gazing in the outdoor bath at the end of a days exploring too.
