    The hot tub outside was amazing. Great water pressure in shower, fully equipped kitchen and comfy bed. Nice semi rural setting but still close to the city.

    The property was great. It was very relaxing just sitting outside overlooking the fields with the rain and the company of Cookie & Freckles the pigs and Penny the calf. Was able to relax in the spa with a glass of wine later while it was still...

Welcome to the "LyeInn", which is situated in a private corner of our property. Come and enjoy the tranquility of the country with the convenience of being so close to town. Relax in the hot tub after a day of sightseeing whilst listening to the birds sing or feed our pet kunekune pigs some treats. Outside games are available on request to enjoy in your private backyard. Grazing for your horse is available including parking for horse float / truck on request. Please contact host in regards to this at least one week prior to check in.
The property has been in our family for the last 60 years so we know the area extremely well. The LyeInn is the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a busy day of sightseeing or for a quiet weekend away with the hot tub being a favourite of all our guests. We have two very friendly kunekune pigs who love to come and say hi to all our guests. Although we live on site, you will have complete privacy during your stay and we are available via phone for any issues or concerns. We look forward to hosting you
