Very fun and funky accommodations! Bed was comfy, shower was small but nice!! We were treated to a local farmers market right behind the silos in the morning, got some great cheese! It rained most of the time but we still had a blast. It’s very pretty and you can see horses and sheep nearby.

Close to bike trail!

Very cool place and getting in was easy. Parking was kind of a mess as it appeared there were assigned spots, but someone took my spot, so I ended up taking someone else's spot. The bed could defiantly be better, I would give that about a 5 out of 10. There were some cob webs that should have been caught, but that should be a daily thing making sure that fans are clean and no cobwebs. The TV was kind of hard to figure out. I think any time you need a manual to understand how to turn on the TV, that is a problem. I figured it out, it just took me like 15 min. But overall was a good place to stay and a cool experience.

For people who like unique and quirky.

I stumbled across SiloStay on the internet while planning our 30 day trip to New Zealand and had to revise our itinerary to fit this in for 2 nights. We were not disappointed. Inventive, unique, quirky and very well done. Remember to wear socks when going to the lower level to use the toilet at night as the steel stairs are pretty cold on bare feet.

Fantastic and Quirky

This is a wonderfully quirky and fun experience which I highly recommend. The burgers at The Little River Inn were also wonderful, as was the breakfast at the little River Cafe. We would happily have stayed longer. Love the toilet and shower, plus a comfy bed. The only issue was there was some slight difficulty in getting the TV signal, but really it was just a beautiful experience.

Fun, quirky place, fine for a short stay. Only complaint was the odor when we entered our unit…disinfectant or insecticide perhaps. Had to sleep with door open to mitigate smell. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
