Janet
A lovely rustic cottage on a sheep farm. Great views of the hills all around and wonderful to be able to walk around part of the farm.. Comfy beds and nice linen. Nice to sit on the deck with an evening drink and use the BBQ for dinner. Handy enough to Lake Tekapo only about 5 km away.
Claire
Great cottage and people!! Sue and Snow were very welcoming and helpful. The kids loved being able to go on the tractor and see the animals on the farm. Ideally located being only 5 minutes from Tekapo township. We would love to visit again and recommend Sawdon Station to any who are considering staying there!
Emma
Great wee cottage, lovely & warm. Beautiful setting on the station away from the hussle & bussle of town yet close enough for skiing both Dobson & round hill. Thanks for a great stay Sue, my boys loved being part of life on the station & able to explore. We'll be back!
