About this Holiday House

**Little Red School House Bed and Breakfast – Oamaru, New Zealand** Tucked away just 30 minutes inland from Oamaru, the Little Red School House offers a truly unique and authentic New Zealand countryside experience. Set on a working sheep and beef farm, this charming accommodation is steeped in history – the building served as a rural school from 1925 to 1949 and still retains many original features, thoughtfully blended with modern comforts. Guests can unwind on the sunny deck, enjoy the spacious lawn, or soak under the stars in the luxurious double outdoor baths. On clear evenings, the stargazing is spectacular. A continental breakfast is included with your stay, and you can choose to indulge further with a locally-sourced grazing platter or a hearty home-cooked dinner. For those wanting to immerse themselves in farm life, the hosted farm tour is a must – featuring a narrated drive across the property, working dog demonstrations, sheep shearing, and a chance to meet the friendly farm animals. Whether you're after a peaceful rural retreat, a slice of Kiwi heritage, or an interactive farming experience, the Little Red School House offers it all.
