Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Big Sky?
Head towards Akaroa, you will go past the Hilltop Tavern. At this point the road starts to go downhill. You will see signs to turn right towards Wainui and French Farm - turn right and then after about 15 seconds you turn right onto Moores Road - it’s a sharp right hand turn up the single road. We are at the very end - the road turns to shingle, keep going you will see a vineyard on your left and our property is 111 Moores Road at the end of the road - it’s a cul-de-sac.
There is a lock box with a key in our letter box. Details will be sent once a booking is confirmed.
If you go past Barrys Bay cheese factory you have missed the turn off and need to turn around.
We are located at the end of a steep country road, but don’t worry Grandma in her Demio can get up the hill no trouble. The road is a narrow country lane. Coming up the road you may see the odd pheasant or a rabbit on your way up. As we are in a country area there are no street lights at night. You may meet another car coming down the road as you drive up and if that’s the case just pull over and let them pass.
What does it cost to rent Big Sky?
The cost to rent the whole place is $1, 200 ($300 per room)
Who is the beautiful dog in the picture?
Meet Rodger, our Clumber Spaniel. The property is pet friendly, but we do have sheep next door, but we have a high deer fence, so you can bring your poochies, but keep an eye on them.
Can we play loud music late into the night?
A big part of the charm of Big Sky is its serenity. While your music is probably awesome, any noise, if it’s too loud and intrusive, will spoil the night time tranquility.
