Beresford Rise

Beresford Rise sleeps two and is exclusive to two adults only.

Beresford Heights & Rise is located on our working sheep and beef farm which means pets are strictly prohibited for their own safety and our stock and wildlife.

Beresford Rise is adults only.

Technically no we are not however we will do our best to work with any disability or special request. Beresford Heights is only accessible via ATV so Beresford Rise with its self drive aspect is a slightly easier alternative. Both accommodations have three steps to get inside and normal sized door ways.

Please email us for more information.

Yes, both Beresford Rise and Beresford Heights have no light pollution so if the Aurora's are there you will see them. However we can not guarantee them as it will be dependant on the weather.

Clear skies are essential, so check cloud cover forecasts. For real-time aurora predictions, tools like Spot the Aurora and Aurora Alerts Otago offer updates on geomagnetic activity and visibility scores.
