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.

Great concept, very well built and quite creative with lots of novel ideas. Built 10yrs ago and kept really clean by the current owner. A place we will remember in a very quiet area. Located on the main road, however there were no traffic at all at night. There is no AC, we had a 30C day and the Silo was too warm upon our arrival (one of my fear). However there are fans on both floors that helped cool the place quickly. We had a great night with the patio door open. So no AC was not a worry! A must see IMO.
