Little River, New Zealand

Experience a quirky escape at SiloStay, where each isolated, 2-storied grain silo is transformed into a private sanctuary perfect for couples, solo adventurers, or the unconventional business traveler. Revel in the odd charm of a bedroom that not only offers a comfy queen bed but also surprises you with a ceiling hatch for stargazing right from your pillow. SiloStay promises a weirdly wonderful getaway like no other.

Outside

Step right up to the most unconventional slumber party of your life - in repurposed grain silos, stacked in double-decker fashion. Each of the nine silos offers a two-floor adventure, turning agrarian chic into a cozy night’s stay.

Upon arrival, you’re met with a check-in experience straight out of a hipster’s daydream: an al fresco kiosk, a delightful book swap, and an eco-friendly corner for trash and treasures!

Upstairs

Picture this: a plush bed so inviting it already has towels out, almost as if they’re whispering, ‘nap time’.

Ever taken a shower in the bedroom? Neither had we until this wonderfully odd hotel made us believers. It’s an innovative twist on space-saving, or perhaps just the right touch of bizarre - you decide.

Stargazers, assemble! Each silo is topped with a hatch that opens up to the night sky, providing a personal planetarium experience that is truly out of this world.

Downstairs

Navigate downstairs and you’ll find a compact yet charming kitchen space and a toilet area, where eco-friendly innovation allows for a simultaneous hand wash and toilet tank refill. Yes, you read that right.

Whip up a culinary masterpiece? Challenge accepted! This kitchen isn’t just stocked; it’s like the Swiss Army knife of hotel room kitchens. Bon appétit!

Environment

Step out onto the balcony and you’re greeted with a panorama that captures the quaint allure of our small town surroundings. It’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or toast to the setting sun.

Pros

🎨 Well-Designed Space: The hotel impresses right off the bat with its clever use of space and meticulous attention to detail. Everything is laid out in a way that makes sense and enhances the overall guest experience.

🏭 Industrial Chic: If you’re a fan of unique and consistent theming, this place hits the nail on the head. The vibe runs seamlessly from the exterior to the interior, creating a cohesive and immersive atmosphere.

🌌 Want to stargaze without leaving your ultra-comfy bed? There’s a hatch for that!

🚴 Rentable bikes and the “Silo Exchange” for bookworms and board game enthusiasts. Active or relaxed, take your pick!

🏞️ Scenic Splendor: Nestled in a picturesque small town and surrounded by majestic mountains and lush greenery, this hotel is a visual treat for nature lovers.

Cons

• 🌡️ DIY Climate Control: Don’t expect central heating and cooling here. You’ll have to make do with fans and a wall heater to keep things comfy.

• 🚿 Shower exhibition: Fancy a shower in the bedroom? It’s unique, but make sure you’re comfortable with the roomie seeing you in a towel (or less).

• 🌳 Beautiful small town, but not much happening around. Quiet… perhaps too quiet?

• 🚴 Rentable, not free: Bikes for exploring the scenic surroundings? Yes, please. But remember, they’re for rent, not on the house.

• 💡 Light switches galore! “On/off” might have you playing detective.
