Thanks to shirley & john for so much heartful hospitality. We enjoyed so beautiful scenery from our balcony, gorgeous breakfast and most of all conversations with you two. No other place better than this.

It was like visiting a favourite relative. Wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable accommodation. Hospitality awesome, service first class. If I had ove tiny criticism it would be lack of wardrobe space in rooms.

Super bed, breakfast menu to choose from and so delicious. Beautiful evening meal with lovely hosts. Expected a bedroom, ensuite and got a spacious lounge all to ourselves as well. So sorry we could only stay one night but if we come back to New Zealand again, we certainly will be staying here. Haven't had hospitality like this before. The highlight of our trip.
