I am glad I made the effort to take an early morning walk and see the sunrise light up the Ben ohau range west of your homestead. Thank you Roberta and have enclosed these wonderful photos for you. We hope to come again one day.

The perfect contrast to busy Christchurch & lively Queenstown. You know you are really in New Zealand when arrive at Rhoborough Downs. Roberta provides excellent hospitality and good food. The location is handy for Mount Cook and the local town of Twizel has shops and restaurants nearby.

So enjoyed the warmth of Roberta's charming home and sharing the stories of her quilts which graced each room. Short drive to Mt. Cook made this an especially appealing location. 		(none)
