Creative, Helpful, Friendly
We are in a unique location, very private and with access to Dunedin and Port Chalmers and Aramoana. We have sheep and lambs to pet if you wish.
On a typical day...
I’m a clean person and keep a clean house.
When I host guests...
I can answer questions but let my guests do their own thing.

We could barely get up the mud drive to the house. It was freezing cold with no heating, a see through curtain on the bathroom/toilet doorway connected to the bedroom and one duvet on two single beds despite Sally knowing it was our 40th wedding anniversary. There was solid coffee in the container and there was only water provided in a plastic bottle
Host reply
I,m sorry I offered to reconfigure beds to a superking on arrival but this was refused and was told the anniversary was several days ago. daily. It is winter and a farm drive is what we have and we navigate it safely. The guests left before the arranged breakfast time with no communication. I give my guests bottled water to make tea and coffee and for teeth brushing and in the bedroom as we are on Tank water and although filtered want to be doubly sure they are receiving the best. There were three coffees to choose from, The room has double glazing, and wool insulation and had two high quality duvets. I don't overly heat the bedrooms as I don't think its healthy or necessary. A fan heater is supplied for the guests use. Breakfast was arranged for 7.30 and the guests had left before 7 when I got up to prepare it. Each bed had a duvet and an extra blanket.I am frankly astonished at this review.

Sally & Kerry were great hosts and I enjoyed my stay there thoroughly. Rooms are bright & modern, cracking views. Rural location so very quiet. Loved it
