Where do I begin? Lynne & Tony are beyond words but let me try: Their newly built hideaway is as close as you could ever come to living the kiwi dream. Tucked away on top of a mountain you will wake up to misty valleys and feel like you're in the middle of the 'Lord of the Rings' saga except with all the comforts you could think of: state of the art kitchen, bathroom, underfloor heating, the most heavenly bed you have ever closed your eyes on...oh you name it, these avid world-travellers have thought of literally everything. I arrived to a crackling fire (cheesery & vineyards at your doorstep - bring plenty because you won't want to leave your fireside spot) and from there on memories were made. Watch out for Tony's pets (secret! ;), they might just make you laugh as much as this joke-cracking kiwi himself! Lynne & Tony, thank you for your generous hospitality, the countless local tips and wonderful time, the highlight of my time in NZ! I will be back!
