I couldn't agree more with Carol when she called her place "heaven on earth". It is just so beautiful and peaceful. But this place wouldn't be completely heaven if Carol and Brian weren't there. They are absolutely lovely, so kind, they made me feel so comfortable, like if I have always been a friend of the family. The house is beautiful, well located and offered great outdoor activities. The bedroom is very clean and tidy. It was with tears that I left the Marlborough Sounds. I highly recommend to stay with Carol and Brian, you will not regret it.
