Upon arrival Jeanette and Bruce welcomed us like family and immediately asked us in for tea. The cozy apartment is by far one of our most favorite stays. Beautifully clean, wonderful wifi, and it has the MOST comfortable king size bed we have had the pleasure of using in our 3month NZ visit. The little touches throughout made it feel so homey and welcoming. Fresh lavender bundle, vase of flowers from her own garden, fresh eggs courtesy Jen's Hen's!!! They have thought of everything you could possibly want or need. Comfortable lounge area and outside seating with a view of the garden and hazel nut trees. The shower was fabulous with a lovely soft robe waiting by the door. We were invited to have bacon and eggs using their kitchen for breakfast or you could easily enjoy a breakfast feast from the assortment of supplies laid out in the apartment. The cupboard and frig were well stocked. We shared wine and stories both evenings we were there. Bruce kindly loaned us fishing tackle, we came home empty handed and so they had us to supper. One evening we used the outside grill. They are situated in the International Dark Sky Reserve. Ideal for star gazing right in their yard!! The location is perfect for visiting Lakes Tekapo and Pukaki. We couldn't have asked for more lovely, easy going, generous, down to earth Hosts. We would like to return for a 2 week stay with Bruce as our fishing guide. Jeanette's sense of humor is infectious, she will keep you smiling!This was a better stay than most 5 star hotels we have visited.
