Johnny just made us feel right at home. We brought dinner fixings from the Countdown in Gore, and I was able to fix dinner easily - the kitchen made sense and had more than anything I needed. It was the dead of winter and we were plenty warm (awesome heated floor tiles in the bathroom!) We were still able to get a tour of the ranch and there was so much going on, even though it was winter. We also enjoyed a wonderful farm-to-table meal the second night. The best part was Johnny just letting us in his life for a couple of days - getting to know the life of South Island rancher.
