Ika & Chris were such wonderful hosts, starting with smooth pre-arrival communication and by sharing not only some of their delicious farm produce upon arrival (those free-roaming chicken are in deed happy) but also some of their time and world-traveller experiences. We felt at home and at peace the first minute. Our kids were also happy to fold origami and play with their nice daughter, dog and cat. The cottage itself was meticulously clean, cosy and warm at all times and perfectly stocked (even some DVDs for kids). The farm is easy enough to find at the end of the meandering road which gave ample opportunity to watch wildlife (loads of rabbits) and the nearby snow-capped mountain range. Queenstown and all its attractions are in easy reach. We cant wait to come to this little hand-made gem also in spring, summer or autumn !
