Everything Anne and Gary noted on their description is spot on and the pictures really don't do it justice. Pulling back the curtains in the morning and one can't help but smile - it's just beautiful. Check-in went smoothly and we were able to be greeted by Gary (it was a work day) shortly after arriving. His recommendation for dinner was great, we went back there for dinner on our last night. We met Anne the next day and she had some local trails near Queenstown for us. They just left us to our own the rest of trip but when I did have a question contact was very easy. Make sure you rent a car it will be much easier for you to get around, the driveway is a bit tight , but their home is pretty easy to find. Staying here helped make our trip to New Zealand a memorable one. Hotels are nice but being able to go 'home' after a day of exploring is so much nicer. I guess the bottom line is if you are looking for a wonderful little place to call home as you explore the south island Anne and Gary's place is a lovely place to get.
