We so enjoyed our stay on Chris and Ika's working farm! Our guest cottage was lovely and had everything we could need while we were there. It was hard to believe that Chris built the beautiful house and cottage (and everything else there) himself! It was special to have some farm-grown and homemade things waiting for us in the kitchen. We loved getting to have breakfast out on our own little balcony listening to the hum of life all around us. We made fast friends with their sweet dog Bob and cat Katy (when she would let us) and silly Midnight the pig. We had a fantastic time experiencing Queenstown and the surrounding area, but one of our favorite things about our trip was getting to know Chris and Ika. They were so warm and welcoming, and we had wonderful conversations with them every day - getting to know them, learning about their life on the farm and all that they do there, taking away some valuable life lessons from what they shared with us, and laughing at their great stories. They were so kind and fun to be with - we just had such a great time! We hope we get to go back some day. Staying here was the perfect way to end an amazing trip!
