Carol and Brian were wonderful hosts. From the time they met us in the drive until we left we had a splendid time. We joined them in a day trip to Blenheim and went to several wineries while they ran errands. Carol served two breakfasts and a dinner which were all outstanding. She also surprised me with a homemade chocolate cake for my birthday. Brian is a wealth of knowledge on all things New Zealand and was fun to chat with. He took my wife and I on a short hike to see glow worms (while Carol prepared the birthday surprise). Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!
