Julie and John's warm hospitality was above and beyond any Air BnB experience that we have had. Communication and booking was easy. Upon arrival at their gorgeous farm, charming Julie warmly welcomed us to their lovely cottage. Inside, the decorating and amenities were beyond any that we have experienced: wonderful breakfast fixings and two beers plus a delicous local wine were chilling in the fridge. Comfy bed and lots of hot water. The cottage was immaculately clean. John is a friendly and interesting man who joined Julie in sharing some of their favorite places in NZ, both locally as well as in the direction of our travels. We wish that we had booked a longer stay at their place. Highly recommend staying here, it will be an enjoyable NZ experience and well worth traveling to-even if it is a bit out of your way!
