As busy as Wanaka or Queenstown might be in ski season, Ann and Blyth offer a warm welcome and a tranquil respite in a beautiful, historical homestead setting. The "pool house" accommodation offered us everything we needed and more, including a hot tub and generous provisions. To top it off, Blyth prepared and served us a five-course gourmet meal fit for royalty. Five stars aren't enough for the experience we had here.
