Anyone visiting Lesley's cabin will find it sparkling clean and a lovely note of bygone days with all the mod cons. As a New Zealander I was reminded of life as it was, but we had the whole open space to ourselves that 4 servants would have had to share as separate compartments. There was attention to detail and recognition of the comfort needed by travellers living out of a suitcase. Plenty of condiments and food if we had needed it. More than sufficient crockery and equipment to allow us to cook etc. Having a washing machine was very welcome after travelling already for 7 days. Such a quiet and peaceful setting. Lesley showed us a few of her 300goats who enthusiastically ate from our hands and were delighted to be stroked and fussed over. Lesley was so helpful and guided us to what to see in the area. If you are a birder as my husband is you will enjoy Lake Ellesmere- which is vast. The bird life is incredible. Sadly we didn't see the elusive bitten. But the microworld of frogs in the abandoned world was a delightful find. Wish we could have stayed longer. If we are back in NZ this is a definite must for us to stay again.
