It's hard to come up with words to describe our stay at the Arty Barn and Sue as a host that haven't already been used in previous reviews, but let's try. We have stayed in some wonderful places in New Zealand found via Airbnb but was the ultimate. A beautiful cottage set in superb grounds alongside the magnificence of Lake Wakatipu. The barn reflects Sue's un-doubted artistic eye and is beautifully presented. As for Sue... she is simply lovely and genuinely committed to her guests having the best possible experience. She was very tolerant of my less than perfect communication and made sure everything was ready for us despite being away on the day of our arrival. This was the perfect end to our New Zealand adventure (for the moment!) and we are really grateful to Sue for going beyond the typical NZ hospitality.
