Garden House Farmstay was just what we needed: a cosy and peaceful place to rest and from which to explore the beautiful Banks Peninsula. We only stayed 2 nights but wish we’d had time for longer. Charlotte and Sam were extremely welcoming and kind. Their little garden cottage has been converted into a small but neat and tidy refuge for visitors. And what an amazing view, which costs nothing but is priceless. The hosts were generous with their welcome pack of food and coffee/tea ingredients. Our daughter reckoned that although it’s the smallest AirBnB we’ve stayed in it was the best - maybe because she had freely given access to the pet lambs, ponies, cat, dog and horse. When our car wouldn’t start at our planned departure time Charlotte was so kind in allowing us to hang around to get it organised, even though she had more guests arriving that night. Thanks again for your hospitality. Martin and Sherie Davies
