We have traveled to many countries and only a few times have we experienced such hospitality as that of Kerri and Graham. We have two girls (8 and 5) and they loved the place, the farm animals, the dogs, the toys (lots of them) and the DVD movies. For the parents, you have a beautiful garden, in the middle of several sheep farms, with a great view of the mountains, a bbq grill, you can have a fire outside and the distribution of the cottage is perfect. Also, best hot shower you can get in the South Island. They also provide several amenities that make you feel really welcome. If I knew all this before hand, I would have booked a couple of days there at least.
