We booked our stay incredibly last minute but Mary was very welcoming in every way! She had a group of friends over and we felt completely at ease to join in or relax in our own space. She kindly let us use a spare room to pop our bub so we could rest a little easier. Mary and Tim were also very knowledgeable about places to visit in NZ which helped refine a few of our plans. Incredible hospitality! The rooms were super comfy, bathrooms spotless, and we had a great rest. The view from the ranch is ridiculous and the oranges from around the property are something else. Special mention to Sammy, the needy big dog, and Tom, the affectionate yet independent terrier. Mutually enjoyed pats and cuddles for both :)
