True NZ country hospitality!! Julie is the friendliest and most generous host we have ever come across. Shear-Vue was full of nice little surprises including home baked biscuits on arrival and some lovely home baked muffins. Julie greeted us on arrival and took us around their farm to meet the animals and see the work going on. Our son loved the farm tour very much and enjoyed feeding Molly the pig, collecting eggs and feeding the lambs. Extra little thoughts were everywhere from boxes of toys, gum boots provided, to fresh eggs and lots of breakfast choices provided for in the well stocked kitchen. This is particularly appreciated when doing a road trip and carting food around the countryside isn’t practical. A relaxing dinner on the deck overlooking the paddocks, followed by a soak in the hot tub made for a perfect way to wind down at the end of the day.
