We have just returned from a 2 week stay at Rosie and Miles' beautiful house and grounds. Everything was perfect and wonderful and nothing was needed during our entire stay. The house was spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a perfect vacation. Lovely and contemporary open plan ground floor with full kitchen, island with high stools, and a comfy lounge with tv and Bose audio system. Sliding glass doors out to the full decking with the most breathtaking views over the 10 acres of land and over to the Remarkables. We sat on the decking for countless hours just soaking up the view and sipping on a glass or two of New Zealand's Otago regions fantastic wines. Up the stairs to the 2 gorgeous double bedrooms: fresh crisp linens, comfy bed and even electric blanket for those cooler nights. A large bathroom with rain shower, heated mirror, and views to the pastures below and beyond... no need to draw the blind as you are not looked over (perhaps the passing sheep: do not feed!). Again the views! I don't have enough words to describe it! Rosie and Miles are just the most fabulous, lovely hosts who live just next door. They are never intrusive but available if you have any questions etc. Although we were terribly sad to leave Barley Mow, we know we will be back once again. Barley Mow is approx 10 min drive to Queenstown and therefore a rental car is recommended. A couple's retreat it is! Don't hesitate to book! ... and if you do, please give Rosie and Miles a hug from us xxx
