Ross’s place was large, comfortable and noticeably well designed and constructed. The location is a suburban location close to town but the beautiful gardens, flowers and the view particularly of the snow-capped mountains made it feel like a rural setting. We only stayed one night but as soon as I saw it, I wish we had booked a longer stay. Ross was energetic and friendly, and we talked at length about New Zealand and the local area. He gave us lots of useful information. We were only there for a short time but did get a look around Caroline bay which was lovely.
