Dear Sharon and Peter,
Our stay at cherry farm guest house was one amazing experience for us and our toddler. The hospitality that you both gave us was first class.
The beautiful fresh fruit, the vegetables and the lovely fresh eggs you shared with us all made our visit even more worthwhile.
The cottage was very clean, modern and it had all the amenities we needed. The modern gas bbq came in handy as we love this way of cooking when the sun is out. There is a nice garden table and benches that we sat at whilst we chewed into steaks and sausages whilst enjoying the sunshine and the views of the beautifully kept flower gardens and the orchard. This same table was used for stargazing. There is very little light pollution in this area which makes it ideal for capturing the milkyway. If you don’t have a tripod for your camera simply place the camera on the bench - use some books under the edges of the camera to adjust the tilt of the camera. On our Nikon camera we used a 30 second shutter speed with an aperture of 4 and ISO of 10,000. What we captured was mesmerising!
Surrounded by the hills this orchard is like no other. Our toddler loved riding the small blue bicycle in the orchard looking for juicy sweet cherries.
Peter was kind enough to take me fishing. Although we didn’t catch anything that evening it was a pleasant experience and I wish I had time to go again.
We stayed at the cottage for a week while we explored the South Island and Cromwell is very central for visiting many places - wanaka and Queenstown in particular.
Thank you once again and no doubt we will be back.
Sharon and Mira
