Michael's Bookbinder's Retreat was total enchantment and a marvelous Oamaru experience. Our room was a lovely space, taking us back in time, and comforting us with old world pleasures. Michael was welcoming and so enjoyable to talk with. We got a look at Oamaru life and the life of crafts people. He is a wonderful story teller and a very warm and gracious person. We could've sat for hours listening and sharing stories.
