Lynne is a warm, friendly host who lives on the most beautiful rural property - the views are stunning and the gardens are lovingly tended. The studio itself could be featured in a lifestyle magazine, as the decor is original and eclectic - this sense of quirky fun also extends into the outdoor areas. Both of these are private, one is a little covered courtyard off the studio and the other is an outdoor setting with umbrella. It's so relaxing to have a glass of wine whilst enjoying the incredible views of sheep and deer grazing the rolling hills with a dramatic distant mountain backdrop. Lynne leaves a continental breakfast outside the studio which gives guests the freedom to eat early if going out on a long trip, or allows for a lie in. Breakfast consists of toast, spreads, cereal, yoghurt and fruit. You will not regret staying at Whare Creek, we had 3 nights and didn't want to leave, thank you so much Lynne!
