Daralyn and Gary are amazing hosts and people. First thing Gary said to me when I walked in, "Can I get you a beer, or some wine?". Yes, yes you can. They provided me a mix of beer/wine for the night and then made an amazing breakfast for me the next morning. All this way way above and beyond what I expected. Really nice people that provided solid tips for me too (Castle Hill was spectacular!). House was clean, great room and bathroom.
Perfect location if you want to see Mount Sunday (Edoras/Rohan from LoTR) and Helm's Deep. I was able to see both those, and do Arthurs Pass in day after my stay thanks to the ideal location.
Would stay with Daralyn and Gary again in a heartbeat.
