Mary is an absolute treasure. This wasn't just another place to stay, it was a meaningful and profound experience. Mary's years and years of hosting people shows with her genuine curiosity and she's so generous when she listens - not merely waiting for the first opportunity to jump in.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was actually grateful that my other plans fell through and I got to spend all my time at the surprisingly large and cosy Clovelly Cottage. I didn't even get to look around Akaroa in the end!
Thanks aren't enough Mary.
You're so precious
