From Sharon's warm welcome till our reluctant departure, we felt comfortable and "at home". The hosts live upstairs and are available if required. The size of this residence is surprising, and the quality of the fit-out extremely high. The photos and description under-call what is on offer. Chilled sparkling wine and welcome note on arrival, picturesque views of the bay from every room, plenty of space inside and out.....and that spa! The five hours drive from Christchurch via the Inland route was long but beautiful. Sipping bubbly in the spa as jets massaged my back and we took in the sunset over snow-capped mountains was sublime. We heartily recommend Sharon's home and can't wait to return.
