Our stay with Sharon and Peter is one of our best memories from our monthlong stay in New Zealand. When we drove up to their property, we couldn't believe how beautiful it was. We passed by rows and rows of cherry trees before we finally arrived to the studio apartment. The apartment was perfect-clean, nice layout, well-decorated-and Peter and Sharon welcomed us with little treats like fresh eggs from their chickens, cherries from their orchard, and fresh flowers from their garden.
The location is great. It's near the gold mining centre which is lots of fun, it's a short 10-min drive into Cromwell, and 30-min from Arrowtown. Also, it's in a cherry orchard, so my husband and I had fun wandering around tasting the different varieties of cherries. The apartment has a portable stove and utensils, so we were also able to cook and relax comfortably.
Sharon and Peter are very warm and interesting people and we enjoyed them very much. They were also available if we needed anything and helped us with our questions. The internet connection was slow at times, but we were still able to get the important stuff done. We highly recommend our hosts and this place-the place they've built for themselves and their guests feels almost magical!
