Barbara made our arrival very easy, even swept the carport for us! Ben Lomond is superb, we knew we were going into a heritage home, but the period charm of this house is fantastic. So much history. Barbara made sure that we were comfortable and well fed. We decided that we would walk into Napier, and the climb back to Ben Lomond is not for the faint hearted, but well worth the effort. Just to make sure that we found our way back, a Union Jack was hoisted on the rooftop flagpole to guide us home...... Thank you Barbara for a wonderful stay.
