we stayed for 1 night en route from kaikoura to tekapo. Annemarie was a genial host & we spent a very nice evening together. The house is 100 years old, looks like a colonial building & has some Victorian features such as the fireplaces. The bed was old but firm & we slept well. Annemarie's house wouldn't be the thing for someone who likes modern places but we liked it. We had a nice breakfast on the verandah in the middle of her English country garden, with butterflies floating round.
