My stay at this vista guesthouse was a welcome retreat after a long day of travels. I enjoyed the alpaca greeting at the property entrance, the welcome from the cow neighbors, and a gentle morning awakening by a nearby rooster. Catherine was a wonderful host and really made me feel welcome with her personal communications and generous touches in the guesthouse. The view was spectacular and I was treated with a majestic sunset while I stoked the fire to warm the Alpine Tub for an evening soak before bed. I left feeling relaxed and ready to continue my New Zealand adventures.
