Jill's farmhouse is a MUST-GO! I loved her space and how we are with nature - surrounded by the beautiful animals + the space at Jill's! Jill came out to greet us and very kindly provided a walk-through of her apartment, so also very kindly encouraged us to explore her compound and to visit her animals - horses, cows, sheep, chickens; and her vegetable garden that she so lovingly done up!
Our stay there was homely, comfortable and super pleasant - Jill also very kindly provided breakfast for us in our two days there - breads + spreads + yogurt + juice; a pity we couldn't finish them all! If her chickens were laying eggs, she'd have offered some fresh eggs too! We love waking up t the birds singing + cows moo-ing, it was a chorale from nature!
West Melton is a great location to be in, 30mins from Christchurch city centre but yet surrounded still with the glory of NZ. So i really liked it there! When in West Melton remember to also visit Les Delices for her amazing bread and pastries + Two Fat Possums for amazing food!!
thank you Jill once again for your kind hospitality!
