The photos don’t do this place justice - John and Marilyn’s house is like an Italian villa tucked into the New Zealand landscape! We loved the views from the hot tub and found the place incredibly comfortable, particularly the bed. Being able to walk a few metres to our own private wine tasting (at the cellar door) was also a plus - as was getting a visit from Gandalf, the very friendly dog! Thanks for having us - we’ll be back
