Really idyllic please, so private, quiet, stylish, surrounded by nature, house and wild animals. We made friends with the dog, the cat and the horse, we played in the yard, too bad the weather didn't allow for swimming in the awesome pool! We had daily hawk, birds, sheep shows right outside our window. Took some lovely day trips to Arthur's Pass and a couple waterfalls around. Lots of geocaching, wish we had time for more! We stayed a week and we would've stayed longer if the wifi was better. It was ok for communication but not for serious online work which we had to do. All in all, wonderful experience and highly recommend the place! Ahhh... loved the home made gem!
