We arrived late at Gooseberry hill studio as our flight was cancelled and we had to bus down from Auckland. Keri was very accomodating and was waiting for us to move in. The bedroom is very homely with a very comfy bed and bookcase with lots of books. There is a wardrobe for the storage of your clothing. There is lots of choice in pillows and there is a little fan. The day room is big and has basic cooking facilities a fridge and a great view of the Pohutekawa tree.
The spaces are decorated with Keri’s art, I really liked Keri’s-paintings and bought two small paintings which were very reasonably priced. We loved the animals, beautiful chickens roaming the property, Nomad and Jacks the dogs and Rita the cat visiting to say hello. We fell in love with Jacks who loved to spent time with us, by nightfall chickens disappear into the trees. It is a lovely restful spot where we came to rest. If we had questions Keri would quickly respond, and was able to advice us on trips restaurants and walks.The pool was an added bonus, a nice refreshing swim in the pool was great. Keri can also provide breakfast which is really nice and tasty.
It is a beautiful spot to relax and rest, has a great feel and we will definitely come back.
