Annemarie is a lovely host who truly makes you feel welcome in her beautiful home. She is open and chatty and easy to get along with. She was very kind in letting us bring our 4 month old baby to stay as well and she was just a delight in her interactions with him. Her home & garden is well kept and is a snapshot in time of colonial New Zealand and the kiwi dream of the 1/4 acre section! If you don't require privacy of your own ensuite & kitchen then Annemarie's place is excellent value & is accessible to all Ashburton has to offer.
