Think of all the luxuries and qualities of a 6 star hotel with the love and warmth of staying with family. That is staying with Kathleen & John. We ended a magical 2 week trip around NZ, with a very short stay at Kathleen & John’s Chestnut Cottage. The space was luxurious in every way. The view of the gardens and farms were so spectacular you forgot to breathe. And of course Kathleen & John are the kindest, gracious hosts that make you want to stay forever. From a warm personal welcome, to fresh baked scones and jams and fruit we felt so relaxed and welcomed. I could go on for days.. but the bottom line is my husband and I cannot WAIT to stay with Kathleen & John again and again and again! xo
