At Paul and Marianne's you will get exactly what is shown in the pictures. a beautiful place which is in a very peaceful and tranquil setting. Inside the kitchen was things ie milk,coffee, tea and a few nibbles. There was also an informative folder letting you know where all the local takeaways, restaurants, the supermaket and where the nearest town was (this being Rangiora a 10 minute drive away) There was also a section giving you the history on Swannanoa and how it came to be, Personally I found this very interesting. Paul and Marianne were very accommodating by allowing my daughter and her family to come over to the property for a meal, my grandaughter loved by able to run around in the field and seeing the cows and the birds. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay and we will definately be back. Thank you both for being wonderful hosts.
