Well that was an interesting stay over!
We were in the wairau valley for the annual community art opening exhibition so we booked our air b abd b for convenience as it was just round the corner from the venue.
It was as if Tina was waiting for us. She settled us in and then she showed us around the place as in fact where we were staying was the original cob cottage with all the modern day amenities thrown in.
Although just set back off the main highway it was no matter as we slept soundly in the comfortable bed . The local voluntary fire association’s alarm briefly tipped us awake in the middle of the night but apart from wondering what was happening to whom, we were soon fast asleep .
Tina was an exhibitor herself so we went to the exhibition and in fact she waved us off this morning ready set to go and spend the day with her fellow artists collectively showing their works . You will see some of her art about the place.
Tina has an interesting personna of fact her autobiographical book is on the shelf ready to delve into .
Her dogs are friendly as is she.
You will enjoy your time here.
