Annemarie is an wonderful host who really knows how to make you feel welcome. Visiting her was like visiting one of your old friends. She made us tea when we got there, drove us to the grocery store to get what we needed, and even made us dinner. Our room was comfortable and warm. She gave me hot water bottle because I am super bad at standing cold which made me sleep really well. We enjoyed chatting with her in front of the fireplace until late and having cheese and crackers. She gave us a lot of helpful information about traveling in NZ and shared her life and stories with us. Her cat Possum is as friendly as her. I just can't tell you enough how much I love Annemarie and Possum. They are extremely awesome. Thank you for letting us stay with you!
