Trudiebeth went out of her way to make our first impression of New Zealand amazingly beautiful! She greeted us at the door to her lovely home with a welcome hug, fresh fruit picked from trees on her property, showed us around and filled us with information on activities, places to eat, kiwi trivia, etc., etc. she patiently addressed our barrage of newcomer questions and continued to make herself available to us for further questions throughout our stay. Trudibeth's home is in short walking distance to town for easy access to cafes and shops and also an easy walk to Cathedral Cove. Warning, you may not want to leave once you settle in at Trudiebeth's... the sunroom, outdoor deck and family room are lovely spots to enjoy the ocean view with sunlight streaming in. Trudiebeth's artistic touches on everything from her beautifully handwritten notes to the pottery bathroom sink leave a heartwarming impression of New Zealand! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Trudiebeth!
