We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Shona's place the setting and gardens are just beautiful and we loved watching the bird life. I don't see the parrots in the south island so it was a real treat to see them playing in the garden. The apartment is very well set up and beautifully decorated, kitchen has everything you need to prepare food. I loved that there was a hair dryer available to use aswell. A very private location as well. We definitely recommend Shona's accommodation to others and look forward to another stay some time again in future.
