This was a unique experience for us. Helen was delightful and has made this old historic home very special with all her wonderful touches and personality. The low ceilings and narrow staircase is not for everyone, and yet to experience this place was such fun. We especially liked the unique bathroom with a rain shower in the center of it. Easy walking distance to the center city with lots of shops and eateries was a bonus. Our trip to Masterton was based on tracing family roots and much to our surprise the home John’s great grandfather had built, the church where his grandparents had married as well as finding tombstones in the old cemetery all within walking distance was quite surprising to us. Helen’s adorable cat, Victoria, welcomed us with sweetness. All in all a great experience!
