My family and I absolutely loved Tim's and Jan's place! It's truly beautiful and spectacular.

1. Stunning modern farm house - - rural setting surrounded with a 360 degree view of mountains from all rooms, with amenities like bath tub, TV, DVD, dishwasher, washing machine, et al.
2. Kids loved the horse, sheep, hen and the dogs. They loved the tree-house that Tim has built for his kids, the wagon, bird-house, fish pond, rose bushes, hill to run up and down, garden in the front, swings, camper van, et al.
3. Tim graciously showed us all his tool shed and the boats that he has painstakingly built. My sons were fascinated enough to ask to stay over for an entire month in the summer and learn from Tim!
4. We changed our travel plans and found this place last minute and Jan had it all ready when we arrived - they had cleaned it up shortly after the last set of guests left. Very flexible and accommodating couple.
5. I loved the old photographs in the house - it gave us a sense of history and belonging and an insight into our lovely hosts' family.
6. Tim's tips on places to visit around Queenstown were perfect for our family - we loved the scenic routes that he suggested.
It was our privilege to stay with a host and house that gave us great insight into semi-rural life in NZ. Tim is talented with many skills (design/ building/ tools/ boats/ shotover jet driver/ awesome with animals) and we all loved our stay very much.
