Sonya's place is absolutely lovely - the house, the orchard, the rolling hills surrounding it, are all beautiful. It is wonderfully peaceful - the perfect getaway. The house is large, clean, comfortable, and light filled, with a huge garden, great for adults and/or kids. The kitchen (and house as a whole) is well equipped. The surrounding countryside is lovely and there are various towns, day (and multi day) walks to visit. Day trips can be made to Dunedin and Otago peninsula (we did this, it was fab), and also wineries on the way to Queenstown etc. I highly recommend this place!
