Thanks Carol - we had a fantastic midwinter break at Rothschild House - lovely reading the background to how the land came into the family, and all the great times you had there growing up. Such a welcoming home, it worked so well for us, the boys and our dog. We had some great mountain biking - in spite of the wet conditions, and had a fun day in Nelson catching up with friends. Some lovely sunny days too - the view is just glorious - and the sunrises so beautiful! Great base for exploring the Sounds from.
We'd love to come back with friends sometime - some of the other things we loved about staying here - it has an easy kitchen to work in, which is well stocked, so many lovely pottery pieces that are out to be used - it feels a privilege to stay here, and we got the impression that those who have stayed before were also respectful of the open trusting, attitude you have toward visitors. It has a genuine NZ bach feel to it - having grown up holidaying in our seaside family bach in the 70s, I felt nostalgic staying here!
It was a house we felt very at home in, thank you so much for letting us stay.
