A secluded restful place tucked amongst the native bush where the sound of the tui's song rang through the air and the wood pigeon came to eat berries.
Phil and Lyn's place really did my soul a power of good as it was an authentic glimpse of some of the true beauty of New Zealand.
Lyn is a talented photographer and tried to capture the wood pigeon wobbling on the berry tree . Baci ( the spectacular cat) decided to get in on the fun and gave us both a scare, tottering on the high railing.
Phil is a talented cook and provided me/us with fudge and some other cookies and things. He was very helpful dealing with my car parked up and down the long driveway and carrying my heavy luggage to and from it. Both Lyn and Phil are salt of the earth kind and generous people and very accepting of visitors to their lovely restful home.
A great stay and I would have to say an absolute godsend during an unprecedented time in history....CO VID crisis 2020
