This is a wonderful place full of things both beautiful and touchingly familiar. For a lover of old and well-loved treasures like me, Michael's guest house was the perfect place to stop on my road trip around the South Island. Because I slipped in late and night and was gone in the morning, I didn't see Michael, but he made me feel welcome nonetheless with his texts and notes, the heater was on and fresh bread, coffee and eggs were waiting. I loved it all - thank you very much.
