The special welcoming touches in this house were very much appreciated. The views from the home are gorgeous and the house itself is just beautiful. They have everything you would ever need to cook and the kitchen is very functional. All the living spaces are roomy and comfortable. If you have any questions at all, they answer immediately. Also, it is very close to the Clutha Gold trail, if you want to do that. This may have been our favorite house during our vacation in New Zealand. We did not want to leave.
