From the moment I stepped through the door, I was warmly welcomed by Mark who took the trouble and time to show me around the neighbourhood and help with me with transport routes into town. The room was spacious, clean and cool in the summer heat. The bed was roomy and the shower was fantastic. Mark and Annette are wonderful hosts who are always keen for a natter about the day's activities without impinging on their guests' space. Their house is beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped for cooking or relaxing with a book. Despite being at a really boring conference in town, I was very happy to return to the Finch sanctuary every night.
