Testimonials	We are back in Oz and I just wanted to thank you for your hospitality last Saturday/Sunday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you. Your property is beautifully laid out and it is a pleasure to look out at the lovely gardens and enjoy the peace and tranquillity that it offers. We have taken with us some photos which we look forward to sharing with family and friends and we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone travelling through your area. Meeting and chatting with you was a pleasure and we certainly do appreciate your good old Kiwi hospitality. New Zealand is one of our favourite places to travel and it is largely due to your sort of friendliness and hospitality that we are drawn back there time and again. Chris, Narisa, Rebecca & Kieran - Australia Thanks to Carmel and Ferg for a blissful time! A wonderful outdoor bubble bath, watching the sunset through the trees with their autumn leaves, a starlit spa and a dreamy sleep in the delicious bed. All finished off with a scrumptious breakfast. Mmmmm... Paula and Graeme - New Zealand Cheers for a perfect restful stay! Awesome setting and Carmel and Ferg made us feel very welcome! Awesome gourmet breakfast!!. Great start to the day. Good luck with all the ventures and hope to see you again one day. Suze and Chris Gorman - England The food, surroundings and hospitality were all beyond any expectation. Will be back again soon. Megan and Darryn - New Zealand This is a lovely restful place - it promised much and delivered more - we'd love to return to see the garden in its seasons. James Norcliffe - New Zealand Many thanks for a wonderful friendly stay. All the best for the future. Colin Boyles and Allison Thomson - New Zealand. What a gorgeous place you have and it was real paradise for Amy as she said "I've never been in an outside spa before" and "I've never had chocolate pancakes for breakfast!!"
