Guest feedback	"We had 2 wonderful days with Alison and Scott in their beautiful bungalow; their welcome was warm and genuine. Our bedroom and ensuite were spotless and the attention to detail was excellent with home made cake and biscuits in our room. Our evening meals with them were very jolly and all the food was delicious. We left feeling totally relaxed and will definitely recommend Ashpit Place to friends visiting that area of New Zealand."
