Fantastic family get together

The family had to get together for a family members funeral, and what was a very sad occasion was made so much easier by the space and facility provided. We would love to come back enjoy again under much happier circumstances.

Just what we needed, thank you.

We had a group of five adults staying for one night only as we needed somewhere to rest after the All Blacks game in Wellington. We all wished we had stayed longer as we really enjoyed the short time we had together at Diane's property. It had everything we needed. Thank you for allowing us to check in earlier & for the efficient communication. We hope to stay again soon.

Lovely home to enjoy family

We had members of our family meet from the USA, Thailand, and UK for our fathers 80th birthday. The home is quaint. Gardens are exquisite. Home had everything possible we needed to stay in and cook for a large group. The homeowner was a delight to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
