About the host
Hosted by DenisHa2
We have lived on our property since we married in 1968.
The bushman's cottage, or The Little Cottage, is in our garden.
Denis is a retired lawyer and Margie is a retired Speech and Drama teacher.
Denis grew up on a farm in Elsthorpe, Central Hawkes Bay, whereas Margie grew up in Wellington, Christchurch and Opunake in Taranaki.
We have always loved renovating old houses and saving our New Zealand heritage.

What makes this property unique
Handy to village, walking and bike trails and wineries. Free bikes.
Being set in a garden means guests are surrounded by birdsong. Sometimes our donkeys, Humphrey and Winston, will call out too. They love a carrot.
On request guests can walk around our garden or borrow tennis racquets for a game on our grass court. It's not Wimbledon standard but lots of fun.
