Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mary and Jim
Mary and Jim moved to Woodbury after running their guest lodge in Twizel for ten years. They both come from a teaching background. JIm is 'retired' and Mary is currently a private literacy tutor. They both taught in Invercargill for many years, where Mary grew up, moving to Twizel for a change of lifestyle and on to Woodbury for its obvious attractions.
Gardening, cooking and music take up much of their time when not at work. Mary and Jim like to keep busy with hosting, family and friends and the small projects connected with their lifestyle.

Why they chose this property
Woodbury has a rural outlook and is handy to the vibrant country town of Geraldine. We have many local activities, a variety of cafes, art galleries and shops. Day and much longer walks in the hills and bush areas are within easy reach. We are an within an easy drive from Christchurch and Timaru.
The village has some historic attractions. The stone built, St Thomas' church is worth a visit. The local cemetery holds the remains of early settlers. The Woodbury Store Cafe, established recently serves excellent meals.

What makes this property unique
The Garden Cottage is recently renovated accommodation situated halfway down our half acre garden. It is a peaceful refuge away from the road where guests are able to stay in comfort and security. Mary and Jim lived there while renovating their house.
