‘We have traveled many countries. I think that this is the best B&B I’ve visited yet. I really loved staying at this B&B. And will be an unforgettable memory for my wife and me. … forever Because we saw many Stars were twinkling in the night sky. Really friendly and helpful owner. The room was very clean and bed was so comfortable. Located by outside Wanaka, but just only 5 min by car.’

'John and Trish are the best hosts we’ve stayed with. We learnt so much about NZ from them and they showed us how much magic you could work on the house. The house is filled with the fresh smell of roses and lavender, all freshly plucked from their gardens. The beds are wonderfully comfortable. Our 7 year old boy was also very intrigued by the cherry picking experience. The house is also located amidst the wonders of NZ nature. Definitely highly recommended!' Diana - December 2017

'Dear John & Trish, Merry Xmas to you and your family. Thanks for receiving us on this holiday n your beautiful house and spoiling us with views, hospitality and luxury. What a view to wake up to. At home we specialize in flat lands. So we are enjoying every vertical metre of this area. The heli-ride to Siberia valley and jet-boat adventure on the Wilkin exceeded all expectations as did the quality of the food at Relishes in Wanaka. Thanks Trish for the tip. We will remember this haven of peace and tranquility.’ Daniel, Joachim & Maarten - Belgium
