Pets: Boz, our ambassador, Border Collie
We are fun loving people who enjoy fine wine and food, travelling, nature, crafts, cars, gardening and will try most new things in general. Boz, our Border Collie, just turned 6 years old, who just loves meeting and greeting all our guests. We enjoy traveling, whether in New Zealand or abroad. Have lived in Europe for 2 1/2 years previously especially in Portugal and Germany and still have a hankering to travel. Our ideal destination would be a combination of Portugal, Asia, Morroco, Turkey and the South Sea islands and Australia. We don't really have a style of what type of accommodation we stay at but like to think our home is a combination of all the good things that we enjoyed away, which is of course good hosts and very comfortable and clean rooms with a view. Our home is a place for peace and quiet, lounging about and just relaxing for a while. A space where you can find a quiet spot, either in the gazebo at the front or the Meditation gazebo out the back to reflect and enjoy with good food and wine a must. Our motto is see and do as much as you can today as tomorrow never happens.
