Chris & Malvina Yurk, Sydney, Australia         16/01/10

"Thank you for a lovely visit.  It's like coming to heaven; arriving and enjoying a loving, warm welcome and presented with a huge room with a spectacular view - especially when you are dead tired after a long drive from Wanaka.  We also really enjoyed your tips for local scenery and places to go.  Quite amazed that you had small routes planned for us.  All in all - a place we really would recommend others, and hope to come back some day for more relaxing time."

Loving regards Lene and Erik, Sweden             15/01/10

"Jan, we had a wonderful time!  You were a terrific guide, your directions were unfailingly correct - goldmines, coalmines, tropical forests, coastal walks, you sent us into the right places at the right time and even delivered some sun!  Our first dinner was elegant - thanks to Steve!, and our breakfasts were pleasant.  Steve's photographs were superb.  Again thanks!"
