We traveled in New Zealand for a month with another couple enjoying some of NZ's best B and B's and small inns. This was one of our favorites. Nettie, Bill and Jane are all wonderful hosts. They provide the much appreciated opportunity to visit with them and learn more about the area while offering well designed accommodations with complete privacy.... More

Hot tub was a winner with us all and the hospitality was excellent. Thanks Jane and Nettie for your welcoming experience. More

One night Jane prepared a platter for... More

We had booked 2 nights at Straw Lodge, as a base to discover the wineries in Marlborough. It is more expensive than what we are used to pay (350 NZ$), but it is well worth it. First, because you actually are ON a vineyard. You will even be invited to taste the wine on the night of your arrival. Second,... More
