Hi, I am Ella, married to Guy. We emigrated from Holland to New Zealand in 2002 . We now live in the most beautiful part of New Zealand, The Catlins.If you love nature and don't mind being away from busy city life, then this is it. Catlins is only new on the map since 2016 and there is a lot to explore. So, don't forget your camera and good quality walking gear. You'll love nature's variety here.
Guy and Ella both live on the property, Guy repairing and handling stock, Ella busy creating. And started being active in the hospitality industry since 2003.

Hi Maria
At the moment I have guests from Auckland .
They are truly lovely and lovable .
One more couple in Februari and one more in March.
Our boarders are closed. National travel is being encouraged by the government. A new movement.
A new era has begun. It is different .
We have to find a new way of attracting visitors from within our own country I think. We have lots of different nationalities here. They start exploring their "backyard".
Here down south in rural areas our shops are not opened as late compared to big cities. My guests were planning to have late dinner , but restaurants and shops closed by 7.30 ..glad I still had some food in my fridge for them...
I think in summer our shops and restaurants should be open longer at night down South.
That is a lovely interview Maria. Well done for being such an exceptional host.
You are truly inspirational with not one bad word coming from your mouth. God bless you.
Greetings,
Aaltje B.
The previous message tells us it could be mid January... so won't be long.
Let's wait and see
The admin team will probably keep you posted what is happening soon.
Have a lovely day

If there is rain then there is wind .
Open all windows to make the viruses blow away !
This virus hates wind !!
Enjoy the wind , the rain and then the sunshine again.
It is perennial , it looks like a wavy wide skirt blown by the wind, haha
They are very fine flowers and have seen them in white and blue's purple .
They will survive some frost but not too much.
A garden centre may sell them or a garden friend may want to share.
Is it still raining there near your guesthouse ?
Scabiosa Alba

I am mending overalls .
Saves big bucks ?
