We were lucky to have John and Robyn stay with us this season. John is a professional photographer see his link John Foster Photography
Our cottage is in the foreground and house - on a fine day, these are the views of the mountains and glaciers from every room window. We are situated on Greens Road, just far away from the State Highway to feel peace and tranquility. State Highway 6 runs into the village. We are just 5 kms and 5 minutes drive away from the conveniences of the village.
Julie and Jonathan call their Bed and Breakfast Ribbonwood Retreat after the Ribbonwood tree that grows near their home. Once common these trees are now in decline. We have planted Ribbonwoods and many other trees to attract native birds back to our garden. Maori Proverb: If you cut the heart of the flax bush, where will the bellbird sing?
