Beautiful and peaceful with architectural details symbolic of a settlement home made grand thru the loving hands of both Adrian and Maggie. Greeted warmly and made to feel welcomed as if I were visiting an Aunt and Uncle in New Zealand. Helpful with local information and knowledge. This would be a great home base if I were only able to... More

Maggie and Adrian's house is a lovely place to stay in one of the most beautiful locations on the South Island, but not many people get as far as Collingwood so not many people know that.

Had stayed here briefly in 2004 and liked it so much we returned for a full week in December 2008. As before the room was delightful and the hosts, Maggie and Adrian, were most accommodating. Anticipating that we would have difficulty finding any dining options open on Christmas day, they graciously invited us to share Christmas dinner with them in... More
