Gail & Brendon welcome you to share their lovely modern architecturally designed home furnished in an eclectic way. They have had several trips to France and have collected some treasures that give the house a lovely feel. We love entertaining and enjoy having family & friends to stay. We see this as a unique opportunity for other people to enjoy our home and we look forward to sharing it with you. We both enjoy travel and exploring new countries, experiencing different food & cultures. Meeting new people from around New Zealand and around the world is something we look forward to.
