Description
We own a traditional New Zealand villa on 5 acres a few miles from the town of Geraldine which is in South Canterbury in the South Island. Andrew works in the agricultural business and I am now retired but busy with my horse Bramble who I ride regularly. Andrew enjoys playing golf & more than happy to take anyone who plays to the local golf course. We also have a Highland cattle called Gimli and an Alpaca called Bilbo. We have been welcoming guests from all over the world for over 18 years.
