Accommodation will be in our house or in one of the farm cottages.
People will either eat with us, or if living in one of the farm cottages, will cook for themselves. We enjoy eating lamb and beef, so would be advantageous if people coming to us, also enjoyed meat.
We live 25 minutes from the small rural town of Geraldine and an hour from Timaru and Ashburton and two hours from Christchurch. There is much to do in the area with time off.Own transport would be advisable given our rural location
