Drew and Susie Barlow like to feel they offer more than just the accommodation and service expected in any quality establishment.

We have two teenage boys, now 16 and 18, who do their best to keep us young!  We also enjoy gardening, travel, sailing, walking, and cooking, but most of all living in New Zealand and welcoming visitors to our home. We can guide you to the best spots to go tramping, swimming, diving, shopping, dining out, or whatever it is you are interested in.

Drew is a 5th generation Kiwi, returned from many years in Northern Nigeria and England. Susie is from Norfolk and has worked in Sudan. They met in Nigeria in 1983 after they had each, separately, travelled across the Sahara.

Between them they have lived, worked and travelled extensively in Africa, India, North America and Europe and, you may have guessed, are fond of animals (…and photography...).
