    Beautiful house and the decor, board games and vinyl player threw me right back a few years to good memories in my grandparents house. We loved going through the records and selecting some music while playing mastermind. Restaurants and bakehouse...

My husband and I are both retired and we enjoy meeting people and travelling. We have grown up children living in different parts of the world and so a great excuse to pack the bags and head off. We live in Lincoln which is abut 2 1/2 hours drive from Fairlie and we love to escape to this part of the world. The Mackenze country is a magic part of the South Island.
