Most feedback we receive is in words. The image on the right is a unique visual impression of New Zealand as seen through the eyes of one of our guests.

'Stones from New Zealand'  was created by figurative sculpture artist Sheila Oettinger from Evanston, Illinois after a week exploring the South Island of New Zealand with us in January 2006. The stones were collected from beaches and river beds on the West Coast of the South Island.

"  I just wanted to take the time to let you know that our trip to NZ was fantastic and it started that way because of you and Murray Roberts.  I can't tell you enough how great Murray was.  From the moment he picked us up at the airport to the minute he dropped us off, he was so informative, friendly and more importantly "FUN".  Yes it's true, everyone we met in NZ were friendly, but it was such a relief to get off the plane and find someone who was so kind and seemingly excited for us to have a great time in a great country.  If we had our way, we would of had Murray drive us around for the rest of trip.  Unfortunately the budget always seems to get in the way.

Thanks for setting us up with Murray and planning our great day.  Everything was flawless.  It was a terrific day of Whale Watching and Wine Tasting.  I will definitely recommend you and your company.  I knew I was in good hands the moment I emailed you and you responded so quickly.  
Thanks again for starting our vacation on a great note. "

T G - U.S.A.

" I just wanted to say thanks for a great trip out to Waipara today.  You really looked after us, and we were made to feel special throughout the day.

If there's anything I can do in terms of providing a testimonial or recommending your company to any sort of tourist association then just let me know and I will gladly provide it.

Thanks again for all your help..... "

" .... A couple of things I want to add. Lyndal (the driver in Christchurch) was fantastic! Everyone in my family loved her! She was very informative and chatted the entire way with us to Akaroa - we really wished we could have taken her with us! I can't say enough good things about her. She is a fabulous driver, but also a wonderfully warm person..... "

" Remember us? We spent a delightful day and a half with you last month during our visit to Christchurch. I just wanted to say thank you for helping to make our stay so memorable and to tell you that we hauled that bottle of wine 10,000 miles without it breaking. Talk about a miracle. We drank it last week and of course, enjoyed it immensely. It just brought back all the memories of this remarkable trip."
