After all the rain that has bucketed down in the headwaters of Mt Aspiring National Park, Lake Wanaka has risen dramatically over the last 24hours.I popped down to the lake to get a couple of pictures to let you see the lake.

Trip to Egypt and Jordan

noreply@blogger.com (Renmore House) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:12:00 +0000

Blair and I have just returned from a great holiday in Egypt and Jordan. What an amazing privelage to experience such different cultures to our own and to push our comfort zones to the limit. The ancient tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the Pyramids, riding camels, deepsea diving, climbing Mt Sinea and Petra at night were some of the highlights we will never forget. Coming from 40 down to -1 degrees on our return home to Lake Wanaka was a shock but one to adjust to quickly as the countdown is on for the Winter Games NZ starting on the 21st August

Web site updated to reflect changes...

As we've recently refurbished many rooms and completed our outside dining area, we've just finished making changes to this site as well. There are many new photos [our treasured garden keeps growing!] and changes to text notably Guest's comments, links to recommended stays elsewhere in New Zealand, and that we now have wireless Internet and a double inflatable kayak.

Once again we've witnessed nice autumn colours - they're still about too, and we now have a very good early winter snow cover on the hill, which bodes well for an excellent ski season around Wanaka
