| Kerry & Dawson, Can’t believe they are letting me have the first space! How can I believe we are leaving this amazing place behind. I definitely feel that I have met amazing friends in you and hope you feel the same. I cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful times we had here. It has been an honour to be the first to share this new adventure with you and is great to see all your hard work paying off. It is with great sadness that I leave Fernhill behind (especially you mummy) I have truly felt like I was at home here and I know nowhere else will even come remotely close to the comfort, friendship and kindness we have found here. I promise to stay in touch and would be gutted if I didn’t get back to see the place before I leave (if I leave!). Thanks for all the extra-special experiences you have given to us, I could never express fully my gratitude to you or my happiness at being here for the last two months. I would happily do it again (perhaps not walking into the windowpane Kerry!) so I will take the photo’s and the scars!?! And remember you fondly always. Hope the microwave returns to normal now… em Declan! And you have enough money to replace all the glasses! Until we meet again (already looking forward to it) take care of yourselves, remember to take time off Kerry! Love ya loads Tereesa Dec 13th –Feb 17th –2004-2005 |
| Thanks very much for your hospitality! I’m sure the Farmhouse Lodge will be a success!!!! Such a nice place. From Chile best regards! Sebastiano Fresno, Chile |
| Dear Dawson, Kerry and Terry, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at your most beautiful lodge. What makes it to a really special house for me is the familiar atmosphere. That you knew my name from the beginning and that you were so reachable, made me quickly feel at home. Now, when I leave after 5 weeks, it seems to me that I say goodbye to good friends. An immensely big thank you for all the small and bigger hands you gave me. And an even bigger thank you for the dinner and the highly adventurous trip! All the very best for your future, Christine Pohl, Switserland |
| Dear Kerry and Dawson, The last 10 weeks were pretty hard but you sure made them a lot more pleasant than they were. This was the only place so far (except my hometown in Israel) I really felt like home and I feel really lucky to get here. I really hope that this place will succeed and draw more good people just as those that I met here. In this hard time I will always see the Farmhouse Lodge as a ray of light. So, goodbye and thanks for all!!!! Igor |
| Al tough it was only a short time, I have many great memories. I never forget the time I spent with all the lovely people here. I really enjoyed the venison and other various foods from Dawson, thanks! I wish the best of luck for both of you and once again, thank you very much! Minjung , Korea 23 April 2005 |
| Dear Kerry and Dawson, I can only say in one word…Thank u! After 14 hours work every day (almost) it was heaven to come back to this wonderful lodge. U make this lodge different from all the others because of your amazing management and the behaviour… Warm and carefully. Kerry you are the queen! U show me the other side of the new Zealand women’s One word - amazing! Your kindness give to this lodge great effect… Thank you again, because of you I leave New Zealand with a great feeling Wish you all the best Smodar, Israel |
| Dawson, Kerry and Terry, Thanks for everything. I had a great time! Relax and take it easy Russell, New Zealand |
| Dear Kerry and Dawson, When we first arrived in New Zealand we had a hard time getting along here, but as soon as we got to this place everything changed for the best. Thank you very much for all your help, all the fun activities, and there’s not enough space to write it all down. Kerry, you should write your name whit a ‘C’, it will suit you well because you’re the woman who takes care of everything and everyone. Dawson, thanks for taking photo’s all the time so we could always look back at and remember this wonderful experience! It was a pleasure staying here and after two months we can honestly say it’s like leaving home… Thank you again, take care. Lots of love and kisses Ariel & Debby, Israel |
