Summary: This was a wonderful place for eleven of our family to stay and be able to head up to Mt. Hutt to ski. The Shearers Quarters is very well set up for sleeping and communal areas. As it was really cold we spent most of our time indoors when not skiing or hiking so could not enjoy what looked to be a lovely outdoor area and garden.Although quite close to the main home we were completely private. Liz popped in to say hello on the first night to make sure all was well. She was happy to text with walking suggestions and information. All in all a wonderful spot for a family holiday. Age range 5 - 75.
