Dear Liz and John and Jordan.
It's difficult to write something that hasn't already been said. Like
everyone who passes through your door we have been made to feel at home
from day one.
Skibo really is a home from home (except you have better views and yummy
sausages).
Despite the lack of snow Greg and I have loved every minute of our
stay....and John thank you for having the patience to answer all our
daft farming and fishing questions
I hope we will see you again
with best wishes
Sarah and Greg

Dear Liz, John,,,, Jordan. Toby and Rose.
It was a real pleasure staying with you in such a comfortable and
pleasant household, so close to the mountains and in a friendly township.
The breakfasts are worth waiting for and the fireplace and friendly
chats are great to come back to after a day of skiing. we recommend the
local walking tracks too
Thanks Glen and Anastasia

Dear Liz and John,
The moment I saw this place (Methven) on the net I fell in love, and when I landed even at Midnight and arrived at Skibo I fell in love all over again. The mountain, the place and most of all the people. Liz and John you are beautiful. Just makes we want to stay here for ever.
Skibo was a home away from home and to say goodbye would be 2 sad, instead I will say see you guys next year, for some more unreal skiing and kind warm hospitality
thank you
Anna

we stayed here before and after staying at Cragieburn. Staying here was more comfortable than being at our real home in Japan.
we had such awesome experience in the ski fields. impressed with the beautiful landscape in NZ. Got relaxed (we didn't have to rush like in Japan)
We wish every visitor at Skibo gets to have lots of fun like we did!
Sept 4th 04
we shall return!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH

Just like being at home--- but better because there is a good fairy to clean up!
skibo is lots of fun, I love the cats and not having to clean up or make our beds...thanks!
