The Garden House near Fortrose in Southland, New Zealand

It's our holiday house - in our garden! The former school teacher's house from the nearby village of Fortrose, built in 1938, we brought it here to our sheltered farm garden in 1990 and have treasured the many visitors it has brought us, from wwoofers to paying guests to sons and daughters of our friends worldwide....

About the location

We have a family farm which goes back to the first European settlers.. the Scots who came in 1860s.
