Thelma House

The sun comes out, and so do the travellers! 🌞

Thelma House welcoming cycling guests Barbel and Friedel from Germany, and NZMCA guests Dan and Lily doing a roady of the South Island.😁

One of my most favourite services we provide here at Thelma House is accommodation. I love the fabulous conversations from all ages and stages. On our small square of paradise, we have tried to provide different options to suit different budgets and traveller requirements.🧳

From camping in a tent, motorhome, caravan or van, self contained bus bnb, or studio bnb, we have you sorted! 😎

Roll on summer!! 🥳

TOTALLY unexpected slipper hunt this morning!

Absolutely stoked with this lovely deer for the freezer!

I faffed around for ages trying to decide if it would stick around long enough for me to stalk in closer for a shot....

Thanks batman for the muscle! 💪

Guess the gods were smiling on me today ☺️

EVERY year in the orchard, these little silver eyes give me no end of joy and smiles 😊

Usually quite oblivious of the human stalking them with a camera 🤣 they feed hanging like an acrobat on the leftover apples 🍎

My sister this week snuck on one eating inside an apple.
She got so close that she could have spanked its feathery backside! 🤭

My nose was just about taken out, too, when a flock of over 70 odd birds 🐦 was moving from block to block! I'm sure I heard its friends yell....pull up, pull up!

Sooo funny 🤗

JUNE 2025 will be a month we will all remember for a long time!

Luckily the old timers knew where to build their home, so Thelma House being built in the 1900's stood the test of mother nature and survived.

Yes, the garden and paddocks had some new creeks and lakes appear but nothing compared with alot of locals.

All my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this incrediably distructive weather event.

WINTER has defiently arrived in the apple orchard! Crisp is an under statement 😂

This morning I decided to play a warm up exercise for the brain in the Hope it would help me from noticing my frozen toes and fingers 🥶

Basically it went something like this.....How many words can you think of that describes the things you DO love about winter....
