Murray and Joan Ayson

We have a passion for cooking and meeting people to share our meals with. We love to travel both locally and overseas. Retired South Otago farmers, we have an intimate knowledge of the local area. Murray paints NZ landscapes of the southern South Island (oil on canvas) view www.murrayayson.com of places we travel for resource material. Joan's love of cooking food and sharing recipes with those who join us for meals has led me to professionally produce my own cookbook five years ago and a reprint also sold out. Our rural view is stunning and we can offer a walk through our 1 acre (.4 h) garden or chat over pre-dinner drinks before meal.
