Rosie and Blair share many interests such as gardening. Blair is very protective of his vege patch and Rosie loves to create tranquil outdoor areas in the flower garden for guests to enjoy. They both enjoy reading, biking and tramping. Rosie has had to learn to love rugby and Blair occasionally tolerates his compulsory exercise.

They were both born in Otago and are very proud of their beautiful environment. Despite extensive overseas travel, they refer to Wanaka as "paradise"

Rosie's life journey has involved being a registered nurse, a vocation she is still passionate about, and now works in the local community as a District Nurse on a casual basis.
Blair works for a New Zealand meat exporting company. His role involves procurement of lamb, beef,deer and goat meat from farmers in the Central Otago, Maniatoto and Queenstown areas. The meat is for domestic markets all over the world.

Both Rosie and Blair are very active in Rotary and can be seen at local fund raising events, Blair is usually the maestro of the barbeque.

Rosie is also a member of Rotary International and both have been awarded Paul Harris Fellows for community service.

Something could be said about their love of animals, but the author repeatedly fails to properly photograph their cat Sophie, and to negotiate an interview.

Large purpose built house, centrrally located beside the burbling waters of Bullock Creek. Three plush ensuite rooms are fitted out to a high standard. There are bikes for guests use and the hosts are genial and welcoming

The Rough Guide says

We found everything as advertised and had the bonus that Rosie and Blair were exceptional hosts. Thank you . Wal and Sue MacIntosh Bluff

From their enthusiastic and warm welcome with tea and pastries, plus freshflowers from the garden in bedroom there were constant 'over and beyond' personal attentions to make surewe enjoyed and made the most of our time there, whether resting and reading in their garden, helping with travel plans, ferrying us to the head of a lovely riverside path to walk back to town, providing sumptious breakfasts along with lively conversation ... we were treated like cherished guests, and left
Renmore House feeling we'd made new friends.

Wanaka is a wonderful place to visit, made even better by our stay in Renmore House, Nothing was too much trouble for the hostess as she made us welcome into her beautiful home. The top class facilities, together with good home baking, made our stay comfortable and satisfying. Much needed advice on available local activities allowed our visit to be both interesting and worthwhile. Renmore House will be top of our list for places to stay next time!

Rosie and Blair are the best sort of NZ b&b hosts: they run a spotless and comfortable home, they take enormous trouble and they are helpful guides when you want information on your travels. It is a delightful stop in a town with lots to do and see.

As I did not have access to the internet and therefore the great Tripadvisor reviews when I booked, I was so pleased at my lovely stay at the Renmore House. Everything was spot on; the location in town, the well- appointed rooms and common areas, the cheerfully bubbling brook in the back and the lovely breakfast (at your schedule) in the morning . Rosie and Blair show genuine care for their guests: Rosie generously picked me up right on time at the bus stop and later drove me to the head of an excellent walk among many, many other kindnesses.
This B&B has it all right and I cannot think of another place that could enhance your stay

Lucky, lucky stay
