Your Hosts

Cyril and Jan are owners of Cabourne. The property they live on was a market garden until they retired in 2008. The Tudor Villa and Bed and breakfast was built in 1946 in Hamilton City but in 1982 the land was needed for development and Cyril and Jan purchased the building and relocated it to their land at Dixon road Glenview 

The cottage was built in 1986 for the family and added to the accommodation choices in 2006.

Cyril came to New Zealand in 1963 as a farming immigrant from the small village of Cabourne Lincolnshire, England. He is a past president of the local lions club and enjoys keeping the landscaped garden pituresque. Fishing is always a welcomed pastime.

Jan is a fifth generation New Zealander. She loves to make preserves for her guests, using fruit and vegetables grown on the property. Jan is involved in the local lioness club, rural women and garden club, 

Cyril and Jan have two adult children and two beautiful grandchildren. They enjoy travel and meeting people from all walks of life.
