Englishman Steve Marcham was travelling New Zealand with his partner a decade ago when he answered an advertisement for a gardener-handyman at an old house just outside Christchurch.
Driving up the gently curved carriageway to Otahuna Lodge in Tai Tapu for an interview, he quickly realised this was no ordinary house.
"I thought 'wow'; I didn't think there was somewhere like this here. It is very much like home, growing up in the Cotswolds, and I worked at places like this when I was studying horticulture."
