    The location is stunning and so quiet. The hosts were some of the kindest and most generous I've ever met! The Whare is cosy and warm and just lovely.

    Thank you very much for accommodating Leeanne for two nights and especially helping her to feel comfortable, safe and welcomed. She loved when you and your granddaughter came out with milk! She said your moko was like a little angel! :)
