We hit the jackpot with Des and Bev, will definitely be calling in again if we're back in the area.
Their place is perfectly halfway between Hobbiton and Waitomo, close to shops and easy to find.
Bev went above and beyond, leaving us some scones for breakfast with a nice glass of fresh orange juice, plenty of fruit to snack on as well.
We were greeted as if we were old mates and I wish we could have stayed longer.
Cheers for a good first night back in NZ =)
