Marie and Geoff were very welcoming and made themselves available. They gave good tips about where to go to view white water rafters/kaykers, places to eat and hot springs off the beaten path. Great setting with view of lake and attached balcony. One of the best kept secrets of this site is the bountiful harvest of oranges, grapefruit, lemons and lettuce in their yard which they encouaged us to pick from.
I told Marie and Geoff I would root for the All Blacks as long as they earned it through tough competition which they finally did with S. Africa. Best wishes to the All Blacks in the finals. :)
