I rave about this place, and our hosts Scott and Jason. While here the NZ prime minister put shelter in place order out. Scott and Jason immediately plunged into service mode, helped us out with a myriad of details, including long term stay arrangements if necessary. They made us feel much less isolated and less of a stranger in a strange land, and knowing they were here to help made a world of difference. We hope to get out of NZ in 48 hours, but if we cannot, we know Scott and Jason will be among our oldest and dearest friends someday. This is truly a magical place and if we have to be elsewhere than home, it is not a hardship to be here!
