We stayed at Hannah’s place for 3 nights and had a marvellous time! The cottage was cosy and private - everything was prepared for our arrival (air con, breakfast supplies). Waipara is a small vineyard town and we spent a day visiting the vineyards nearby which are connected via a walking trail that the cottage backs on to. Very handy! Another day was spent at Maruia Springs which is about 1.5hours away- very worthwhile if you have the time. Thanks Hannah and family for a relaxing time!
