Jan and Damon are fascinating people and gracious hosts. They communicated well in the aftermath of Cyclone Gita and told me of an alternative route to reach them. The view from their farm is breathtaking. Jan prepared a delicious breakfast. We had lengthy, interesting discussions, and they had many helpful suggestions of things to see and do. One of the very best places I have stayed in four month-long visits to NZ. I hope to return.
