We loved our night in this special place. Ralf went above and beyond; when we arrived, the radio was playing, there were fresh flowers on the table and a newspaper plus 2 packs of biscuits, making us feel so very welcome.
Ralf also told us to listen out for kiwis at night, and sure enough, after living in New Zealand for 10 years I finally got to hear a kiwi calling during the night.
I enjoyed my night watching the fire, listening to old records and the wildlife outside; a welcome break from the device-centred lives we usually lead.
