Even though I arrived at the tail end of the worst storm the area has seen in decades, Kimberely and Paul's place was a comforting oasis in the hills. There were all the amenities that I needed and I had a lovely stay. The final drive up the hill has some bumpy moments, but if my car could make it up, yours can too. I didn't get much exploring in the hills done due to the storm, but I hope to make it back one day and get the full taste of Wainui.
