Nigel was a great host and value added to our stay. Rarely do you meet someone that can give you so much history on thier own backyard. The Koru Van was just like any caravan but a very nice touch having the deck overlooking the pond and a hot spa as well. The beach is an eay walk through some grass paddocks where you can search for "greenstone" although i suspect Nigel would be rich if he had a dollar for every tourist that came back with a greenish rock proclaiming they found the holy grail.
