Colin is the embodiment of the word host. He was ready to greet us at any hour — and our plans to arrive kept changing! He provided us with local food recommendations even before we checked in. When we arrived, he showed us to our room and offered us hot tea and warm kōrero. We enjoyed a nice, peaceful night’s rest before heading out in the morning. Colin is very knowledgeable — not just about Whanganui but about all of Aotearoa. He gave us many good recommendations for the rest of our trip, including a quick sight-see at Durie Hill before we had to hit the road. A great, genuine kiwi welcome and send off. Ngā mihi nui Colin, e noho rā!
