Staying in The Minty was an amazing experience...looking out upon the apple orchards and gardens, and listening to the plentiful spring rain. Ann and Geoff were wonderful- we arrived on bikes drenched by the rain; they helped put our bikes under cover, hang our wet gear, and encouraged us to take hot showers before they drove us to the grocery store!! We were privileged that Ann had a few spare hours so that we were able to hire her to transport us to Kaiteriteri and the airport at the end of our stay via the scenic routes. A clean and friendly stay.
