We booked this with my parents and 1 year old son and they keep showing me pictures of the fog in the valley, the magestic tree seen from the cottage window and keep talking about the maize harvest, the horses, the Kai Iwi lake, Waipua forest, beach and forest walks ...Although it seemed a long way from Auckland, all 5 packed in our little car, it was worth the trip and we have met a very interesting couple. Thank you for making us feel welcome and sharing your piece of paradise!
