We had originally hoped to book a place at Te Aroha but we couldn't find anything. How fortuitous for us, because just 15 minutes drive down the road, we found this meticulous restoration of a church instead. We wouldn't want to say too much more about it; there's something special about arriving at a place and it's more than you could of imagined. Even the torrential rain couldn't dampen our enthusiasm. As soon as we opened the door, we just went "wow". We definitely plan to return when we get around to doing the rail trail.
