We arrived to Napier two days before cyclone Gabrielle hit the region. We were supposed to leave Jane’s place after four days and continue our trip. Unfortunately, after the cyclone, Napier got cut off from the rest of the country, there was no power, the whole town just shut down. Jane let us stay on in her beautiful cottage until we were able to travel, and she wouldn’t charge us anything. She continued to message to make sure we were ok and kept sending helpful information and advice. She is truly the most amazing, kind human being. The cottage is beautifully positioned, comfortable and well equipped and we hope to get back there as soon as we can. Thanks Jane.
