A scenic and very peaceful location, which was just what we needed to recover from our long-haul flight from the UK, followed by the trauma of fleeing the cyclone bearing down on Auckland. The beverages, biscuits and breakfast cereal were also most welcome, as we had not had time to stock up our own supplies. We enjoyed a visit from Carol’s friendly dogs (in a wide range of sizes) and our wander around the alpacas’ paddock.
