We went to Te Aroha to climb the mountain of Te Aroha and then to have a spa at the famous Te Aroha bath yesterday. It was exciting but quite energy burning. We had chosen Sue's place to have a restful night. It turned to be a wise choice. Sue's family (including their dog, sheep and cows)was extremely friendly and they were happy and proud to show us their beautiful farm and every family member. The view was fantastic and the sunset was magnificent. The unit was quite new and it was very quiet. I thought anyone who loves to experience a genuine NZ farm life would not feel regretful to stay here!
