I stayed at Te Manapouri for a single night, having realised at short notice that I needed to be in Palmerston North for a couple of days' work. Rudyard was the perfect host and very welcoming, although we didn't see much of each other due to our respective work commitments. The B&B is very professionally run, and Rudyard has gone to great lengths to ensure guests have a lovely stay. The room is very comfortable, private bathroom clean and tastefully decorated, and the continental breakfast was very special; fresh bread, cereals, fresh fruit, a selection of teas; all the more so because Rudyard had prepared everything before catching an early flight. In all, it was a great place to stay and highly recommended.
