I only spent time with Nigel on my short stay. But I have to say that I am so grateful for the time he took to relax and have a nice long story exchange with me. It was the only in-depth NZ interaction I'd had in almost 2 weeks and it was sorely needed, as I'd been talking mostly to trees and animals, haha (also wonderful).
If you read the reviews, you already know the place is perfect. But the people who hold this wonderful space for you--even better.
