Carol was the most superb host! She is the epitome of the best of Kiwi hospitality...I had the whole downstairs- kitchen, dining/living room to myself ...the fridge was stocked with all sorts of home-made/home-grown goodies and then she brought me some of the home cooked veg from her garden she and Geoff were having for dinner...amazing! She invited me to yoga...I went walking in the Wither Hills however and also offered me a bike! The bed was super comfortable with a light blanket for me who over-heats with a duvet & Windows that open! Slept wonderfully.
