I had the best possible time! Certainly a big part of that was Waiheke itself, which is an amazingly beautiful island, but Donna was a huge added bonus to the overall allure and the reason for all the joy and fun I had staying in her home; and her home is absolutely lovely; very private and quiet, with a big back yard and deck, perfect for enjoying the weather and a good book; and the kitchen is beautiful, well stocked and full of amenities. Donna is full of knowledge about New Zealand and specifically Waiheke, and she has many other interests as well - it was such a treat chatting with her and learning from her, always such a great gift when traveling
