We came to our first Womad by bus from Wellington, and Dee picked us up from the bus station. When we arrived at her place, she refreshed us with coffee which she served on the deck of her home. We accepted her really kind offer to share their evening meal, which she brought down to us on a lovely tray.
Our room was huge, our bed was comfortable with luxurious bed linen, the view was magnificent, and the shower was fabulous, including little plastic bottles of hair shampoo. We felt guilty to admit that we each eat different breakfast cereal, but that was no trouble to Dee, who supplied each of us with the breakfast that we like the best.
Each morning we had a special delivery of the newspaper, and so we could read about the issues that Taranaki faces.
At the end of our stay, Dee even drove us to the bus, which meant leaving her home at 7.30 am. To our utter surprise she had made wonderful sandwiches for us to eat on the way to Wellington. Far beyond the call of duty! We definitely recommend Dee’s place and would stay here again.
