This was a 'Splendid Oasis' in the suburbs of Auckland. It was nice to park the rental car and use public transportation to get around. Kate exceed our expectations with her special touches like homemade jams, fresh butter, and organic milk. We loved looking out over her private backyard/garden. The flowers were beautiful. Everything was thought of, down to a spare umbrella in the closet (which we needed). What a great way to kick off our 30th anniversary.
