I was very fortunate to share Tatjana's Place, but unfortunately only for 1 day.
This is truly a little piece of paradise, overlooking the beach and the bay with all the islands in the background. The photo in the listing cannot do it justice.
Arriving quite late in the afternoon, I was welcomed by Tatjana and Mike. A very interesting discussion followed covering a range of New Zealand aspects include the various customs, cultures, and peculiarities of the various areas. It was really nice to discuss this with someone knowledgeable and passionate about quite a range of aspects of New Zealand and will really come handy for the remainder of my trip.
After a good night's rest, I opted for a walk on the beach first thing in the morning. The water was warm, so I started the day with a swim. The sea was very calm and relaxing, with only small swell.
Unfortunately, I had to leave for my next stop on my itinerary, but to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I'll be back!"
