Nigel’s place turned out to be even better than expected. The open space of the accommodation as well as its great peaceful location in the sunny Hautere area of the Otaki gorge provided just what we needed for a rest and recuperation stop-over. Added to that there was ample opportunity for biking in the area as well as the must visit “Bus Stop” Cafe near Peka Peka.
The opportunity to spend time with Nigel in his astronomical observatory, where there is a great telescope setup that would totally blow any astronomer away was a very big bonus. A great place, a fun host and a splendid spot for a quiet break. Thanks guys!
