What a wonderful welcome at Donna and Alan's, including a refreshing beer and a glass of bubbly! A real treat to finish off our New Zealand holiday. Everything was clean and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the plentiful reading material about local sights, and the welcome by the local sheep and pony residents. A great, quiet location. Alan showed us around in his car and made us feel at home immediately. The Ballart Farm is a perfect base from which to explore Coromandel, and the wonderful beaches and walks on the Peninsula are in easy reach. The heartfelt farewell showed again what wonderful hosts we had - thank you! Maybe see you next year, Ute and Lutz
