We arrived in New-Zealand on the day Cyclone Gabrielle was approaching the coast, and Ron & Janice's home was our first stop after landing - and also the best place we could have hoped for to go through the storm! We fell in love with this place: Ron & Janice are wonderful hosts, taking incredibly good care of their guests (delicious home-made breakfast, great advice for the region or the country, interesting talks) and of their home (amazing garden, very cosy feeling inside, very clean and tidy room & bathroom). If you're traveling to NZ, or just looking for a weekend trip out of Auckland, don't look further and pay them a visit :)
