We had a wonderful time at Al and Cindy's beautiful tropical paradise in the Bay of Islands. It was truly a highlight of our month long trip throughout New Zealand. Not only was the accommodation first rate and well supplied and the garden and views of the bay outstanding, but on top of of all that Al & Cindy's hospitality truly made our visit extra special. We spent the day together on their boat and had the opportunity to stop at a couple of uninhabited islands for hikes, swims and a picnic. Truly a most memorable day. We wish we had planned to stay longer.
