We arrived the evening before a weather bomb hit the West Coast. Torrential rain, loss of power for many hours but we hunkered down and managed well until power was restored. A neighbour called by on Michelle’s request to check on us and offering food and help. We were stuck for 24 hours when the main highway was closed due to slips and flooding but able to stay an extra night and managed to change forward bookings.
The bach was very clean and tidy with a more than sufficient shower. Fly screens over windows saved us from the sandflies and mossies but we also brought with us a Mortein plug-in insect repellant. A good library there.
The only thing which was a problem were the hard single beds for older backs. One of our party had brought a thick mattress topper … made all the difference. Another slept on the more comfortable sofa bed. No problem with the double bed.
Many thanks to Michelle for her communications making us feel welcome and cared for under tricky conditions.
