Ok... heres the deal:
Owners were great
Ate freshly baked bread
happy eggs from happy chickens
cooked food on a exquisite circular fire pit with the deity Mahuika keeping watch
bathed under the stars
Trekked some awesome trails of varied difficulty (including waterfall accents and descents)
river swimming holes (slightly fresh temperatures) equipped with jumping ledge and rope swing
visited some resident glow worms
Had a midnight meeting with a morepork
Witnessed Parental duties of a kingfisher family residing above one of the swimming holes from a hammock
soaked muscles in a bubble bath overlooking the tree tops
tasted sweet locally produced honey and plum jam
wonderful wildlife, wonderful people
If this sounds like a bit of you, we most certainly recommend a visit to the Wairua Lodge.
