What a wonderful place to stay! So many thoughtful little touches, from the fresh fruit and chocolates to the handwritten welcome card.The authentic kiwiana beach Bach The location is superb, fishing , bush-walks great local pub and gorgeous river swimming holes right on the doorstep.Gloria and Pete thank you so much , at short notice were so accommodating in extending our stay so I could cover a shift driving an ambulance in nearby Thames.We cannot recommend them highly enough and certainly hope to be back one day.
